I recently finished a short story but I am not pleased with it, it is boring and vain. I was going to call it 'Theresa Cleans Up Her Mess," or "Theresa At The Mall." Basically, the characters eat and go shopping, it is dull and boring, the heroines eat yummy food, then throughout the story i describe there clothes, the Bible speaks against gluttony and vanity, there is a lot of vanity, clothe, shoes, hair styles and and hairpieces, jewelry, purses, etc. and they have chicken food with dessert, cheesecake and ice cream. I have a love-hate relationship with food, I am struggling to loose weight, I have lost some pounds but I may have gained it back.

@waterlilyoflife, I enjoy listening to audio stories on YouTube. What was going to be the outcome of your story? What was your plot? :doldrums:

It's not a short story, It's called life....

Concordant OT Ecc 1:13 “It is an experience of evil Elohin [God] has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.”

Ecc 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity5769 in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

H5769 עלם עולם ‛ôlâm ‛ôlâm
o-lawm', o-lawm'

From H5956; properly concealed, that is, the vanishing point; generally time out of mind

Translation: So God makes everything proper and appropriate for His Plan, but He has put obscurity in their hearts.. so that, or in order that they cannot know or understand what it is that He is doing to them in this human existence we call life.

Enjoy the ride.... of Life

There's certainly potential -- the inner conflict between indulgence and responsibility, between self love and self loathing. Between the outer self and the inner self. It's definitely worth exploring.
