Day 5: Christians and horse motels

9am Bid adieu to the family and head on out again. I am a woman of the road.

10am Realize road trip blogs are not that interesting. Weigh the possibilities of skipping right to Chicago but decide to persevere. Sorry.

11am Don’t even sneer as I pass George Bush freeway in Dallas. I’m very mature and accepting now.

4pm Hit the Oklahoma rest stop for a map.

4:10pm Overhear the rest area employees talking: “Sheila, try this. It’s hummus. Comes from the hummus plant.”

4:32pm Buy peaches on the roadside from the gentlest woman alive.

4:35pm Spot some hummus plants.

5pm Cannot find a radio station not talking about Jesus. Listen to a hip DJ insist that if you’re lost and you need wisdom, you just need to wait and Jesus will give it to you. I want to say, ‘Why don’t you go ahead and get the knowledge yourself instead of waiting?’ Actually, I do say it, but she doesn’t hear.

6:20pm Stop again at Walmart. Again, the only audio book for sale is Glen Beck’s. Still a no.

6:22pm See a man too fat to walk using a Rascal. Realize I could be caught on the People of Walmart blog. Shake a leg.

11pm Make it Joplin, MO before hitting my last hotel of the trip.

Really interesting and special post. I like stuff like making more exploration, developing writing skills, as well as related things. All these help in being a qualified person on this topic. This post is very helpful to us because people like you set aside time to learning. Regularity is the key. But it is not that easy, as has been made out to be. I am not saying I am an expert like you and plenty of times I feel like giving it up. Looking at a person like me, your site is of good support and booster. Thank you sharing.

I have to agree with your statement with this issue and not just because that is my business. I have dealt with a lot of people who spent quite a while trying to find a way out through proper idea of this topic. These were always always annoyed. Always play strengths and understanding, and if at all possible, search for the advice of a qualified person to handle the parts you might never handle yourself. Eventually, you will have great final result. Thanks for the tips I discovered on your site.

If the criticism is destructive instead in constructive the individual on the receiving end could begin to believe that they aren’t good at something and could become depressed and stop trying on trying to accomplish something. Individuals require to be careful when criticising someone and make it constructive and not destructive.
