Sid couldn’t leave the farm because he was busy starting a farming equipment business, so Leah took the train to the city to buy a bull. If she ...read more

    If we look at life only from the viewpoint of the natural physical man, it can get very discouraging. Life is nothing more than one big “rat race.” That is what Solomon is seeing in this first chapter of Ecclesiastes.

Then more babies are born. It rains, the sun shines for a while and then it rains again. We work, we eat, we sleep ...read more
