A Loser's Penance

Anytime men--strangers or friends--are grouped together, men turn to sports. It's the universal language of most men and wagering a sports related contest is a way for naturally agressive men to compete in a non- aggressive manner.

I say this to explain that in March, Greg entered a NCAA Basketball Bracket contest. March Madness is a great time for men to measure each other's knowledge and make foolish bets based on what they think they know. The penance for the bracket losers? Wear a mustache for one week. I present to you, Greg with a Hitler-esque Mustache, minus the gotee.

Better luck next time Greg!

I'm a New York driver, born in Texas, living in Arizona.

I love my family immensely.
And they will probably be the death of me.
But they make me laugh nearly every day.
So there's that.

I'm a wife and mom, who never got a handbook on how to be a wife or mom.

I leapfrog from one idea or project to the next.
This will be the death of my family.
But I make them laugh almost every day.
So there's that.

I work full-time in high tech and I'm a member of a local community church.

I'm a friend to all sinners.
Because I was a really great sinner myself.
Now I'm following Jesus as best as I can.
So there's that.
