Aaron and Ashley are back at it again, digging into Ecclesiastes Chapter 2—and let’s just say, Solomon would’ve been the original “go big or go home” guy. Mansions? Vineyards? Pools big enough to water a forest? Check. A comedy binge followed by too much wine? Also check. But in the end? It was all just… chasing the wind.
