Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are of course perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!
God bless

Feasting instead of fasting!
Some times we get the timings or priorities all mixed up . Here is a case of people partying like there is no tomorrow when they ought to be mourning. The Preacher, in his remarkable presentation of contrasts, most notably writes there is “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance” but you need divine wisdom to figure out the appropriate response for a particular situation.
This calls for considerable sensitivity, a sense of the occasion, even an understanding of our destiny.
Let’s be tuned in!
