I’ve been writing a lot lately, and I’m sure that at this point, I’m going through a redundant stage on my blog. The key to processing seems to be that you’re annoyingly redundant for a while, but it is absolutely essential to move past that stage eventually. Maybe blogging will help push me over the…

It’s been a while. I have to admit, I got a bit discouraged when I’d been blogging for a couple of months and still hadn’t gotten any comments. But really, I’m mostly doing this for myself and no one else. Any readers who ever happen upon this site will just be a bonus. I notice…

[Note from the future: The embedded link seems to not be working, but the URL at the bottom of the page is active.] I told my team today about all the things I want to do with my life, and I was surprised how positive they were about it. There was no mention of “Well,…

I’ve got 20 minutes left in the computer room, but I wanted to put this on here. Thinking about the short-term and short-term goals seems to be a much more popular lens than focusing on the long-term, but I think that’s exactly what brought me to rock bottom. The short term is going to suck,…

I’ve been a bit discouraged about writing lately because it seems that I still haven’t been discovered, and also because I feel like I’m being judged if I’m “on electronics” all day. But staring off into space and/or sleeping all day isn’t really any better. I did get a recent morale boost when the hospital’s…

I posted my last entry in part because, although I was steeped in only the Christian point of view for most of my life thus far, lately I’ve been willing to give ear to almost anything but what I grew up with. The people who I admire who create content online watch videos they disagree…

I don’t actually remember what got me onto this train of thought, but today I decided spontaneously to look up “Biblical Counseling” on the internet.
