(Ecc. 12:13) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Many of us have traveled far on this old road littered with pain and strife, but I doubt that even one of us would trade away this great adventure, called life. Much of life seems as if it is just some fickle game we all willingly play, but with age, we learn to quickly reject the games, with the name of blame. We all have heard it said that youth is wasted on the young, but I think not; Youth has just what it takes to start that perilous journey, for they have been generously blessed with a blind spot. Most of us spend our lives in a daily rush, hardly even taking time to think, until one day we suddenly realize just how small our world in size did shrink. Then we think perhaps we can convey our own experience to the coming generation to ease the burden of their load, but sadly, we often find they reject our advice, and cast it off, as baggage beside the road. Therefore we can take no credit, or shoulder any blame? For did we not suffer from like delusions, and were just as guilty when young, and did the very same? Now as my life comes full circle, and I can faintly hear the waves lapping on that final shore, I try not to delve too deeply as to the why of life, or into that coming unseen realm implore. For if one has kept God’s Word and lived as He would have us be, then we will have eternity to both rejoice and reflect, when at last we cross that narrow sea.
