Recently, I came across a remarkable story about a man named Codey McElroy. He grew up in a town called Frederick, Oklahoma. It is a town that I am very familiar with because it is only 25 minutes away from where my family lives. McElroy played baseball and basketball in high school in Chattanooga, Oklahoma - only a few minutes away from Frederick.

A phrase most may be familiar with, “You catch more bees with honey,” comes to mind after recent weeks of sticking my nose around the hot topic of the moment on the local Rants and Raves page.

I can be a very indecisive person at times. Just ask my husband. When he asks me to choose a restaurant, I will drive in circles thinking about which one to pick, just to inevitably pick the same one we always go to. The same thing goes for grocery shopping. I used to love grocery shopping, but lately it is becoming a bit more of a chore than an enjoyment. When did everything become so full of choices? I mean, yoghurt for example. There used to be around six flavors to choose from and now there are literally dozens. The same goes for coffee creamer. I will stand there looking through the glass door to the creamers trying to decide which one I want for the week (sometimes I leave with three different kinds because I couldn’t make up my mind). Wal-Mart especially, is an indecisive person’s nightmare.
