What I Think I Know

“Just trying to do the hardest thing of all – to understand”

Years can easily pass where no serious consideration is given to the eternal questions of human existence

Years can easily pass where no serious consideration is given to the eternal questions of human existence

November 12, 2016 Nate

“…we humans seem to possess a deep-seated longing to find the truth, even though that longing is easily suppressed by the mundane details of daily life. Those distractions combine with a desire to avoid considering our own mortality, so that days, weeks, months, or even years can easily pass where no serious consideration is given to the eternal questions of human existence.”

The Language of God, P. 7
