part 2 of #6 sounds pretty suspicious, but it's ok

I think we left Saul trying to capture David, even though David had done the heroic thing and just saved a city from Philistine take-over, but Saul's egomaniac me-power was more important to him. Just when he aaaaaaaallllllmooooooost caught him, an urgent message arrived that the philistines were attacking some where else and he, the king, was needed. Now for his big dilemma: David his rival, patiently waiting successor, or the enemy of his nation the Philistines. Hard decision. While you're trying to guess, reminds me of how hard the government works, and the amount invested in investigating YESHA people as "possible rebels, whatever" instead of using all the country's power against our real enemy the Arab terrorists. Sharon now is busy trying to take over every independent mind in the Likud; his power is the most important thing.
Now what will King Saul decide? His ego or his country? Tough choice when you're a lame duck king. Well, hard to believe, but he chose his country. Kol hakavod, but too little too late, and his kingship didn't last too long, and his children were out of power.
25- That's why David wrote: "be strong and let your heart be filled with courage; all of you waiting for G-d." Wow! that's some happy ending. but it's just a chapter in a long book

Kohelet, finishing off the second chapter
Strangely constructed sentence. Should we enjoy food or not? The answer is that we should if it's the fruit of our labors. We should work for what we have. Getting back to previous questions, how much do we owe our children? Are we doing them a favor if we give them everythign? according to this, no. Food you grow and cook has a special taste. The enjoyment is permanent, sipuk,
brings me to Yaakov, how he's like two different people, the nebich who lived with his parents and the businessman, leader, patriarch once he was on his own. On Shabbat I ate at neighbors where we discussed the parsha and this difference was one of the subjects, so the fact that it was on my mind, was not from the shiur this morning.
One shouldn't get into debt for pleasure, and one shouldn't save too much. Enjoy what you have, don't suffer for tomorrow. sameach b'chelko be happy with what you have. That's being rich. The talent of enjoying what you have is a gift from G-d. Man works for himself, the work itself is the gift. In Beireishit I, 11 G-d created the trees so that the entire tree would be the fruit, edible, but somehow it came out of the ground differently, that the fruit would grow from the tree.
Shmuel alef, XVI, 1, G-d told Shmuel that Saul had to be deposed/replaced. He was a disaster as a king. Shmuel refused, telling G-d that he was afraid of Saul, that Saul would kill him. Now really, he was afraid of a man and not of G-d? That's why he died young, big sin. It's like the people who are terrified to wear a sports jacket at a black tie dinner, like they'll be struck by lightening--dead for such a sin, but they have no problem eating traif at the same dinner. Then G-d had to give him very specific instructions to help him out.
Not like David, Nachshon decended from Peretz and those daring women.
One who's too cautious saving and not enjoying what he has, big mistake.

Chapter 3 the famous "time for.."
We have to find G-d no matter what's going on, happy or sad, sick or healthy. It's all part of life and we have to see the good. Contrasts, one's needed for the other.
Everything has a time.
Shmuel Bet V, 20, the root, peh, resh tzadi, meaning to push out, jump out used twice, once for winning a war and once when Uza extended his had to grab and was punished with death.
