I am now preparing for both my vacation day and retirement day .
A wise man looks into the future and prepares himself for it .
So I shall indeed be storing up riches and so forth in preparation for the grandest vacation which shall follow my retirement .
A retirement plan and vacation plan rolled into one .
Let the riches be stored above for the grand retirement and vacation . For in this world I have no vacation days , nor store up for retirement on this earth . I shall live day by day by the Lord . Let us labor and toil in the sun and indeed the heat of it shall greatly increase in the days ahead . The trying of our faith shall indeed increase . OH but ever working and looking foreward to our vacation and retirement , may all be doing . For it matters not what happens to us in this world , it matters not that I have no earthly retirement Nor earthly vacations . What matters is that I have all peace of mind and joy and that hardships and trials , loss and persectution and even death cannot steal my joy , hope , happiness away . For my retirement and vacation , IS THE DAY OF THE LORD . WHEN forever free of this body I shall be . No more pain , no more suffering , Just present with the LORD . Till then , without no doubt and fully persuaded I am , it will get only much worse , but my joy nor hope , my peace nor happiness cannot be stolen by circumstances allowed to come against me . FOR ITS IN THE LORD . ITS IN THE LORD and I pray only an increase of it to Be ONLY IN THE LORD . NOW HANDS UP , ITS TIME TO PRAISE THE LORD .

TO THE LORD ALONE BE ALL GLORY and ALL PRAISE WITH THANKSGIVING . Let it never dimmer , never wane , never grow cold , THE THANKFUL HEART UNTO THE LORD FOR EVEN BEING SAVED . Let it only increase , let bible doctrine only increase , let praising the LORD only increase , let hope in HIM only increase Let all warnings and all promises only increase . LET every WORD of GOD be loved and worn with JOY . And no matter what is coming against us , SIMPLY take it patiently , enduring in HIM and may all REJIOCE IN THE LORD from this day forth and forever .

I am trying to make sure I have some retirement plan in place in case I remain on this earth after I am no longer able to keep working, but the most important thing we can do is prepare for our eternal home in heaven. Those things we set aside for an earthly retirement won't do us any good in heaven. Our money down here won't have any purchasing power in glory. We lay up treasures in heaven by doing good deeds and helping others. We lay up treasures as we labor for the Lord, and win souls to Christ and make disciples. Those are the things that have lasting value. All the money we set aside for retirement down here could wind up going to others, as we have no guarantee of tomorrow. Good reminders Frienduff. Lets all makes sure we are rich towards God.

My heart is broke yet again , the mods DO NOTHING on another forum . Several bring inclusive stuff ,and they are not stopping it . just as they did before . Yet , my , my if one says faith without works is dead , and it causes strife they shut it down . but these folks can come and teach and claim that muslims can have both JESUS and the KORAN and it is allowed . I am doing battle for the true gospel , and they do NOTHING . at least a few others are helping . but not many . only a few . This is so wrong and even as I type this the tears truly are running down both cheeks . WHAT on earth has this unity false DONE . This is so sad and disturbing . They allow THIS , yet cut the legs off from any who teaches OBEY , OBEY JESUS , FOLLOW JESUS . YET ALLOW THIS . its all backwards now , the lampstand is gone from so many places now .

My retirement plan is JESUS . I shall by grace also to continue to work so long as we can that is . And my trust is in one thing , and I know this will encourage you too butero . If the time does come when for any reason I am unable to work , the children of the LORD , wont be begging for bread . GOD will provide my friend . I KNOW IT , CAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD . Be encouraged butero . The truth is , I don't think it too much longer before true lambs will even be able to function in society anyway . the truth is , I hear many saying the true church is going to have to go underground . THE TRUTH IS , it already has , how welcome are we in most churches now . TRY speaking truth and see who loves us in most places . WE in part ARE already underground . BUT OH YES ITS GONNA GET WORSE . Just look at the most recent advertisments on even the super bowel . ALL in the name of inclusive love , THEY SHUT OUT the voices of those who had survived abortions and did not even respond nor allow their voice , YET in the name of this inclusive love , ALLOWED A DRAG QUEEN COMMERICAL . FOLKS amour up , WE about to be the most hated breed to ever walk the earth . all in the name of their inclusive dead false love god .

There is nothing new about that policy over there Frienduff. It has been like that all along. It is just that there was a time where they would give the impression it was just a few rogue moderators that were responsible, and the owner would act like he had nothing to do with it. I have come to realize that they are just following his orders. They are carrying out his directives. If you get to be too much of a challenge for them, they will make up a phony charge and place you on Moderator Review or claim you are a non-conformist, even if they have to make something up like they did to me. Nothing they do surprises me. All of that stuff about this so-called experiment is a lie. They are allowing a lot of doctrines, but they are also censoring a lot of doctrines, even if they don't violate their Statement of Faith.

I believe our Lord has a plan for His children. Back in 2009 my wife had a surgical procedure done where is left her disabled. I went part time for awhile which worked ok until 2013 where Sharon could no longer support her self. Because of my short cut employment, I will not get any form of pension. This does not bother me because of my trust in our Lord He has seen me through some very heavy financial burdens and I believe that if it's God's will that I need to stay here on earth for however long, our needs will be met.

If our hearts are truly above on HIM , our desires are not on anything we have as being our own . We look out for one another . I know most of us are on the poor side , BUT IN TRUTH we RICH MY FRIEND . WE ARE BIG TIME RICH . FOR JESUS IS OUR TREASURE . That's right les , and we gonna praise HIM through it all . So , we start tonight , HANDS UP and PRAISE THE LORD .

I remember this old song from when I worked in gospel radio, sung by the Dixie Echoes. Their version wasn't available, but I found this video where it was sung in a church service.
