You Will Leave Everything
The most important day of your life will the day of your death. Think about that. On that day, nothing else will matter except what you have done for God and where you are going. Your house, your car, your money, your sports will mean nothing on that day. You will be leaving time and entering into eternity. Meditate on that breathtaking moment. In the exhale of one breath, you will leave everything you love. Your wedding ring. Your spouse. Your loved ones. Your vehicle. Your money. Everything. Tonight, God could say to you, "This night your soul is required of you." Let such sobering thoughts consume you. Let them drive you to use your life for what matters, to reach out to the unsaved and make a big dent in this sinful world.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
You're correct Kristina. If your self employed / own a small business you've been paying double into SSA all your life. And NO, you don't get back any more for paying in double. Same calculations used for your monthly SS payment as anyone whose been on a W-2 their whole life. grrrrrrrrrr...
Your grandmother vs you.
Same genes. Different food. One generation apart.
She rendered lard. You buy a cooking spray with dimethylpolysiloxane listed third.
She boiled the bones for eight hours. You buy a collagen sachet with a picture of someone doing yoga on it.
She ate the egg yolk. You bought the low-fat version that quietly removed it.
She fermented because preservation required it. You buy a probiotic because the sterilised packaging doesn't contain what the fermented food did.
She went outside because life required it. You have a vitamin D capsule and a SAD lamp for the depression that arrived when the outside stopped.
She put tallow on dry skin. You have a seventeen-step skincare routine and a ceramide serum.
She sat at a table with other people. You have a delivery app and a government Minister for Loneliness.
She was hungry and ate. You have a calorie tracker with haptic feedback.
She had none of the products.
She had none of the deficiencies the products address.
The deficiencies arrived with the products.
The products arrived after the advice removed what she had.
@ScottPresler I appreciate the work you do.
You do it because you love our country.
Clearly, those in the majority do not.
Because, not a whole hell of a lot has changed.
One thing is clear. President Trump is going max in his last term. He is going after the difficult to impossible tasks that have long plagued the U.S. geopolitically. He is not guided by polls or talking heads on the news or social media. Panama Canal, Venezuela, Iran, China etcโฆ
History will judge the results, but on some level you gotta respect his commitment to his conviction that he is acting in the best interest of America.
