Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, and hearken unto me, for poor and needy am I. Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save Thy servant, O my God, that hopeth in Thee.

Grace wielded not a two-edged sword, but one with three edges against the foe: a single blade forged in heaven and sharpened with threefold might, which ever fighteth for the one thrice-radiant Godhead.

This post begins a series chronicling my week-long personal retreat at a local hermitage in the last week of January leading into February. These writings were made daily during the retreat, typically in the evenings but as the week went on I would write a bit in the mornings and afternoons too.

Setting up Grocy on Caddy with Let’s Encrypt Support
23May

Just a Memory
17April
Listening to The Specktators (well, Packy) right now. It makes me think of the times I’d walk to the bus stop every morning to go to school, muting out the noise of the world, enjoying the beat and the message. Feeling the 60 degree weather, just that perfect temperature that isn’t too cold nor too hot. Not even worrying about the future, worrying about the past. Just living in the...
