What is currently on your mind?

God's battle is with powers and principalities greater than us. We're just along for the ride.

All went pretty well with my sister at her appointment today. Still very touch and go but she has returned to her belief in God. The problem is her auditory hallucinations at this moment and the constant medication adjustments. On a sweeter note, she got remarried to her husband Monday. She insisted on divorce in her last episode with psychosis. The doctor was very pleased they did that. Most people are not so lucky.

Yes we all like to chew on them

Mine don’t chew on them. But I only get certain plants that are not so attractive to them unless it’s catnip. I also scan for things that are poisonous to animals.

That's an honest admission and understandable when there's a lot of years ahead. I have similar thoughts and don't embrace the let's die and go to heaven bandwagon. I have too much to live for and a lot more to do. I hope you'll find peace in the midst of the uncertainty and make the most of each day. No one knows the hour. Do you all you can to enjoy the moments and entrust the rest to the Lord and His keeping.

I also wish that the score for what evil has been done on mass scale could be settled prior to the end.

I learned a new word today while describing someone. Plutomania.

"Hey, hey, HEY: Did you see that, guys? Plutomania is a thing."

"Uh, boss..."

"It's about time I got some respect."

"Uh, boss..."

"Shhh. He's not going to like it."

"Not going to like what?"

"Uh, boss: plutomania is about getting rich."

"You mean it's about money?"

"Uh, yes, boss."

"Close enough."

Well, the above is what was on my mind a moment ago (and thanks for the inspiration; it was a mood boost). What's been on my mind all day is going ahead and retiring. I wanted to hold out a few more years, but I'm tired. Things at work are worse and I don't see them improving. Part of it is very likely the fact I'm not a young man anymore. If only the prospect didn't scare me.

1. an abnormal craving for wealth.

The root cause of plutomania, cupidity and gluttony is thinking of oneself in isolation from others or as member of elite peer groups that define what we should want. Please remember we are members of larger communities with many kinds of people, on whom we depend and who depend on us.

Plutomania is excessive or abnormal desire for wealth, the abundance of valuable financial assets or physical possessions which can be converted into a form that can be used for transactions. This includes the core meaning as held in the originating old English word weal, which is from an Indo-Europ

I’d say that includes status as well.

I really think evil is winning at least in this world. I still consider that bad.

 

[timothyu]

As long as some still see that, we're ok.
Its when no one sees it as abnormal any longer, that we have a problem.

Wow, just wow.

Fantastic.
