“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” -C.S. Lewis This little nugget of hope was recently posted over at Nhan-Fiction, and it was a great reminder to come across at this point in my life. I’ve always been a fan of Lewis, though his philosophy on many things differs from my own. This,…

Right now, as I’m typing this, I’m on a train cutting through the Michigan countryside, trying not to get sick. One of the benefits of having quit my day job is that I now have the time to visit home, which I haven’t been able to do in two years. Obscene. I’m going on Tuesday…

Last night’s dream was an interesting one, in that I’ve either had a very, very similar dream before, a long time ago, or I’ve read this book and/or seen this movie a long time ago, have completely forgotten the title of either, and have just modified it to my own tastes. So if this strikes…
