The word interpreted as "meaningless " in ecclesiasties actually means something like " morning mist". What he's saying is that life and everything in life is only here for a moment. Time is a weird thing when you try to understand it. We talk about the future and the past, but the future doesn't exist at any point and the past is gone. So all you actually have to work with is the present. I do believe we were put here to glorify God and encourage others. How we glorify God isn't as easy to answer as you might think. Sure it might be in church but it also might be painting a picture or making a child smile, or a million other things. What's important is that those things be done from love.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Hyperbole...look up the definition. I know. I just think there's an amazing number of ants. That many of any animal, even when tiny, is impressive. The biomass of ants is phenomenal. Keith I have way more respect for ants than I do the vast majority of people, but when I die, I don't want to go where the ants end up going. I want to go where the dogs go.
