When Things Get Bad

Today is just another one of those days when I am super introspective. On these days, I think about how the events of my past have led me to who I am in my character today. So, of course, this leads me down a rabbit hole in remembering all of the past events, the decisionsContinue reading “When Things Get Bad”

Lack of Control

For the last couple of days, I have been reading the beginning of Ecclesiastes. While reading, I encountered some interesting nuggets of truth.

Where is it?

There are so many things that we as a people juggle. When leaving the house to go wherever we need to go, we have to remember our wallet, our keys, our phone, and then other stuff that we need for whatever task we have set out to accomplish.
