Date: May 13th, 2012 6:22 PM Author: Shimmering Swashbuckling Foreskin Bawdyhouse I'm not a Christian, but the service will be and I'm giving the eulogy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1947843&forum_id=2#20684453) |
Date: May 13th, 2012 6:23 PM Author: harsh nofapping stock car pretty sure the eulogy is not a reading from scripture. unless this is like the funeral of an old testament prophet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1947843&forum_id=2#20684458) |

If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident. |

American 20th-century novelist Thomas Wolfe wrote: "[O]f all I have ever seen or learned, that book seems to me the noblest, the wisest, and the most powerful expression of man’s life upon this earth — and also the highest flower of poetry, eloquence, and truth. I am not given to dogmatic judgments in the matter of literary creation, but if I had to make one I could say that Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known, and the wisdom expressed in it the most lasting and profound."[1] |

Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. 5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. 6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. 7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. 8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. 9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. 11 No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them. |
