In fact, truth be told, the family received theirs by cashing in some credit card reward points. I resisted because ...read more

    BYOB stands for Bring Your Own Beverage. Today’s parable is about preparing for our individual and irrevocable particular judgment at death and it is always a Bring Your Own Oil affair—BYOO.
