I was going to say the part where it says "the end" but it doesn't even say that. So I guess I don't have a favorite.

The GREAT FATHER above a SHEPHERD CHIEF is.
I am His and with Him I want not.
He throws out to me a rope and the name of the rope is love
and He draws me to where the grass is green and the water is not dangerous,
and I eat and lie down and am satisfied.
Sometimes my heart is very weak and falls down
but He lifts me up again draws me into a good road.
His name is WONDERFUL .
Sometimes, it may be very soon, it may be a long long time,
He will draw me into a valley.
It is dark there, but I'll be afraid not,
for it is between those mountains that the SHEPHERD CHIEF will meet me
and the hunger that I have in my heart all through life will be satisfied.
Sometimes he makes the love rope into a whip,
but afterwards He gives me a staff to lean upon.
He spreads a table before me with all kinds of foods.
He puts His hand upon my head and all the " tired " is gone.
My cup he fills till it runs over.
What I tell is true. I lie not.
These roads that are "away ahead" will stay with me
through this life and after;
and afterwards I will go to live in the Big Teepee
and sit down with the SHEPHERD CHIEF forever.
Wahoo!!!

Ecclesiastes 1:2
"Meaningless, Meaningless" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." NIV
In relation to:
Ecclesiastes 3:1
"There is a time for everything, and a season for activity under heaven."
So many people jump immediately to Ecclesiastes 3, without examining the opening statements in the book. This is a call for realism, this is where God is trying to get us to understand that Everything matters, and Nothing matters. The glass is half full, the glass is half empty. He wants us to know that we are always where He wants us to be, whether in poverty or in splendor. He wants us to understand balanced living, but furthurmore wants us to know that He is still with us no matter if we are drowning, or climbing out of the glass. How can it be true that nothing has meaning, and yet everything has meaning? This is the greatest of all of God's miracles!

Proverbs 3:5...It illustrates why I maintain a disdain for the bible as a source of "truth".

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
