Summary
I was lying awake in the hospital, having an existential crisis. I was thinking about what I wish I'd done differently years ago. And the answer I came up with is something you might need to hear. I also discuss:
-- going into "beast mode"
-- how to find God when everything's falling apart
-- the book He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Ciszek
