“Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.”

July 28, 2022

This is a picture I took of a table of books in a local store… …witchcraft, divination, the occult is everywhere.

3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

March 7, 2022

January 30, 2022

The other week I slipped into an intense state of anxiety… And then after a little while of getting completely wound up in that I realized I had finally spiraled down into depression.
