Passage of the Day - May 14, 2011

Ecclesiastes 7:4

  ⁴The mind of the wise
         is in the house of mourning,
         While the mind of fools

         Is in the house of pleasure.

The house of mourning is filled with people who care about someone worth morning over.  The house of pleasure is filled with people who do not care about anyone else but themselves and no one worth mourning over.  Someone driven by love is found in the house of mourning.  Someone driven by their next “high” is found in the house of mourning.  Someone with purpose can be found in the house of morning, but never in the house of pleasure.
