Why Why?
“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” Proverbs 18:2
“Those who know how, work for those who know why.” Chinese Proverb
I have been struggling with this endeavor for a long time now. Putting it off. Procrastinating. Whatever you want to call it. But before I spend a lot of time on this, and before you spend time reading it, we both need …
Why Christianity
I’ve tried many times to organize and present this and I am never satisfied.

Isaiah 17:6-10
6Only a few of its people will be left,
like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.
Only two or three remain in the highest branches,
four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,”
