I started writing a blog about the day to day life in the Teen Challenge Programme. Out of that came this slant on Ecclesiastes 3. Hope you enjoy
a time to rise,
a time to shave,
a time to read,
a time to pray,
a time to eat,
a time to clean,
a time to learn,
a time to praise,
a time to mix,
a time to play,
a time to work
guidance time today
more time to eat
more time to play
more time to learn,
more time to pray,
a time to sleep,
thankful for each day.
