Today we finish up the chapter as we discuss God’s time, being humble, meek, and lowly, encouragement to not be overwhelmed, the danger of accepting bribes, re-incarnation, and more!

In the 1st part of today’s chapter, Repentance, a time for everything, planting at the right time and with dedication and preparation, Johnny Appleseed, knowing what time it is, and Dancing.

Finishing up today’s chapter, we talk about things you can’t buy, the value of friendship, who best friend we can have is, and how death is our enemy.

In today’s chapter, we start out with the difference in fun and true joy. That it is really, a “wonderful world” and the benefits of laughter.
That slavery has not been abolished, and where we see servant/slaves today.
The connection between relationships and marriages with Solomon, and the current Trump-Kushner.

In today’s chapter we dive into the first chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon talks about how generations come and go, the fact that everyday some die and more are born God’s life cycles, “hate speech”, and The One True Faith.

In today’s podcast, we discuss the right kind of woman, what road we are called to, not to yoke yourself with an unbeliever. How we are stewards, filling our schedules and redeeming the time, because time is precious. That outward beauty is fleeting and that the beauty of the heart is what will last.
