I dunno, my wife burns through my dollars pretty well and I'm not fucked.God doesn't leave people but he gives an option. Some call it "free will".The laws of nature or such that there is a self compensating feature.The Lord works in mysterious ways has some truth to itYou know, I can't prove to anyone else that God exists, but I can point to some very interesting times in my life where I believe He had His Hand guiding me along.
I remember one time I was in foster care, and I really didn't want to be there anymore because the family taking care of me was using me for a paycheck to fund building their house. Well, I decided to run away and got ahold of my case worker in Helena and he told me that I had to go back to Missoula where the foster family was. Well, I went to the bus station, and for some strange reason, the bus left a few minutes early, and I missed it. I talked to my case worker and told him I'd missed the bus and he told me to wait at the station for the next one.
Well.................I really didn't want to go back to the foster family, so I asked the bus clerk how much for a ticket to Chicago. He said 300, but I didn't have that much money. I asked him where the next bus was going, and he said Great Falls (which is close to where my Grandparents lived). I asked how much for the ticket, and it was only 25 bucks, and I had around 30, so I got a ticket to Great Falls.
I then started to hike to Vaughn (where my Grandparents were), which was around 11 miles outside of Great Falls. I stopped at a truck stop to get something to eat and when I finished, I walked out into the parking lot. A group of 3 college students stopped and asked if I needed a ride, and I said that I was going to Vaughn. They said they were going to Missoulla and would be willing to take me all the way there if I wanted. I said no, Vaughn was far enough and I would be okay.
Slept in the schoolyard that night (it was around 1:00 am when I got to Vaughn), and the next morning knocked on my Grandparent's door. Grandma answered the door, asked what I was doing there, and I told her I ran away. She then asked if I was hungry and that breakfast was ready.
Spent my senior year with my Grandparents. The thing I thought was strange was the way the ride showed up, and the fact that it was going to Missoulla. That was God asking me if I was sure I wanted to run away, because when I left the foster family, I also left any chances of my going to college, which is why I joined the Navy.
We wouldn't expect God to leave us no way of knowing if we were doing right or rationalizing that we were doing right when we were really doing wrong. He is pruning us all. Even those that don't believe he exists.
Right, Foxfyre?
You can burn your bible if you want to. Burn annmerkkkin flag or a pile of dollars and YOU'RE fucked.
How can I be? I have everlasting life.
