CANARY ISLANDS — Duke began circling excitedly and pulling on his green leash dangling near the door while Keith tied his shoelaces. Ruff! Duke couldn’t wait for his evening walk.
 
Keith hooked the leash, leading Duke outside, “Let’s go, buddy!” Keith enjoyed the nearby park as well. He’d been praying for his neighbors and these daily walks had become an opportunity to hang out and talk about life. 
 
His mind wandered to some recent conversations:

• “Why the [expletive] are we even here? Why do we exist?”
• “I don’t want to hear any more about heaven or hell. I’m interested in knowing what is the point of all this right now!”
• “Why is there no peace? Why can’t people get along?”
• “I want to know the truth!”
