Ah, nothing lasts forever in this system. We're all short timers.

I've been out of work since late January. Got me a bit frantic in the beginning.. but after a couple months, I've learned to not let it eat at me. I know I won't go homeless or hungry. ..so knowing that, I'm not stressed about it... and it feels good. Just trust in Jehovah. Don't let a job loss takeover your life with needless worry. I can honestly say, I don't have a worry about it these days.

Well... Job loss isn't the only thing I lost. But that's life. Life in this system is like a 15 round boxing match. Gotta roll with the punches and hope you score enough points by the end of the match.

But, hopefully by scoring enough point by the end of the match, you mean in the spiritual sense. "He who dies with the most toys, still dies." - One of my favourite quotes, and it's only from a No Fear tshirt (remember those?)..but so so profound and true.

What did you think I meant? Didn't mean collecting the most cracker jack toys of all time. LOL

I don't know bro... if we're talking cracker jack toys.. now that's a whole different league than mere useless rubbish. I'm sure God would be most impressed with your personal collection.. and let you get into Paradise on that alone..looking over your many-a-shortcoming. It'd probably be a safer gamble, if it were Burger King toys tho. You'd definitely be canceling out your sins right there.
