Good Stewardship & the Vision

So, praise the Lord and answer to my prayers has come, and as they usually do it's come BIG. I'm leaving state service and going back into the private industry. I will be an IBMer. This new opportunity will provide more, more challenges, and even more opportunity. It also comes with a bigger paycheck. About 50% bigger...
That being said I want to run out and buy a Vision. But I cannot... I have 1 bill left to payoff and then a house to buy. Then I might buy the Vision, so maybe late spring, or early summer. It's still fun to look though, they are awesome creations.
I went by arlen ness and they say they are going to have 8-balls will the radio and stuff added onto them (arlen ness custom creations) with the goal of being a cross between the 8-ball and the Tour, and keeping the cost down. If they are able to do that, I'll probably buy and 8-ball and add what I want and paint the flat black pieces glossy black. Really I like the black paint (glossy) and I love the wheels on the 8-ball. Or I might buy one of those silver and black ones, they look good too.
So I'm still dreaming, but I'm getting closer everyday.
God has been good to me, and seems to be good all the time. So this is part testimony and part dreaming, just had to let someone know that the God has been good to me.

A friend of mine used to work for IBM...they used her up, burned her candles at both ends and said good bye. It may seembetter than public sector but there also may be a limit also.advntrus said:

I am steering clear of the religion issue, to each his own.

Don is spot on about my response. He and I have had discusions. Religion split my family. Mymother and step brother and made me the pawn in between them. It also split my daughter in law's mother and father and my old business neighbor and his wife.advntrus said:
It's all in the interpretation, yours maybe different than mine, I respect your thoughts and if you don't respect mine don't try to convince me that your interpretation is right.I guess we will find out"The Truth"when our time here ends.

Stop baiting and read my brother... You are not roping me into this one online... But if you are here for Bike Week I would gladly discuss it with you over a beer... I will leave you with this, I do believe in God and our Country was founded on that core belief. I pledge my allegiance to both and fought for both. Beliefs have been twisted many ways to support someones (or groups) personal agenda... I did see an interesting bumper sticker the other day, "God is to big for one Religion" Something to think aboutadvntrus said:

"All men are created equal" actually meant all white men who own property are created equal.
"In God we Trust" wasn't on our money until 1954.
It was a political ploy done to differentiate us from the "Godless USSR".
I am fiscally conservative and socially moderate.
I am also a student of American History, so I enjoy shooting down fictitious beliefs that the USA was founded on Christianity.
Show me just one instance of Jesus being named in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or Declaration of Independence and the only reference to God was in the same generalized manner as the Mason's do, not as the "Christian God".
Do just the tiniest bit of research and you will find that many of the most important founding fathers were Deists. (Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, etc.)
The Mason's played a more important role in our founding than any religion.
Masonic symbols have been on our money much longer than "In God We Trust".

I'm sorry, I neglected to wish Squirt all the best too. It's always good to see people advance in work situations.
