Pastor Mark here, meaningless life. gift of any amount. Thank you.

Bastermark here, meaningless life series continues today. Number 17, there's only 18, so

we're coming near the end, kids. Today we're in Ecclesiasties, chapter 11,

through chapter 12, verse 8.

Message title is, threading your needle.

And start with the story, there's a place that my family and I have really enjoyed getting away over the years when we used to live up in Washington.

And over on the west side of the state which is where most people are familiar

it's marine layer and heavy clouds and lots of rain and dark days and you're far north and the winters are long and that's what they're in right now.

There's been lots of winds and rain and people without power and on the eastern half of

the state it's actually quite different.

I actually just got off the phone before I jumped on with you to talk to a friend of mine,

some friends of mine who live over there.

And what happens is the marine layer

and the clouds come down from Canada

and they dump all the water in the Seattle area

and they dump the rain up in the mountains and higher elevations.
