I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.

Though written thousands of years ago, this bleak analysis still resonates with our own restless yearning for more. We want more than meaningless stuff. We want more than surface-level connections and ambitions. We want more than a seemingly...
