Some things are just difficult.
February 3, 2014. Over the past couple of days, a friend and I have been studying some hard subjects. We have asked hard questions and have been hard-pressed to find complete answers.

What is truth?
January 26, 2014. There are many paths that man may take– all that will either bring good or harm. Yet each in his own path will find no alarm. There are many thinkers amongst the sons of men– ideas are woven and thoughts are formed. Yet to each clings his own, with others scorned. “What…
A lesson from the past, part 2.
