I keep paying out and I'll get for it is alot of potholes....

My only advice is...keep the faith. God is not slack concerning His promises.

Luk 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

And...blessings ain't always about money. In fact, money is down the list of true blessings.

The lessons are in God's promises. When those blessings do not come, it's not God's fault. Read the promises. Live the covenant.

Sadly, folks would have you believe that sick and in poverty is exactly where God wishes His covenant people, His blood redeemed children, to be.

Folks, if you're sick and broke, it's your own fault.

Now, I am not a person who believes God wants people to be sick and broke, but, neither do I believe that everyone who lives for God is sick and broke but for a lack of faith. As a matter of fact, I find that a bit arrogant.

Last time I bought gas I paid 2 riyals a gallon for it. That's 50 cents.

In Kenya, we pay about $5/gallon and that's about what it was in Belize recently. I'm a little surprised at how cheap it's been in the U.S. up till now.

The hysterics continue. Pundits said the same thing last time it approached this much.

You folks live in perpetual apocalypse mode

Nah we bought a gas-powered club car for scooting around the community. We use public transport or occasionally rent a car for everything else. We cant afford these gas prices!

We're going to Indonesia in 5 weeks I think its about $2.5 or $3 there (gotta check my conversions on that tho) but there are about a quarter billion motorcycles (estimated by noise not real number) there so the gas goes a lot further.

It rains on the just and unjust and chance and happenstance happen to all.

When something good happens to me, I just go ahead and "blame it on Jesus", when things aren't so good I quake in my boots...ha ha....well, sort of ha ha...but, I know God is true to His promises and He's never failed.

Concerning faith or lack thereof...you're right there too. I heard it asked once, "how much "faith do you think Lazarus was exercising when Jesus called him from the tomb?"
