Ch. 3 of Eccl. is so eloquent. I looked up a little history, because the passage about stones was a little weird to me, and my mind immediately jumped to stoning people. I don't know why. The encyclopedia explained that during King Solomon's times, when war was coming to a region, the people would throw stones and boulders on their fields to keep an ivading army from being able to use their fields in their absence (if they were driven out for a time). When the invading army fled, they would gather the stones back up so that they could use the fields for their livestock/crops. I guess, perhaps, because my heart is so angry today, that I was wanting to throw some stones myself.

Don't throw rocks!! My momma beat the mess outta me one time for that!!

Prayers going up for you my friend. The door has opened for a reason, go to it and you will grow in a way that you need

I mostly don't listen to gospel or Christian rock, mostly I listen to Christian talk radio maybe I am weird. I do enjoy rock though, that is what is played at our church....not the old timey gospel hymns....although they are very cool.

We did have an awesome opportunity this afternoon that was loads of fun! My DD and DS take guitar lessons from our worship leader at church. Today he invited us to come by the recording studio where they are working on their first album....i took DS and his buddy. We got to go into the actual recording studio and then into the sound room to watch and listen to the drummer and the violinist lay down their tracks. Really a great thing for the boys to see

Yeah, I know, mine did too, still would, if she were still here. It's just been one of those days where you feel like you are being attacked from every angle and are cornered, This too shall pass.....

Im thinking some eschatological propechy was filled this week. With all the fish and birds dying, we had more in KY die.

I was really intrigued by the randomness of those events...both the fish and the birds....and in different places? Definitely some meaning in that.
So James you think it may be a sign? Anyone want to explore this idea?

Definitely, especially the fish. In revelations it speaks of one third of the fish in the sea dying. The birds dying is no coincidence I found a map showing where it had all taken place. Its happened in Britain, South America, New Zealand, and all of the South. Its really odd and I've had a feeling since New Years that 2011 would be interesting....there is another thing that may come to pass with Obama soon.. WOuld anyone like to know?

But also tell me more abut the birds and fish please. What died where? I never heard abut any other places where there was a big die off except in the states....but I also have not been keeping an ear on the news.
