THE WORDS OF THE WISE MAN
“Of making many books there is no end.” The man who wrote these words ought to know; we are told Solomon was responsible for three thousand proverbs, as well as one thousand and five songs. Interestingly, God used a writer to record for us the truth of the unendingness of some things in life; for no one is more conscious of this than a writer, there always seems to be another book or article to be written.
IT’S LIKE LOOKING OUT OVER THE OCEAN-NO END IN SIGHT
Life is an ongoing experience in which we never seem to catch up. There is always something ahead of us, and once we catch it, something else takes its place in the forefront. We need to reconcile ourselves to the fact that with many things in life there is no end in view. Therefore I’ve taken as one of my philosophical tidbits, “Do the next thing.” This is the only way I can keep what sanity I have left in this fast-paced world. Let’s face it, most of what we deem as permanent is temporal at best. Most things are not nailed down!

LONG DISTANCE RUNNERS ALWAYS KEEP BACK SOME ENERGY IN STORE
Life is a long-distance race; therefore we need to learn to pace ourselves. As my older son so aptly says, “We’re to be in it for the long-haul.”
