Help Wanted signs everywhere apparently, even here in the mountains. All the trades are needing apprentices, can't fill the demand for housing. Its crazy here. always been (or used to be) a lower wage area, we used to jokingly call it our tax to live in Gods country, median single family housing approaching $400,000. Who can afford that? Certainly no carpenter, even at these new higher wages. But supply and demand, I fear the "crash" that is coming this time will be a total freefall collapse.
Free $$$, no need to work, gov't will take care of everything, food shortages, as our nation has turned from the basis on which it was formed, that is a strong belief in God - not spiritualism or buddhism nor any other ism - we have turned to "do your own thing whatever makes you feel good" type of people. Even many who identify as religious are decieved by the feel good sermons the likes of joel ostein. Regardless of how little faith most have in the God of the universe, still when asked most folks believe they will go to heaven. Seriously? Time to dust off those Bibles and study!!! Read the word of God, all the different scenarios, the players, the times, all are addressed in the Bible. Oh but it was written by men. Nope, God Breathed words, written by devout men guided by the Holy Spirit. More proof for Jesus, His life and Resurrection than other ancient artifacts that most folks take for granted as "truth". We are in a mess, and there is but one way out. I know this offends certain people, so be it. We are instructed to share the Good News. If you're not a Believer in Jesus as our Messiah, I encourage you to get to know Him today.
I was going to continue, but deleted my words and will end here. I wish you all the lasting joy & peace that can only come from a relationship with Jesus.
