LAST NIGHT ON EARTH

The more you take, the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have, the more it takes today...
She already knows it hurts
Much learning earns you much trouble. The more you know, the more you hurt. Ecclesiastes 1:18 MSG
Well she don't care what it's worth...
​She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth...
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
The living at least know something, even if it's only that they're going to die. But the dead know nothing and get nothing. Ecclesiastes 9:5 MSG
 
The only earthly good men and women can look forward to is to eat and drink well and have a good time—compensation for the struggle for survival these few years God gives us on earth. Ecclesiastes 8:15 MSG
You gotta to give it away
You gotta to give it away
You gotta to give it away
Jesus: "Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given backーgiven back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way." Luke 6:37-38 MSG
