It is in the quiet crucible of your personal private sufferings that your noblest dreams are born and God’s greatest gifts are given in compensation for what you have been through.

I am spending way too much time on coins. I have decided to go on a coins fast until the end of the year. My fast will begin this Saturday. Facebook is another distraction as well. I have been fasting from Facebook for over a week. Facebook apps are a huge problem for me. I [...]
