Cannot testify to that have not been on the death bed.Yet
I am a time mangement Freak am of the opinion that it is a waste of good time to even stop and eat wished I could just take a Pill on the run and have my meal. I settle for a Sonic Bacon Cheese Burger,Small Fries and a Cherry Lime-Aid Driving down the road to my next inspect???
Wanna Bet? :mrgreen:
Besides, He wasn’t born on Dec 25th, but during Sukkot Late sept, early Oct, according to the Jewish calandar. Check Luke.
Hope this helps;
Well, first, there’s no traffic, and that’s good. Second, you mean one’s birthday is not the most important day of the year (for the average American). And what about that ol’ wedding anniversary for the fairer spouse? Third, why should their world stop just because someone else’s world stops. The ones that I’ve done have been either Jewish or Muslim. One of last year’s was a Muslim seller with a Muslim Realtor and a Muslim buyer with a Muslim Realtor. I think I was the only non-Muslim there. I didn’t require my employees to work on major holidays or during major sporting events, but those who did got overtime pay and bonuses. Ah, yes, the power of money.
For me they get to scatter my ashes.
I don’t know about that. I would be willing to bet that there have been many people who died without life insurance and, seeing the wife and children standing at their death bed, wished they had more money to leave them. And what’s the standard way to make money? Work!
Funny you say that. I don’t remember much about anything my Dad bought me, paid for, or left me. I do always remember the time we spent together, however, and that was worth more to me than any amount of money.
I spend weekends with my family. I can work weekends when my kids are grown if I choose to. Until then, those who work weekends are more than welcome to the inspections I lose.
My dad died when I was five, but he left us lots of money to pay for our college education.
Maybe I’m not as partial to my family since they are Mormons on my mom’s side and Catholics on my dad’s side, so I have a few gazillionbazillion relatives. Kind of like one’s in-laws, perhaps. Good to be away from them.
The December 25th date came when constantine the emperor of rome wanted to make christianity more appealing for the pagans as the pagan religion was very popular. So constantine stole a bunch of pagan customs and bundled them into christianity.

that’s interesting early fall I always thought early spring the Shepard’s are not out in winter anyway happy He was born, Happy new year to you & all our Jewish colleagues
24/7 here
Sometimes I work on Sunday, sometimes I take a weekend or two off, it just depends.
I didn’t say “Sabbath”. I said the Lord’s day. The Lord is Jesus and Sunday is the day he is worshiped, which started after His resurrection.
Ah, now I understand. I would think that if one worshipped someone like that, they should worship him 24/7, not just on a specific day. Could be why I left those man-made religions many years ago.
Apparently not many of you remember…
the 1st Commandment: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” That includes money.
the 4th Commandment: “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.”
Jesus’ commandment: " ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment." If this were true in your life, would your business be more important that the One who gave it to you?
Ah, hec. All those commandments that interfere with life. I sure wish someone would give me something, but, alas, I’ve had to work for everything I have in life. Just trash the commandments, be a good person, and contribute to society, trying to leave it better than what it was when one was born. That should do it.
Why?
The sad thing is, Hell is filled with “good people”. You, being a good person, can shine Hitler’s boots there. (Are you sweating yet?)
Wait. Let me guess. You don’t beleive in that either. Better pray it ain’t true.
Joe,
RR has no standard of “good” except what he imagines it to be.
Because, because, because, because, because… because.
(With apologies to “The Wizard of Oz.”)
When I die, I die. Please burn me and distribute my ashes on the earth. Thanks.
