When Your Unmet Expectations Finally Get Buried

  The Spice Girl’s Mental Health   May tiptoed down the corridor and opened the door slightly. She was being extra cautious not to wake anyone as it was a good hour before the dawn – she didn’t need any dissuasion or what her father termed common sense. Stepping into the courtyard, she felt the chill permeate through her clothing. For although it was early Spring, the weather was still trying to extricate itself from the throes of winter.     The security guard at the gate dipped his head in a bow as he closed the gate behind her.

The Night God Didn’t Wait: A Lesson in Unleavened Bread and Unexpected Acceleration

A wry smile tugged at my lips as the irony of the moment settled in. There I was, greasy fingers scrolling through a devotional while waiting – impatiently – for my bread dough to rise. Two hours had passed already, and the dough still looked like it needed another hour. I was tempted to shove it into the oven as‑is. After all, why should it take so long? “Why am I even making this bread?” I muttered, half‑annoyed.I wanted to be at the seaside, not babysitting dough. Then the question dropped. “Why do you think it is called unleavened bread?” Without hesitation, I answered,“It had no yeast.” “Why did it have no yeast?” That one stopped me. My eyelids scrunched, my brain rummaging for the obvious answer like a student whispering exam questions to herself, hoping the answer would magically
