I could tell you otherwise if I wanted, although I suspect that makes life interesting. You will not receive a promotion or a raise every six months. You won't break your PB every time you…
Russell Westbrook recently broke the NBA record for triple doubles with 182. It is a record set by the legendary Oscar Robertson and has existed for 47 years. Honestly, it's one of those records I thought would never be broken, but Westbrook's amazing combination of athleticism and heart got it there. Westbrook himself once said: "Every day when I get…

We had Church that morning, I had to pick up Hayden from work in the early afternoon, and then tonight he was border referee for a local soccer game. The youth led our service, so Madison…
