what if the world was declared a MATH free zone?
The globe no longer divided up in to grids, or countries even with borders of sections of straight lines
No longer would people tell the time by numbers, we just say its breakfast time or lunchtime
everything is free, so people dont have to count money or change
cookbooks would just have instructions like 'a bit of this, a bit of that'
Rulers would be banned, everything would just be relative
no social security numbers, barcodes, no dewey decimal system, and who really cares what the temperature is? Its hot or not hot or freezing lol

225amp breaker!? On the roof? On the roof of what? Those compressors must be the size of freight train engines!
BUT
The engineers went by the breaker sizes for preliminary load calculations for our project estimate costs and for putting it out for bid. The engineers are claiming that we need a 600 Amp three phase service (208 volt) so that it needs to be completely redone which costs roughly $60,000.
So....we are furious. We paid these guys $5,000 for an accurate preliminary and they are screwing up massively.
These guys are just engineers....they don't contract for anything else but designing what our needs are. MEP design is what they get paid to do. And they have screwed up massively. (MEP stands for Mechanical Electrical Plumbing)
This is under an architect who is the project manager of drawing the prints according to what they tell him. And they all have screwed up massively.

And to top off my lousy mood my 35% sugar dough failed. Insufficient dough strength and it went flatter than a pancake. No oven spring whatsoever. In fact it went flatter.
So I got another batch at 20% working now. It's got to rest for the rest of the evening and around midnight I will begin proofing it and then baking it for breakfast tomorrow.

Lol... I don't know about you, but I've NEVER seen a set of prints that were 100% accurate... What ever happened to architects actually BEING engineers?
That covers everything....
And on a main issue before interior design they have deliberately screwed up.

architecture and engineering are different disciplines that dont even talk to each other
That is why they are separate faculties in university, with their own libraries (I worked in engineering). It doesnt seem like they will merge any time soon.
I also dont understand how an architect can design a roof with no eaves, so that the rain sits collecting on the roof and eventually the house collapses thanks to the rain falling down the walls and saturating the interior

Young's Literal Translation
1 Timothy 6;10
for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;
Think about it... What can you do "these days" WITHOUT money? We are numbered at birth and raised in debt. Ultimately, if you refuse the "mark of the Beast", you will be denied access to work, trade, and money...
Revelation 13;
16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,e to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

That 1 Timothy verse I do not believe is correctly translated. Other translations for that verse read...
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. (NIV)
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. (NLT)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. (ESV)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil,... (NKJV)
I could go on, but I'm not going to provide every English translation. In fairness, there is a Catholic translation that uses your quoted version.
Remember also that the love of money did not motivate Eve or Adam to commit original sin. A lust for power, and vanity, but not money, is what motivated Lucifer. The evil of adultery is not usually motivated by money. The evil of murder is not always motivated by money. If I commit mental fornication, rest assured that an idolatrous lust for money is not the motivation. If we harbor the sin of bitterness and sin against God by not forgiving others, the cause of that is not always a sinful love for money.

Yes I like the way you’re thinking. It seems like few people have witnessed the quietly all-powerful and subtlety dominating power of God when He is pulling strings to manipulate reality before our eyes. Often it is so subtle that it’s imperceptible, but in emergencies God can act and it becomes very obvious we are not alone.

True. But a poor man can hardly afford to sin lol... unless his sin is envy
Money is hard NOT to love. Greed sets a precedent that invites all kinds of evil...

I can certainly relate to that... With the money comes a peculiar pride and "image consciousness". I still don't measure up to my parents expectations and they're pushing 80.
They're also Christian... They consider themselves very blessed.
Sorry to hear about your Dad, but it's good you got to pray with him.
