A lady in the store I stopped by this morning made a whole scene about not being able to use her SNAP benefits for soda and candy anymore - then, she launched into a lecture about how it’s “discrimination” to not let people buy what they want - and then proceeded to tell the cashier how those who are on SNAP are the ones keeping the economy going….
She walked out with her bags of groceries that cost her a grand total of ZERO dollars…and drove away in her BRAND NEW JEEP…
In short - she is in there using MY tax dollars to buy all of her food and crap - is wholly ungrateful for any of it - and then drives off in a car that is nicer than mine.
My fatigue, my rage…is at an all time high. I am fucking fuming. And all I feel like I can do is go back to work and keep paying my taxes and scream into the void about it.
The entire system is broken - every single piece and part is beyond repair. It’s such a demoralizing way to feel every day.
Anyway, I hate her…and everyone like her…with the fire of a thousand suns.
Ok, rant over
For more than 20 years I put my hands up in celebration on the gridiron.
Now, I put my hands up to the One that gave me all my talents and abilities — the King of my life, Jesus Christ.
I’ve never claimed to be perfect, but my aim is for the direction of my life to honor Christ and I pray my faith increases.
So I do want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, whether you’re solo, with family, or friends, and if you haven’t done so, put your faith in Him who can save, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
