First last and security deposits come up to $6,000 for a renter. And yet the northerners keep coming here, as do the undocumented from all over earth. The stock market keeps going up, real estate values go up exponentially. I am dumbfounded at the extreme contrast that is occurring. It is way beyond my being able to make rational sense of it all.

And that I need keep my own focus above all that, and on our Lord, awaiting his soon (Quick ) return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have created for ourselves a social dichotomy in which we find ourselves living and not understanding why. This is the confusion in which we live, and since God is not the author of confusion we can blame no one other than ourselves. Just my thoughts, nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no excuse for sure. Yet I do believe the evil one is indeed at work and will deceive us if it is possible. Plus, if each of us does not repent of sin against God He will turn us individually and I think corporately over, - to our own strong delusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been very helpful, to me at least. Continue on if you desire. For me I think it is time to take a rest, just absorb, and ask of God where does this fit in to what you will have of me today?

That pumped up the benefit amount that would eventually be paid out to the seller of their own SS number. Seems there was no cross reference of number with name of contributor in the SS system. Very weird. SS retirement is indeed a Ponzi scheme. Fortunately for me I am at the top of the scheme and not the bottom. It pays out an amazing amount of money on the the original investment into it. It's better than nothing, does it have flaws yup, alot things do in government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
