Bless God that the image of me that God says is the image of His Son . . . my covering. The Father refuses to look beyond the blood because He knows that what lies beyond is corruption.

"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity . . ." (Habakkuk 1:13).

One day I woke up and thought...the only thing I am never getting back is my time and how cheaply we trade it and what we trade it for made no sense to me....I was bringing home $2250 a week and walked away from it.....I know that is not much, but for me and no college I did not think that was too bad...!

What ever money can buy I guess.....put a plan into action and took 10 years to retire........all this worldly crap means nothing to me....When all I wanted was cash and things I never seemed to have enough ...but when I finally said I don't care anymore.....It seemed to flow like water ......priorty seems to be the true motive at the end of the day....JESUS WAS DIRT POOR, yet owned it all!

What bizz n why sold?

Sold the Business at 56yrs so we could go and take care of my wife's Mom in Thailand. Her health was not good and she passed away as a Christian at 80yrs old.

Some people cannot let go and hold on until they run their business into the ground, a pity.
