and seriously, American Idiot is so NOT a nice song. Green Day MUST have better songs. pfft.

anyway, i find this a rather random post.

...

hmm...

"If any of the Bible writers could have written for Our Journey, I think King Solomon might have been the best candidate.

I quote the King, "Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless. Everything is meaningless." I'm sure he was talking about the Elements of Research class i had in graduate school. the one for which we had to go to the library and find out what refrigerators and gas pumps looked like in the 1950s.

If you take time to read through the book of Eccelesiastes, the one in which Solomon wailed on about meaninglessness, you'll see that David's son had some issues. He was the wisest man in the world, but he found wisdom to be meaningless. he was richer than Bill Gates, but he said wealth was meaningless. He built more big buildings than Donald Trump, but in the end, he decided it was all... you know... meaningless.

On and on Solomon complained - detailing enough meaningless items to make anyone miserable.

So, what's the point? If everything is so meaningless, where is the value of life?

Have you ever talked to someone who is well-educated but unhappy? Rich but sad? Talented but depressed? Beautiful but dejected?

What makes people this way? They have discovered the truth Solomon is describing: Life without God - no matter how seemingly valuable - leads to emptiness.

Flip over to the end of Ecclesiastes, where you read this hopeful verse, "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth" (12:1), and this one, "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man" (v.13).

Without God at the center, life indeed lacks meaning. With Him there, it has purpose. Let's give meaning to every day, every class, every relationship by letting God be right in the middle of them all."

i agree.

keep on.

Oliver James - Greatest Story Ever Told

Thank you for this moment
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could've prayed for
There you are

If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad, I'm your man

And if I lived a thousand years
You know, I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
That day.

But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you tonight

I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in your eyes
But I feel the rhythm of your body
Close to mine

Its the way we touch that sends me
Its a way we'll always be
Your kiss, your pretty smile you know I'd die for
Oh baby, you're all I need

And if I lived a thousand years
You know, I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
That day

But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?

And if I lived a thousand years
You know, I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
That day

But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight?

later, toony
