For all you calorie/carb counters

[Pete Geither]

Reading through the local obits tonight had 14 people passing on. We are a small community in Western Pa. Of the 14 who died, 3 were over 90 years old. 5 were over 80, 5 were in their late 70's and one was 54 years old. I wonder how many of the first 13 counted carbs, exercised daily, didn't smoke or tried to live a "healthy' lifestyle? My contention is that when your time is up,,, it's up, no matter what your approach.

Ecclesiastes loves ya, man.

1 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Preface

2 Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher,
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What do people gain from all the toil
at which they toil under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun goes down,
and hurries to the place where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south,
and goes around to the north;
round and round goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
7 All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they continue to flow.
8 All things are wearisome;
more than one can express;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
or the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
"See, this is new"?
It has already been,
in the ages before us.
11 The people of long ago are not remembered,
nor will there be any remembrance
of people yet to come
by those who come after them.

I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a chase after wind.
15
What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is missing cannot be supplied.
16
Though I said to myself, "Behold, I have become great and stored up wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem, and my mind has broad experience of wisdom and knowledge";
17
yet when I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly, I learned that this also is a chase after wind.
18
For in much wisdom there is much sorrow, and he who stores up knowledge stores up grief.
