And a season for every activity under heaven:
- A time to be born 👶🍼 and a time to die 💀;
- A time to plant 🌱 and a time to uproot;
- A time to kill off forcefully and a time to heal 😷;
- A time to tear down and a time to build;
- A time to weep 😢 and a time to laugh 😃;
- A time to grieve 😢 and a time to dance 💃;
- A time to scatter stones about and a time to gather them up;
- A time to embrace 🤗 and a time to hold back;
- A time to search and a time to abandon s earch;
- A time to keep and a time to discard;
- A time to tear 💔 and a time to mend 💝;
- A time to be silent and a time to speak
- A time to love 💓 and a time to hate 😠*;
- A time for war and a time for peace....
He has also set eternity into the hearts of people,
Yet they cannot grasp what God has done
From beginning to end. --(King Solomon?); Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11
*We are called to truly hate what is evil or false; not to arbitrarily hate other people.

When reading these beautiful words from Ecclesiastes, I often think of the night years ago when a public-radio station featured a reading of the whole book. Thanks for the reminder.
It is "haunting" book, I would say; lovely in places, but "haunting" because of the author's sense of regret.
Also, I think FB had me falling behind on my blogging contacts. Blogging seems to go a little "deeper",for the most part.
Facebook's a great way to re-connect with people (I read posts from my 92-year-old former high school choir teacher), but most of what I see on FB is drivel.
Yeah, that's true, like "I just had Prego spaghetti for lunch..."
