Ecclesiastes, Part 1: Vanity, and Wisdom
I highly recommend reading this AFTER reading the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, which touches on a great number of my feelings recently.

Philosophy, Theology, Preparedness.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!”- Psalm 103:1 ESV Last year was a particularly difficult one for me. I felt alone, isolated, depressed, and tired.
