The Reason for the Season

I think it does not matter where I write.  No matter where I write it will all be gone when I'm gone.  Jesus  will still be here and I will be with Jesus if it is his will.  In I Kings one of the first storys about King Solomon shortly after King David goes to sleep with his fathers is the story of the Lord asking him to ask for anything he wants and he asks for wisdom and then he soon reaches age 59 and goes to sleep with his fathers and turns things over to his son Rehaboem.  And on it goes.

So if you think about what would you ask for if the Lord said I will give you anything you ask for?  Well if there was some young crippled girl laying in the dirt in pain from various ailments, would you ask for a new car?  I think all we can ask for is that God's will be done.  I am reading the farewell address of George Washington and the Bunker Hill Monument orations of Daniel Webster.  It is an old book I got from eBay printed in 1929 intended for elementary school children of the day.  Today it seems that it won't be long before no living adult in America even knows who George Washington was.  I probably really even didn't have much of an idea of who Daniel Webster was.  I probably would have just said oh he's  the guy they named the dictionary after.

So education is critical and it seems to be slipping into oblivion.  I'm glad to have governor Younkin in the mansion down at Richmond  rather than the California Newsolini clone that he pushed out of there.

So it doesn't matter what I write but it seems to be in my head this morning that I would like to write and I would like to press on the theme until I write my last words of cash flow and Jesus.  Kids need cash flow and Jesus.  Jesus is enough by himself to make him first.  Then get on to cash flow.

How in the heck is it that this country is in debt after 250 years in business?  I don't think Dave Ramsey would be too impressed.  And come to think of it that is basically what Dave Ramsey preaches, get out of debt and love Jesus.  That's why I like Uncle Dave.

So you could sit here writing on this blog as a writer who is  in debt and work on getting out of debt while you study the word and pray for strength to be successful, or you could be writer who has been working Dave's program for twenty years and finds himself on the other side of baby step seven with a  good job and debt free.

If kids were never to even take on a single penny of debt in the first place that would be the proper education in my mind, or at least not for anything other than their primary residence.  I don't think you can get much better of an investment than your home.  The trouble comes in when you have to move to another home for another job if you lose the job you got or if you  just finished some certification and now want to take a better job and the better job is in some other town on the other side of the country.

So the game has shifted for me.  I'm now the guy on the other side of baby step seven.  And I'm in a home and I don't want to move and I may never have to.

But here's the thing, if you had cash flow that whole issue becomes moot because you don't have to move to improve your cash flow.  And now with the remote work you don't have to move even if it's a  change of remote job that you are making.  Making a jump from a lower paying remote job to a  higher paying remote job does not require that you move or pull your kids out of school with all of their friends.

Now that I think about it, many young people actually have the main goal of getting married and raising kids.  And that is probably the best thing for society but there have been single men in history such as Paul and other disciples come to mind and other Kings and Judges had more than one wife and Solomon had three hundred wives and David murdered Uriah the Hittite so he could have Bathsheba all to himself.

So men have been sinners, this is nothing new under the sun, and I have little hope of solving all of the worlds problems before I fly the coop and as I read these old books such as Walden Pond by Thoreau it seems quite obvious that these thoughts in my head are nothing new either.  Thoreau wrote of living in a  tool box and how that would actually maybe possibly be a possibility and how the indians lived in thin tents in below zero weather conditions.  My had is off to Mr. Thoreau and I must endeavor to persaver to finish reading what he has written.

So I have my plans laid out pretty good on my miro.com whiteboard and if you would like to have a Zoom meeting and let me share it with you let me know perhaps I will make a youtube instructional blog or if not instructional just a vlog instead of a blog post.  I can sit here and type out whatever comes to my mind so what would be the difference if I sat in front of a video camera and made a powerpoint slash computer video of myself doing screenshares vlog post.  It's all the same thing but in one you are showing your face with the scary air quotes.  Oh God I could never show may face said all the Karens of the world.  Is Dave Ramsey afraid of showing his face?  I may work on this no in fact it is now officially a  part of my writing program.  Video writing including a few good old Merle Haggard tunes.  Oh but should I put them on Facebook?  Oh that is so scary for all the Ken's and Karen's who are so scared and they're just going to sit behind their little screens are be looky loo's and never say a word and oh this is so  fun  to be an invisible fly on the wall and I'm  a useless piece of well Jesus loves all of his children and I pray that I am  not a sinner but I'll tell you what I've about had it with and I just realized this my buddy at work who actually goes by the name Ken.  I'm about tired of that guy but hey it's important that we are forced at the threat of termination gunpoint to drive in to the office and be forced to sit next to these idiots that all they are is grumpy and all they want to do is let you know that they hate your guts oh what joy to be back in the office and corroborating or collaborating or better together or whatever dumb reason anybody could think of looking at you Amazon to force people to return to the office after you were stupid enought to force them to leave the office in the first place and breaking the camels back with a big straw about the size of the Empire State Building.

So why and I  would rather not use question marks is because for fun.  Because for fun and to love Jesus and maybe not be too much of a preacher but maybe be a preacher.  Preach for the street corners of the intenet while working on cash flow and once cash flow is achieved preach free cash flow school for every kid who is ever born until the day they bury me under the maple tree.
