Ecclesiastes 1:12-14
I, the Teacher, when king over Israel in Jerusalem, applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to human beings to be busy with. I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
*      *      *     *      *       *      *      *
Today is my birthday.  I am 60.  It is one of those birthdays that doesn't slide by in the wind like most do.  It gives one pause.  I have a friend who said to me when I turned 40 that everything is gravy after that.  I think that is closer to the truth than the "Never trust anyone over 30" button that I wore when I was 20.  At 10, I rode a birthday pony and had no idea that at 30 I would be rolling around with glue and glitter and 4 years olds at VBS.  At 50, I was told I was as wise as I would ever be and still be fit enough to do something with what I knew.  Yep, life does feel alot like chasing after wind or our tail and we end up making our own wind.  But God - how I love those two words - But God, has given us Jesus to follow and it is in Jesus'  name we are born anew everyday.  
*      *      *       *       *      *      *     *
Thanks to you, Lord, it's all good. Amen.
