Forever, that's the short answer. I started writing this in January of 2023. I’ve had to take long breaks in between writing it. It is probably my longest post. It finally happened.

It is a fact. Some people may be facing death right now, having been told they only … Continue reading When is it OK to Die?
The Great Flood of 2022
