Guilt followed the pride of life dissipating Zach’s energy. That may have been a good thing since he was wasting his time on stuff that didn’t matter.
But what mattered? Zack was just a simple guy with a conscience informing him that he had lost his way. To get back on track he ran after one godforsaken enlightenment program until it disappointed him giving it up for some other gnostic nonsense.
I can’t tell you how Zach found his way home because I am in the same hog pen that you are refusing to eat the miraculous pearls which allegedly would provide living energy that could not be equated with matter no matter how fast the speed of light was.

Denise offers the prompt word “energy” for this week’s Six Sentence Stories.
I was thinking of those pearls and swine in Matthew 7:6 when E=mc2 came to mind. The “I” in the story is the narrator running his mouth pretending to be the author.

Great story. Praying that Zach finds his way to Jesus. Great “GotQuestions” article.

Thank you, Michael! I trust Zack will. He is searching and he will find Him.

Did Zach find his way home or is he still a prodigal? I’m glad you clarified the “I”. I know (or I believe), you found your way.
Love the reference of speed of light. You can’t outsource God!

Good point: we can’t outsource God. Zach found his way home. I should have pointed that out. It’s the narrator who refused to see how it could have happened. Thank you, Mary!

Thank you, Dora! The energy of physics isn’t alive which means it can’t explain, by itself, how we got here in the first place.

I confess I rather struggled to follow this one, Frank.
