It only took me five months.  I enjoyed it, but it was very dense and slow reading.

I don&#8217;t do a very good job of following up with people when they ask me to pray for them.   I&#8217;ve also been tired a lot, so don&#8217;t be surprised if I draw back and feel like a recluse for a while.  Maybe it&#8217;s time for a little introspection, solitude, and quiet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend was my fraternity&#8217;s founder&#8217;s day celebration.
