From a wresting Christian – What about the devil?
I’ve been on a journey with God that has been hopeful at best and strenuous and tiresome at worst. A good analogy, used millions of times by writers, is that of hiking a long and arduous trail.

A look on productivity - Why am I always tired? (PSI Best of 2018)
Sometimes I just need coffee. Let me rephrase: Most times I need coffee. If someone took an outside look at my life, I would gander a guess that it would seem my life revolves around that hot, caffeine filled liquid.
