![]() ![]() ![]() But the book I just finished has not only convicted but also bolstered my spirit and renewed my resolve. As always, the two are inextricably bound to one another. Many of the books I’ve chosen to read this summer have helped me to see some of my many weaknesses, and also, thankfully, validated some of my strengths. I think of myself more highly than I ought, methinks. Oh, don’t worry, I continue to love myself. I’m often petty, self-absorbed and self-righteous, easily angered, hypocritical, thoughtless, vain, jealous, etc., etc. My reading adventures, working on this crazy satirical novel, and being alone so much have led me to confront many uncomfortable realities about myself–I have lacked resilience and settled for mediocrity much of my life. This summer continues to be a time of renewal for my spirit, but it hasn’t been easy. ![]()
