Ecclesiastes

     I just finished reading the book of Ecclesiastes in my daily readings.  I find this a very depressing book.  However, there is a lot of truth in it.  I think that the writer's basic point is that a life lived without God at the center of it is ultimately meaningless since only those things done with eternity in view have any lasting consequence.  Jesus talked about this when He said not to lay up treasure on earth.  Instead, we are to lay up treasure in heaven.
