Ed Welch looks at some well-known words from Ecclessiastes and wonders if we’ve been missing what they really mean.

    When God Plants an Acorn, He Means an Oak

    We stood together on the crest of a hill, a gentle breeze rustling the meadow around our feet. The fields ran gently downward until they met a creek that gurgled happily in its course.
