Soul Food: Week of September 15, 2024

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values …

Sunday: Do not rely on your own understanding of life & death because the Almighty’s idea of your ideal fate are not always yours … let alone His only begotten Son’s, who (in Garden of Gethsemane) could have done without His crucifixion. Ecclesiastes paraphrased

Monday: Vanity of vanities. All things are vanity.

Tuesday: What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun.

Wednesday: In much wisdom there is much sorrow; whoever increases knowledge increases grief.

Thursday: In the judgment place I saw wickedness & wickedness also in the seat of justice.

Friday: The lot of mortals & the lot of beasts is the same lot; The one dies as well as the other. Both have the same life breath. Human beings have no advantage over beasts, [so] all is vanity

Saturday: And, [so], I saw that there is nothing better for mortals than to rejoice in their work, for this is their lot.
