So, What's It All About: Time...? (2)
Ecclesiastes chapter 3 asks us if life, with all its different seasons, is meaningless and a burden, or whether there is a purpose to it all.
So, What's It All About?
Is life really a mist, a chasing after the wind, meaningless? The writer of Ecclesiastes asks this question. But he also has an answer.
