I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.

I find Jesus my confidant and companion, brother and savior; our relationship is intimate, vulnerable, demanding yet comfortable and reassuring.

By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.

I don't have any ambition.
