Oh, I know. Here's another map. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=201817256339889828327.0004991bca25af104a22b

http://www.wsmv.com/news/22655540/detail.html I live in Tennessee. We had the same thing happen here almost a year ago. They think they were dying because of contact electrocution on the power lines.

Yeah, I know, mine did too, still would, if she were still here. It's just been one of those days where you feel like you are being attacked from every angle and are cornered, :barnie This too shall pass.....

Ch. 3 of Eccl. is so eloquent. I looked up a little history, because the passage about stones was a little weird to me, and my mind immediately jumped to stoning people. I don't know why. The encyclopedia explained that during King Solomon's times, when war was coming to a region, the people...

Wanna, you got it girl, I will definitely pray for you. If you weren't exactly what was needed, this door would not be opening.

:yuckyuck Someone please make this mental image go away!

I can certainly relate to that, but the absolutely wonderful thing is, so can Jesus, so can Paul. When I was a new believer, brand spanking new, and didn't know the Word as I should, I ran across a woman who was an atheist, and did I ever meet my match. I said a silent prayer to God during...

Wannabefree, all I can say is PRAISE GOD!!!

So, I am sitting here this morning after re-reading Eccl. 1 and 2 and just letting my mind wander, pondering on the purpose of life, which is very much like King Solomon was doing, and a few things that I overlooked before stood out to me. He keeps saying "under the sun", and I realized that...

v. 24-26 seems to say, at least to me, that God gives his followers a spirit of contentment in their work, whereas a sinner would only see that they are giving their labor away. This speaks to me about perspective that the "good before God" have.

I have NKJV, NCV, NASB, KJV, and HCSB. Of all of these versions, I always come back to the NKJV. The NCV that I have is a devotional Bible with commentary by Lucado. It is written in the most plain english imaginable and is actually the identical wording as the children's Bibles are written...

I completely understand about not wanting to replace your Bible. I have one that I have used to the point that it is literally falling apart, but, it has all my notes in it, all my highlights, questions, etc. I hope that when I die, my children will take it and gain some insight, not only from...

Bee, you're welcome! Hope you find what you are looking for. I have been trying to decide whether or not to invest in an Archaelogical Bible. It has tons of historical information in it pertaining to the time frame of when the events occurred, but I don't care for the NIV. Do any of you guys...

Okay, nevermind. I found the one I was thinking of, and it is not chronological. It is this one which a friend gave me many moons ago. I'm sorry. I use NKJV, and have never cracked this one open. I have so many Bibles laying around, and I know at one time I had a chrono, but I give Bibles...

Bee, I think I have one laying around here somewhere (unless I have already given it away and don't remember doing it). I will look and see if I can find it, if so, you are welcome to have it.

Maybe I am just a strange person after all. I don't find Eccl. to be depressing at all. When I read about a great man of the Bible who faces the same down-trodden spirit I sometimes feel myself, it makes me really appreciate my Creator who included the good, the bad and the ugly in his Holy...

Exactly! Inspired by God. God, working through us, quietly listening for His direction, His next move. And that brings us directly to verse 1 of chapter 6. I cannot count on both hands and feet the number of times I have ignored this verse. Knowing when someone is sinning, and walking away...

Sorry for being so silent on this study, but I had to catch up :) Verse 1 stands up and screams to me, as well as verse 7. The reminder to stand fast in the liberty given us by Christ is as much needed in this day and time when so much emphasis is put on what we do as opposed to the condition...

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I know, I read through the whole thread before I joined the study. That is one of the things that I appreciated about this thread. You weren't excluded because of your view :D
