~cecilism~

Man driven by wealth
forsakes all else
blinded by his greed

1st Timothy 6:10. "The love of money..." Or, its worship. This culture is wallowing in that. I have many disagreements with Paul, but he's onto something with that one.

I'm presently doing a little sub-rosa contracting, writing software for a guy who's developing a kind of video game for sports bars & the like. I took it on because it seemed like an interesting intellectual challenge (which it has more than proven to be) - but he sees it as the means to wealth beyond our wildest dreams. He's repeatedly offered me a full-time partnership, and quite frankly, I'm not interested. I keep telling him that I can't afford to get any richer than I already am. I owe nothing on my home, my credit card debt is well under $1000 (and it's just a temporary pig I've had to swallow), and I have enough money saved to keep the lights on, oil in the furnace, and food in the fridge - how much more do I really need? Oh, I forgot to mention - he's an ardent Trump supporter. Not to be guilty of profiling, but......

I am currently writing a book
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

The apostle Paul from the Bible N. T., Cec. I think that verse is from his letter to Timothy.

greed has no boundaries
but it good to keep in mind
neither does love
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
