As it sounds.
Caveat Emptor Before I dive into the meat of a post which I converted from hand written notes, a little background is necessary. I am deep in writing my final masters thesis for an MPhil in Theology from the University of Cambridge. A lot is at stake as my score will determine whether I get…
If you found out tomorrow you would have to leave the military (or whatever profession you are in), hang up your uniforms, turn in your gear, and let your clearance lapse – what would that do to who you are? Would you find yourself lost, confused, discouraged? Would you be excited? Would you feel like…
A Child’s Beginnings Some of my earliest reads in life were Narnia and Lord of the Rings. My mother read C.S. Lewis to us when I was quite small, but then I didn’t do much reading at all for quite a few years. I have spoken before about moving from Colorado to South Dakota when…

I have been blessed to have amazing discussions recently with my family and friends about mental, physical, and spiritual health, so this prompt comes at an apt time.
