September 24--The Mystery of Time

On the other side of pain, there is still love.  --Madeline L'Engle

    Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV):

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

    I'd like to get rid of "kill," "weep," "hate" and "war." Alas, those are still in our consciousness.

    Some day...

Arlie's son glued a golf ball to a tee
and added it to the marker.
My brother LOVED golf.
