But I’m not depressed. I have a great job, I just expanded my 12 acre farm in central KY to 32 acres, picking up lots of woods and two streams. I’m playing in my church band now.

I’m no more depressed than Paul was when he said “for me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

What I am saying is depressing to those that have only this world. To those who understand I’m not saying anything new. They know I am merely articulating the human condition without Christ.

My favorite OT book is ecclesiastes. I only read it from cover to cover when I do. It is greater wisdom than Proverbs and when followed by the even greater wisdom of the Gospels, it is very good news - and explains a lot about life.

You have the right priorities. Non spiritual people can't understand it so they attack it. Many Boomers went through life punching the clock every day and now are old and have little in the spiritual realm to show for it. If you saved your money, good for you, you now ride around in your diesel pusher paying $4 for gas and running from boredom at home. If you didn't save your money, you wake up daily wondering how you will make it through the month and having envy for the guy running around in his motor home. In the end none of this matters because it's all vanity. What are Boomers doing for God? Do they have a family that's not divorcing or addicted to drugs?

If someone works 40 years and retires, what will God think of the treasure you have in heaven?

Now the flames that are about to descend upon me, Just take a moment to weigh the gold and silver in your life against the wood and paper to find out if you are TRULY happy.

One thing for sure, we were all born dying. Unless the King comes back soon, we will die and our lives will be weighed and we will wonder why we spent so much valuable time chasing nothing that lasts. It's all vanity.

I will have to answer why I spent so much time typing posts on FR.

Just sayin.
