1. Give ##% to my local church
2. Pay off debts and retire
3. buy new hearing-aids (the best)
4. Get involved in Missions... My wife and I are considering becoming missionaries after I retired from the workforce.

God have blessed us and still blessing us. God have provided all the luxuries my wife and I ever want. Even though we still have problems... heck if a Christian do not have a problem, then Satan is not attacking. Satan is happy with any Christians who are not serving the Lord.

Anyway... that's what I will do with the money.

If you could have a most perfect day can you describe what you would do??...

 

[JimfromOhio]

The most perfect day is being with my wife alone which we don't get enough because we are surrounded by kids, work, chores, and other activities.

What is your philosophy on escapism?

What is your philosophy on escapism?

Good Question. I do fret often. Often I think back of my mistakes which can be a problem because being fretfulness can rob me of my peace and joy that I have with Christ. I have to remember that I am not alone with mistakes. That my spiritual life should not feed on the negatives and that I need to focus on the positives. I need to focus in following God today and tomorrow. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)

When I am facing my chronic pains, I often focus on something to keep my mind busy such getting online (i.e. ChristianForums, my Blog). I often retread to read books or get into deep thoughts about certain topics.

This is my spiritual motivation that I have hanged up in my office.
To this end I labor, struggling with all God's energy, which so powerfully works in me, for it is God who works in me to will and to act according to His good purpose. All-surpassing power is from God and not from me. God who is able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within me, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus. (See: Eph 3:20-21; 2 Cor. 4:7; Phil. 2:13 and Col. 1:29)

We're coming up on Thanksgiving next week - what's your favorite way to spend the day?

 

[JimfromOhio]

Thanksgiving next week?

Just kidding. We were going to go to my hometown near Plymouth but we decided to wait until Christmas. We prefer to be in MA every thanksgiving. Because my wife and I got married the day after thanksgiving a few years ago. So, we want to try to visit my parents every thanksgiving if possible.

If we don't, we will stay home and relax. We are pretty much "home people" and prefer be with our families all the time.

 

[worldwatcher]

How long have you been married?

 

[JimfromOhio]

Will be 2 years next week.

My mentor, my good friend, my pastor. He was the pastor to the Deaf Christians. He died of cancer. More about him.

I didn't think about this so I probably stick with the era I am living in now.
