Heh. Read it all.

    What a hoot!

    My own view on what makes Man “Man”.

    Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

    “He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;”

    We are a created being – wonderfully made.
