I’ll never forget the time in college my roommate and I hosted a 48 hour lock-in at his church. It was the ultimate lock-in – 48 hours of games, bowling, laser tag, roller skating, food, movies, capture the flag and a host of other fun events. Did mention it was 48 hours? Without sleep? With…

Name some of the most impatient situations you’ve ever been in. I bet they involve traffic and anything that has to do with waiting in a line. I remember waiting in line at Disney World on a family vacation. An app on my phone told me approximately how long we would have to wait. While…
