Have you ever had a bad day? You know, the kind where the washer breaks, the car won’t start, ants are invading your house, Pastor Jim won’t stop coming into your office at work, there’s no sports on TV at home so you’re watching TLC, you just discovered lice on your child, and your in-laws are coming for a visit—all in one day.
