I have a couple of different blog series on the backburner, and I intend to get both of them going again shortly, but first I just wanted to air some thoughts I’ve had in my head lately. Basically, this is the gist of them:

The last few months have been some of the most intense moments of my life, spiritually speaking. Lows, highs, and everything in between. The accompanying strain on the emotions has physically taken its toll on my body as well. I am absolutely convinced my recent illness was greatly exacerbated by my mental state, as generally [...]
