ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE DATES Ecclesiastes 3 verse 2 "A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which was planted." Have you ever been to an airport or train station? Do you remember seeing those big boards that announced the arrival and departure times of the planes and trains? Have you ever read birth announcements in the newspaper? How about the obituaries? These articles give the birth arrival times and the death departure times of people. Have you.
