Rabbit Holes, Thin Ice, and TeddyOh, but your legs are aching with fatigue. The wolves' paws are slipping and sliding on the ice behind you, but they are gaining purchase and catching up. It's an entire pack of the howling, snarling creatures...
-
An Epic StruggleWe won't know true joy in this life without love as it is a significant part of who we are. Love is what made us. God is love, and in that love He created this race of living creatures that can reason, rationalize, decide, and love.
