It is pretty safe to say that humanity is pretty screwed up right now. The whole world seems to be a guzbucking mess and its pretty easy to figure out the reason. Greed.
Sadly I have to agree, anyone who cannot see that is walking around with blinkers. Here in SA those in government steal as quickly as money comes in, so it's no wonder the poorest of the poor take to the streets and causes havoc!
Greed is the name of the game - those in power only make sure their own pockets are filled, never mind that there will be nothing left for those who follow. Basic infrastructure is falling apart, and tenders to repair and maintain are given to buddies who share the spoils with their "benefactors."
A once thriving economy is slowly dying.
Our young talented people are leaving in droves, our oldest son emigrated to the Netherlands in January and wants us to eventually follow, but we will only do that if our younger son leaves SA.
So, we'll see what the future holds.
Yes, I have prayed and still do, some are answered but like a wise man once said, God has given man free will, but when it comes to the spiritual world, he has full control. Often our prayers are answered many moons later, and when we look back, we realize why it took so long, there is always a bigger plan! Well, that's my belief in any case.
Your Corvette looks so snazzy, enjoy restoring it so you can take her back onto the open road!
Nice seeing you Sult, I hope the family are all keeping well xxx
So glad to have you take the time to read and comment Lizzle. I to also believe that God alsways has a bigger plan and had the neighbor decided to sell that car years before I may not have been in a financial position to purchase it from her... so I firmly believe that we need to acknowledge that we are on God's timeline and not ours.
Governments, no matter where they are, are organized criminals in my opinion but we only have ourselves to blame here in the USA because it was our duty to keep them in line and serving us and protecting our rights. Which was the entire scope of government from the start in the USA.
The Corvette is really in amzing shape and because it sat so long there is quite a bit of work to do to get it back on the road. The girls ( Blondie & Shortie) are really excited about it and they have big plans for using it. The only thing they don't like about it is that it doesn't have cup holders for drinks. I will be doing a blog about it when it is back on the road but last weekend was a big step forward as we actually started it for the first time and it moved under its own power for the frist time in over 30 years. The engine runs fine and the transmission shifted without any issues so that is a big sigh of relief.
We are doing as well as can be expected health wise but the normal issues that go along with Ehlers-Danlos persist.
Hope and pray the best for your family and God guides you well,
Sult
