It's all just a vapor

 Well now...it sure has been a long time since my last post here.  Life is indeed an adventure and you just never know what will happen next.

I am now facilitating (God is leading) a small group of men with my church in Bible study and group discussion.  We recently finished a study of the book of Ecclesiastes and one of the biggest things I take away from it is that this life under the sun is only temporary...a vapor...a puff of smoke.  This is a comforting thought with all the bad stuff that keeps happening in this world.

I've heard it said before about this world being a cesspool...what?!?  Oh yes.  If you stop and think about it and let it all settle in, this world is a sin infected cesspool.  It's ugly.  It is indeed the world God did NOT mean for us to live.

So here we are, living in a mess.  Fortunately, it's not permanent.  It's only temporary.  As the writer of Ecclesiastes expresses, do the best you can with what you have and enjoy it as much as you can.  Yes, sometimes the bad guys win.  It's only a vapor.
