Gator Country

Though I'm not reticent about blogging on spiritual or moral themes I've shied away from overtly Christian topics until today. Not that I am by any means embarrassed or ashamed of my faith, but religion - even loosely termed - tends to be polarizing. I had a different vision for my little corner of GC so my themes for the most part have had a more ecumenical approach.

I have held back on my more serious and sober thoughts, unwilling to share them for fear...

Dirty floors annoy me. Sand and leaves get tracked in, crumbs get dropped, lint accumulates and dust bunnies spawn under furniture. It becomes an unattractive distraction from the orderliness I prefer in my home and I just don't like the feel of grit under my bare feet when I walk through the house. It's easy enough to eliminate.
