As I sit hear drinking my coffee on a leather couch positioned in front of a monster stone fireplace and a huge wall of windows, I wonder can money buy happiness? [...]

What are you willing to give up for 40 days?

Christine — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 08:02:00 +0000

I am by means far from practicing religion, but I thought this to be an interesting topic. We just marked the passing of Ash Wednesday.
