(no subject)
some stuff i read last nite that really rang true more than ever, and gave me some comfort
"all of life is far more boring than words could ever say. our eyes and our ears are never satisfied with what we see and hear. everything that happens has happened before; nothing is new, nothing under the sun." - ecclesiastes 1: 8-9 (so true...everything is overrated.)
"with all my wisdom, i tried to understand everything that happens here on earth. and God has made this so hard for us to do." -1: 13 (heh...the answer is in the question)
"the more you know, the more you hurt; the more you understand, the more you suffer." - 1: 18 (amen.)
"then i thought about everything i had done, including the hard work, and it was simply chasing the wind. nothing on earth is worth the trouble." - 2: 11 (word.)
"respect and obey God! daydreaming leads to a lot of senseless talk." -5: 7 (AMEN)
"we struggle just to have enough to eat, but we are never satisfied." - 6: 7
"Keep to the middle of the road. you can do this if you truly respect God......no one in this world always does right." - 7: 18 & 20
"some people are too lazy to fix a leaky roof--then the house falls in." - 10: 18 (i think i felt that one the most.)
lastly..."respect and obey God! this is what life is all about. God will judge everything we do, even what is done in secret, whether good or bad."-12: 13-14
nothing like a hit of ecclesiastes to remind you you're a blind idiot and to pull your head out of your ass. just thought i'd share my 'revelations.'
