    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,962 views

    Some of us choose darkness, like moles burrowing into the ground. Our behavior becomes obsessively demonic, for which there are consequences. The Gospel calls us to be what God has made us to be, creatures living in the light, with passion.

A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more
