Summary: I have this friend. She's great. We're really close. I tell her everything - I tell her about my coworkers, my dreams, my family, my embarrassing moments - everything.

Dangerous Ground (Exodus 34)

Way Back Home (Exodus 33)
Summary: I never knew how to act after receiving a punishment from my parents. Were my parents still mad at me? Should I be mad at them? Should I avoid eye contact?

The Power Couple (Exodus 31)
Summary: I admit that some of y’all talented folk make me a little jealous. Those of you who can sing at church and in the choir without their throat burning and their eyes watering.

Here’s My Heart, Lord (Exodus 28)
Summary: Do you remember the crappy gifts you gave your parents when you were little? I remember drawing my best imitation of a blue first place ribbon and cutting it out for my father.

No More Commitment Issues (Exodus 27)
Summary: Sometimes I suck at making decisions. Whether it's trying to decide what to do with a friend or which outfit to purchase, I get stressed out wondering if I will regret my choice later on.

You’re Being Really Extra (Exodus 25)
Summary: There's just something about the old days. No, not those old days. The old old days.
