	Do you ever feel that there’s got to be more to life than meets the eye? Living, working, earning, saving, spending...is this what it’s all about? Or is there some deeper meaning and purpose to our time on earth? That’s the question which Ecclesiastes asks us today. Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity! (Ecclesiastes 1:2) Fr. Tom


	An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit. (Pliny the Younger)

CALL MY BLUFF - For the holiday month of August here are some bits of trivia for you to take a look at. All you have to do is decide whether they are true or false:

*Lots of people died in the Bible but no one ever committed suicide.

*Some biblical scholars believe that Aramaic (the language of the ancient Bible) did not contain an easy way to say “many things” and used a term which has come down to us as 40. This means that when the bible -- in many places -- refers to “40 days”, they meant many days.

Are they true?
