7All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Women have a tendency to find fault in themselves. I don’t think there is a guy in the world who uses one of those magnifying mirrors and examines their face, and yet hundreds of millions of women do this every day. And theyContinue reading “19Oct 2011 Song of Solomon 4:7”

18Oct 2011 Song of Solomon 3:5
5Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Passion can take on a life of its own. It can become a driving force that just seems to take one over, compelling it to act. In those momentsContinue reading “18Oct 2011 Song of Solomon 3:5”

15Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 12:1
1Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”— We all need a goal in life, a goal worthy of a life. This goal will cost you your life. Everything you have and are willContinue reading “15Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 12:1”
14Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 11:9
9Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you judgment.

13Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 10:14b
14bNo one knows what is coming—who can tell him what will happen after him? I love the movie Forest Gump. He seems to stumble into success. He has no idea what will happen next, or why. He just lives life, giving to others, without thought of himself. He survives a hurricane by being fool-hearty. HeContinue reading “13Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 10:14b”
12Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 9:11
11I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Sometimes things just don’t seem fare. You would expectContinue reading “12Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 9:11”

When I hear about people being on death row for 20 years, I think of this verse. When I hear of TV and internet for prisoners, college education and full healthcare, myContinue reading “11Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 8:11”
10Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 7:29
29This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes. The way to find fulfillment is easy and straightforward, and yet most avoid its simple message. We want to discover some new way to be happy, some new way to find peace. So we are constantly tryingContinue reading “10Oct 2011 Ecclesiastes 7:29”
