I took long walks around <a href="http://www.radnorlake.org/lake_map.asp">Radner Lake</a>, read quite a bit, cooked some (an amazing and rare thing for me), did a little sorting and discarding in preparation for my move in October, and just generally kicked back.

<p>I spent much time in my own head, thinking through deeply rooted problems and sin in my own life from childhood crap. I needed this time, and need more still, to begin the healing process and make changes in life; changes that will lead to a restoration of Life God meant me to have.</p>
<p>Much of my writing ended up being stuff that&#8217;s really only for private consumption. I had big plans to finish all the various drafts of posts I started last week but didn&#8217;t have time or energy to finish. But sometimes &#8212; well, often times, really &#8212; life just doesn&#8217;t pan out the way we plan.</p>
