The text along the bottom reads: "There must be more to life. In a world filled with so much pleassure we feel so much disatisfaction. Ecc 2:1""I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. "Laughter," I said, "is foolish. And what does pleasure accomplish?" I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives. I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well—the delights of the heart of man. I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me. I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless." Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

hey battle,
i just was walking down dundas on friday, and i saw this one. i didn't realize it was hiding there, but i recognized your style from the sidewalk and was like "Hey! cool!" I was on my way to go and lead worship over at nine20 and when I read the verse "There must be more than this..." all of a sudden, the song "Consuming Fire" (There must be more than this... SPirit of God come breathe within... etc) came to my mind. It's a song that's been on my heart for the past... month? And it was so perfect for that evening, leading the worship, we just kept coming back to that song.
