It's Monday.
Random, end of July Monday.
The fireworks are over.
I am really excited to work today, but the words just aren't coming.

It is like something is blocking me.
A big brick wall.
I went...

The other day I pulled out an old journal from a few years ago.
I was looking for something I said about a friend that he would find encouraging.
Of course, I couldn't find it (So many words Luke...
