| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on? Alex here, and I want to share with you how wisdom leads to a better life. |
| 0:05.6 | Tonight, we're talking about this very topic from Ecclesiastes chapter 7 at our house church. |
| 0:11.4 | I'm very excited to give the message, but I thought I'd share it with you here first. |
| 0:16.8 | Do you remember MapQuest? You might be too young to know what that is, but when I was in ninth grade, the iPhone came out. |
| 0:23.8 | And before that, we would use something called MapQuest. So say a friend would invite me over to play football after school. |

| 1:22.9 | The MapQuest is, the MapQuest of our day is lost. |
| 1:27.3 | Those papers that we used to hold and fold up, they were so accurate, so detailed. |
| 1:31.4 | Now we have too much access. |
| 1:33.8 | We have too much distractions, too much information, and so we still find ourselves getting lost. |
| 1:39.9 | In Ecclesiastas chapter 7 verses 1 through 6, this is precisely what Solomon says. |
