What did you do with My Son?

Over the past several months, I’ve been pondering my place in this world, and life in general. Nothing that unusual for me, but lately my pondering has taken me in a faith-challenging direction. I’m going to ramble for a bit, hoping it makes more sense to me – and helps you – when I’m done.
