Me either. Trumps word gives me all the hope I need.
Good luck worshipping your fat orange God. I doubt you’ll get any more than you did last time around, but blind faith is like that.
If we get half the of what we got in the last administration we will get twice as much as I expected.
It’s also been strengthened because of what his administration did. Much like your faith in God.
I dislike the idea of leaving that POM up for New Year. I’m changing it to something more hopeful, if still a bit muted.
Happy New Year, Reg. Dubai put on a spectacular show.
Ten years ago, Dubai represented everything good in the world to me. Now I see it as a disgusting place. I have changed beyond recognition with age, and I don’t mean physically.
That’s deep, Reg. How have you changed?
he got old and is no longer a solitary outcast that is in favour of free speech and he posts bible quotes now…
I always posted Bible quotes. lol.
That is a nice spiritual change. We could all use a change like that. I see nothing wrong with it.
nobody deserves such faith
Huh?
Your backwards thinking has confused me.
take another sip of fanta and you will forget about it
Seeing evil in the world has power to change a persons view of ourselves and who or what we want to be, spiritually.
Michele, I see the same evil and am equally disgusted by all tasteless, pretentious and ostentatious displays of wealth, including those in Dubai, Moscow, Saudi Arabia, Monaco, and Shanghai. And I’m particularly disgusted by those in New York (Trump Tower) and in Florida (Mar-a-Lago).
Being wealthy doesn’t make Trump evil. Your judgment of him is disgusting.
True. How he uses his wealth and power makes him evil. His grotesque lack of taste just makes him vulgar.

Michele, this verse is talking about spiritual wisdom, not money.
New Living Translation
To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.Amplified Bible
For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word], even what he has will be taken away from him.
