“And eventually, the choosing becomes easier, the darkness lifts, and walking in Jesus' way is not quite such a strugglefor a while. But the darkness will always return, often unexpectedly.

And it carries me through those real places, real experiences into one that is more fully and truly Real: the Reality of Resurrection, of Light, of Life.”
