Today's reading comes from an essay written by our very own Traditio teacher, Brittany Hartke. I asked her to compose an article on the value of reading literature, and she wrote a great piece for our new monthly publication called Cultura (pick one up next time you're in the office). Her essay is called "I am Gollum," and we are blessed to have it written and read by Brittany Hartke. Enjoy!

The Hunt for Happiness
May 23, 2022 • Devin O'Donnell, Ben Tate
Today's Monday Meal is an essay called "The Hunt for Happiness," written by our very own Ben Tate. Mr. Tate teaches History, Bible, and Math at The Oaks. Drawing from the wisdom of past voices, as well as on the wisdom of latter ages, Ben Tate responds to perennial questions regarding human existence: what does it mean to be happy, and does happiness matter for a Christian? In a time where pleasure and feeling good is the highest good, his answer matters. You can find Ben Tate's essay printed in the this month's edition of Cultura, along with Megan Tallman's speech defending the resurrection of Christ.
