"Teach us how to count our days so that we may acquire a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12. . . By the words "how to count our days" we get the picture of the transitory nature of our lives. . . However, hope also resides in the following: "so that we may acquire a heart of wisdom." ... Is that not our desire ... to be wise; live wisely; pass wisdom on? ... Let's explore our beautiful earth; words of wisdom or just our own lives to acquire that "heart of wisdom."

Can Death Be Conquered?
Death is a subject that intrigues many. There are so many theories, but who actually knows about the condition of the dead and whether it can be conquered. Why not see what the author of the Bible has to say on the subject under the following article. It gives us some valid questions to consider.
CAN DEATH BE CONQUERED?
"Why do we rebel against death? The Bible explains the reason. Regarding our Creator, Jehovah God,* it says: “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their [mankind’s] heart.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) We would like to enjoy earth’s beauty forever, not for a mere 80 years or so. (Psalm 90:10) That is our heart’s desire.
Why did God put “eternity” in our hearts? Merely to frustrate us? That is unthinkable. On the contrary, God promises us that there will come a victory over death. The Bible repeatedly speaks about the elimination of death and God’s promise of everlasting life.—See the accompanying box,“Victory Over Death.” ... (See Link Below)
Jesus Christ himself clearly stated: “This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) So the battle against death is not a hopeless one. Jesus confirms, however, that only God can win that battle for us."
