SEVEN AGES OF MAN

Someone described the seven ages of man in these ways: spills, drills, thrills, bills, ills, pills, wills.

Spills - Infancy.

Drills - Childhood. We get drilled about doing this and that.

Thrills - Teen years perhaps. I'm not sure they are all that thrilling, however.

Bills - Adult living. Work. Marriage. Raising children. And lots of bills.

Ills - When our health starts to decline.

Pills - One for arthritis. One for high blood pressure. One for this and two for that.

Wills - I haven't made mine yet.

The inspired writer of the book of Ecclesiastes wrote, "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven."
