Yesterday I met up with an old friend of mine, David N. and when meeting up with old friends, there is of course the standard question, "How have you been?" Now, as I finally update my website, I am faced with the same task of answering that question. As I look back over what's going on in my life, I realize that it's a far more difficult question to answer than I had initially thought. I feel as though I am being heavily attacked on a spiritual level. There have been a series of challenges to my faith and to my dedication to God. I wish I could say that I have overcome all of those challenges with righteousness, but that would be an outrageous lie. I can't say I don't miss my old life. I also can't say that I'd ever return to it. I don't think I really can. Ultimately I really have changed a lot and certain recent events have proven that it is memory which tempts me.

I have class soon; I must continue this another time.

I just looked at my last post and I realized how melodramatic it seemed.
