Not enough time to keep up with anything. -
10-22-2015, 07:29 PM
There's just not enough time, anymore. When I was young I could keep up with everything. I could remember baseball scores and phone numbers. Nowadays I can't keep up with anything. I don't even have to remember the phone numbers anymore, and I can't even manage to get all the numbers I have into my number list on my phone thingy.
I stopped my newspapers decades ago. Who has time to read that crap? I don't even open my mail more than 4 times a year. I know when I get a paycheck. I know what has to go to the IRS. The rest is just people begging me for my money, which they're not going to get unless it's two for one dinners at Applebee's or 20% off for my truck tires.
My car runs out of gas all the time. I forget and then am trying to find a gas station in an emergency before the fumes run out. No matter how much beer I buy, the fridge is always almost out of beer. I take the trash out all the time but I can't remember every week to take it out to the street. If it piles up, the raccoons come.
I can't keep up with the internet. How could I read everything, every day? I can't even keep up with this forum. I can't manage to even keep up with my friends, people I knew from childhood, or even my family, which is really small.
When people ask how I'm doing, sometimes I reply, "just trying to manage."
Sometimes I can cope and then there are times when I just feel overwhelmed. I see people who are busier than I am and I wonder how they do it?
Every time I try to simplify my life, it seems to get even more complicated. I don't know if there is any hope.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

I have that same problem. I am always late for class and I forget to bathe or wash my teeth. Sometimes I leave my clothes in the washing machine and have no dry clothes to wear for going out of the house. I often can not find my bus pass and I have to pay full price to ride. Last week I forgot to put the fish in the refrigerator and it tasted bad later. It is best not to worry about such details.

Brother Nobar, I will Pray for you. I have some suggestions. Right at this moment I am having a problem with my Abo's eating their young. I shall be back after the castration.

I try, but I can barely keep up with that, too! I have 45 hours of the 700 club on my DVD that I will probably never watch but is keeping me from recording other programs.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Brother Nobar I am worried that you are feeling what appears to be a little inadequate. You don't deserve the heavy burdens of modern day life let alone not having time to yourself to do things like watch the idiot box.
I would feel good in my heart if you would accept some help by way of me gifting you 3 of my best behaved and most well trained Abo's. The 3 particular Abo's I would like to ship to you speak English well and I am sure without much effort would speak American English in no time at all.
I have a sneaky suspicion that their father was a white man as these 3 Abo's are intelligent enough to learn things and learn them fast. They have never eaten their young (probably because they don't like the taste of chicken) and cannot rape your women as they have been castrated and hold no desire for sex.
I truly hope you accept my gift. Please believe me when I tell you I am not out to offend you in any way. I do not look at this as a charity of any type. I just think that for everything you have given to Freehold and the Landover Baptist Church, you deserve the time to do the things you enjoy and the things you need to without pressures.
Right now I would like to pray with you. Dear, sweet Jesus. Sweet, sweet Jesus.
Shine your loving light down upon Brother Nobar, and help him find the time to do, just the simplest things in life like operate his phone thingy and to not pass gas when his car is empty.
Dear sweet loving Jesus. Alleviate Brother Nobar of the burdens of day to day life.
Reward Brother Nobar, sweet, sweet Jesus, for the hours upon hours of Municipal Code Archiving that he does for Freehold. I will admit Jesus, I have no idea what that is, nor does anyone I know, but we all agree it sounds mighty important, sweet Jesus.
Dear Jesus, sweet, loving Jesus. Make Brother Nobars family, even smaller, so he may have more time to catch up with them, preferably all at once so as to save on petrol costs, which are currently so high Jesus, maybe you could do something about that to sweet Jesus?
Jesus, we pray that you can stop production of the 700 club, just long enough for Brother Nobar to catch up on the program, maybe 11 months would be enough and I am sure Pat Robertson would be grateful for the break, sweet, sweet Jesus. Praise Jesus.
Sweet Jesus, we pray you may possibly send your wrath down upon scalpers who are bothering our good Brother Nobar and maybe smite a few journalists so as the newspaper isn't so long, and possibly shorten the crossword puzzle, maybe 6 questions across and 6 down? Easy questions, maybe no so cryptic, Jesus.
Jesus we thank you for all you give, we thank you for the love you shine upon Freehold and all True Christians™
Jesus maybe, while you're listening, you could bring your wrath down upon that whore Hillary and give Donald a slight push to the gate.
in Jesus' name. Amen
Brother Nobar just one more thing. The Abo's are well trained in Grooming. But if you don't like the idea of them picking out and eating the remains of Sister Daisy''s sweet crusty pie from your beard while you sleep, I can send along one of my portable dust busters, they are well trained in using those also.
All the best
Brother BAW.

