My Rock… My Dad

I will tell you that most kids "discover" that their parents were kids just about the time they have kids of their own. Well, I know it did to me.

Church

Ok, I know that there is always that one person. That person who just can't seem to be quite during church. Maybe a screaming kid, or a hacky cough or maybe SNORING!
