Intelligence isn’t her strong suit, bless her heart! I also have a long standing tradition if a tradition can actually be established in the just shy of three years of blogging here at Be Still and Know. Early on in my blogging experience I established the highly prized  Goober Award which is reserved for those moments when common sense and good judgment fail and you find yourself namely me in situations where the sheer stupidity of your or my actions become evidently clear. I have been awarded this coveted prize multiple times. The Goober Award is reserved for those moments when I wonder how I actually have the brain capacity to draw breath.

Thank you Jesus and whatever Microsoft programmer thought about putting this miraculous button at the top of my page, and a big thank you to the new reverend most high for sharing this wonderful solution with me. If all life’s problems could be solve this easily and by the way where can I get a button like that for my life. If you are interested in submitting someone you love for this highly desired recognition, I will be accepting applications for consideration for other individuals that you feel...
