The big picture. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted, a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

CG, Thanks for your sharp observation. I'm afraid we can't blame MM. I was a little slow posting the remainder of the Bible verse. So I'm the one.

Oh, by the way, Brian, when you first posted this blog it contained none of the bible verse. Just the words "The Big Picture," which was quite confusing. I didn't have a clue what you were trying to say. The verse didn't come in for at least a day on my screen. So, when people started responding, I was completely mystified. Then the text appeared and it made sense. Another MM glitch.

Interesting Brian..Very Smart!! Talking about big picture..I should know!!! I like it and I agree..Acceptance and Faith are the key.. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: He means of this diversity of time for two causes first to declare that there is nothing in this world perpetual: next to teach us not to be grieved, if we have not all things at once according to our desires, neither enjoy them so long as we would wish.

This was adapted directly to the song Titled "Turn, Turn, Turn" and made famous by Judy Collins and The Byrds. They added one line and a few words but otherwise took it directly out of the King James Version of the Bible. BP

OK I am struggling to make this slow brain remember the song that has so many of these words in it. i know i know it. But... it escapes me. These are a wonderful picture of the big picture. if only they were so easy to remember. Lisa

Hah, friend.... Me thinks not. Big time. Me thinks you have an ulterior motive for sure.....
Sweet man that you are--you are nonetheless very, very, very, very clever indeed. Much more here to your blog than meets the eye--or, most especially, the heart. Meets--for those of us smart enough to figure it out--the brain and the soul.....with or without the Devils' help......

That, my dear, is no answer at all. You must have posted for a reason....Surely you weren't just reading your Bible and felt compelled to post what you were reading.....
As for the "thanks for stopping by," Brian--me thinks you're being most deceitful. Come on, now....do tell... We'd all love to know for sure....
