Famous for Scrubbing Toilets
from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
Since everything you have is already passing away, why hold onto it? Since you can't control the weather, why worry about? Since everything you do is vanishing breath, why not do it? Yes, it's true, you can't add a single hour to your life span by worrying. But look a the bright side: if God cares for the prairie grass of Minnesota's rolling plains, which today is alive and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he care for you, O ye of little faith? Yes, all is still vanity for both the Preacher and the Gospel of Matthew, but don't worry. You can still become famous for scrubbing toilets. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Ecclesiastes 11.
