https://soundcloud.com/the-muggo/story-time-with-themuggo-dumbphone-life I don't have a smartphone. I sorta feel like it's time to talk about that fact. I own a phone manufactured by LG that slides out to reveal a lovely QWERTY keyboard. I can make phone calls with it, and I can set up to seven different alarms. And that's about it. I'll …
By KYLE MONTGOMERY In commemoration of the anniversary of my father going home to our Lord, please allow me to share a story adapted from stories told in his last days, at his funeral, and each year since. I tell you this story gripping a handful of items I carry in my pocket, items my …
If you missed the first post about my experimentation with Intermittent Fasting, read about it here. The following will make a lot more sense after you read that. I was told from the start that the first few days would be the hardest. I was also lied to. Don't get me wrong, the first few …
