Wish That
Sometime toward the beginning of this year, my roommate was listening to a teaching (that’s the over-simplification of what it was) and the speaker was using the example of certain types of cicadas that come out every 17 years and then asked the listeners what they were doing 17 years ago since the world looks…

Yesterday was a rough day emotionally. It was full of relational bridging and life-or-death decisions (I don’t want to revisit that right now, but it wasn’t me or any of my loved ones, in case anyone gets concerned).

Finishing Well
Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean?
