There’s a guy at church that asked if he could do a little devotional with me in the morning. He’s a VA social worker and wanted to be able to center himself before going to deal with heavy stuff all day. I agreed and it’s been going well. He’s a chill dude and it has taken me quite a while to figure out his background. Turns out he did a couple hairy tours and has some honors for it.

And that’s the story of how I ended up with a ex army ranger named Karl as my alarm clock. It’s been almost two years, and as you may imagine he’s very consistent.

Life is weird, man.
