There is woven inside of us the desire for something more – a craving to be part of something bigger, greater, and more profound than our relatively meaningless day-by-day existence. Maybe that's why human beings would ever want to climb Everest, swim from Cuba to Florida as we saw in the news this week, or attempt any feat not yet accomplished by fellow humans. Perhaps that's why we get hooked on politics, sports, or a myriad of causes that give us something to fight for. So what is our purpose? What are we searching for that is bigger than us? Solomon helps us answer this question as he was on his own search in the book of Ecclesiastes.
