Well said DG. You can tell me personally how you are doing on yours.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Idaho Falls, ID.
Just a minor point but if the seven years comes from the Old Testament story of Joseph saving his family and the Egyptians, it was essentially the Government of Egypt in the form of Joseph and Pharaoh who obeyed the vision God gave to them.
The part that can be disturbing to some, the government ends up owning all the land in payment for doing the saving. I’d really like to hear the story related by Joseph and Pharaoh and how it all played out.
Glad to see you made it to ID. Must feel nice break away from the routine and visit. Will compare notes of the season with you following your return.
Concur with the seven year/government connection and concern. Great Depression and Dirty Thirties local lore indicates that those personally prepared for seven years of hardship survive and can thrive. Those relying on government lose everything. And, of course, government ends up owning everything.
And now I must prepare for some local traveling. Once again it is time to activate the old pickup as part of Santa’s Reserve Sleigh Corps ;-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s!
