Putting My Two Cents In...

Tweet

You know… I’ve never even looked at a lotto ticket, much less bought one, until all these fiascos happened in my life. Yeah… The odds are not great, but winning can happen. I also know...that if you are a Christian, most will say that playing the lottery is wrong. However, the fact remains...the people I admire the most in my past, in the Christian “sect”...barely will give me the time of day. And the crazy thing is… That kind of behavior is against God’s standards too...and it breaks His heart. I know I have been lucky in the past finding tossed winning lotto tickets, which has been nice. But as time goes on...that dries up too. Nothing lasts forever. I have a very analytical mind, so I did some research, and found that the best way to win at the lottery, is play what they call are the “hot numbers.” Plus...learn what group of hot numbers work well together. And instead of focusing on trying to win “big”...I’ve decided to see if I could use the strategy to stay afloat. Yes… The wins are much smaller, but the odds are better. I know it is still considered just “luck”... But again… The odds are better. When it comes to scratch offs, that strategy does not work. However, I could figure the odds of winning in a batch in Texas based on the number count, but in Florida that strategy does not work. They have the worst odds I have ever seen, and after much research...found that Florida is considered in the bottom 10% when it comes to winning. So… I leave Florida scratch offs alone, unless I find one. I am just sticking to playing the numbers. If I win it big...it is icing on the cake. All I want is to hopely win enough to get a small place, so I do not have to worry about a roof over my head anymore. To be honest...I am not looking to get wealthy. I see what that life does to people, even among the Christians. And those are not the kind of people I want to pattern myself after. Anyway… The last few days… I took the last couple of dollars, and decided to see if I could win just a little. What I had...was not going to do me much good...anyway. I eventually won $8.50. The very next day...I won $9.00… I had never won before, until I applied this strategy of playing the hot numbers. Last night...which was a few days later, I won $40. So the strategy has been working. I have learned not to depend on anyone in this world. They will abandon me at the drop of a hat. Especially...those in the church. I am not against God, or have any plans of walking away from Him. But I am not hanging around people who seem to be so heavenly minded, that they are no longer any earthly good. I do not have anything to learn from them. It is not about them being perfect. No one is perfect. It is about them using the Bible as a crutch, to act and behave like anyone other than the God, they claim so serve. It is not about getting anything from people. It never has been, regardless of what critics might say about my motives. For me… It is about still mattering to them, even when I am at my lowest level in life. As I have mentioned in my previous posts… It took all these hardships, to realize that I admired all the wrong people in my life. So now… I am very careful, who I let in my life. I will speak to everyone. Jesus never told us to be rude, and ignore people. And when they are/do, they sure are not representing the Kingdom of Heaven. Since I started posting again… A few have stopped speaking to me. Stuff like that used to really ruin my day, but not anymore. And something else that I have learned through all my trials, has also been this… If people walk away from you. Ignore you. Reject you. Boot you as a friend. They are revealing their poor character, and not yours. It may still hurt, and be disappointing. But trust me… In the long wrong, God will be our vindicator. Even God says in His word…that many...not some...not a few...but many will say to Him… “Lord, Lord, did we not do this in your name, and that in your name...and He will say depart from me, I never knew you.” For God... He takes it very seriously, how we treat people. Even in Proverbs 6: God talks about 7 things that He hates, and most have to do with how we treat people, and ruin their reputations by the slander in our mouths. We all see God as a loving and forgiving God. But He is also a God of justice. And if we will give God enough time… He will vindicate us. Oh well… It has been a while, since I put my two cents in. I hope it does not chase too many of you off. But will not be surprised if it does… LOL