God is preparing you for heaven, a place where you will forget all your earthly worries and suffering. Everything will be done for you, except those things that you like doing.
PS, do you still remember my lending you $2,000?

Wasn´t that put in a mutual fund for Jo Freddy, then combined into an investment vessel investing in Cyprus bank shares that went ¨poof, and the money is gone¨? Perhaps Born again Bob can elaborate?
ps. Who had the shorts?

I hear you, Brother. Sometimes life gets to me, too. So many responsibilities that fall on my plate because no one else will get off their butts and do anything about it so it's left up to me or it won't get done and then who do you suppose everyone complains about? Not themselves, I can darn well assure you. So not only is there roughly 19-20 hours per day of unfulfilling work to be done just in order for everyone else to do what they want, because God forbid some of us do what we'd like, oh no, that would cut into the precious time of others who get to sleep 8 hours every night, sometimes in nice hotels with the rest of the church elders on some gratifiying mission to convert the heathen, and the stench of cheap perfume and whisky is just because that's the smell of the streets in that part of that city apparently and to ask anything about it is to invite a reminder of the value of obedience through discipline but even though it hurts, it doesn't touch the real pain. Of course, there is no more real pain. One must feel something. Anything. To feel pain. But who cares, ultimately? There's never enough time, the things that need to get done always go to serve someone else's fleeting pleasure, and when that pleasure is over, they are just as miserable as ever and then take it out on whoever is home, cooking their next meal, cleaning their dirty clothes, sweeping the dust out from the corners because God forbid anyone else lift a precious finger around here. So you just do what needs to be done. Day after day. I think there is no "point" to that, honestly. I think you just do what needs to be done, and once you let go of any hope of gratification or genuine joy, you are free from disappointment. Despair has a kind of anesthetic quality about it that allows one to survive to the next day. Next week. Next year. Take care of the next baby. Feed the next child. Whatever. Until Jesus comes to take us Home, I think we're not supposed to expect the time to keep up with anything. We're not given the time we need, reliable people in our lives, breaks from the grinding monotony of life. Ours is not to accomplish great things, or even mediocre things. Ours is to obey. That's it. Full stop. Just do as we're told without getting in the way. Then Jesus will be pleased. He will reward us in the next life in such a way that completely escapes our imagination today. It will be better than winning the lottery or getting married to the richest, most hansom monarch in the world. It will be better than a girls-day out with actual friends who you care about and don't stab you in the back. It will be like a perfect honeymoon with the perfect lover who loves you for who you are, not what you can do for him, and he won't care if you've gained a few pounds or have another wrinkle, some call them laugh lines and they mean I spent my youth smiling, I'll thank you very much. O come Lord Jesus.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

My brothers and sisters, you invite the fierce anger of the Lord our God. He is sick of your constant whining.
Numbers 11:1-2 (ESV) teaches us this:
“And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them.
Surely this proves that you are all in danger of inviting a spontaneous human combustion event. All that will remain of you if there were such an unfortunate incident would be two shoes and a sock. Or He might send snakes to bite you with deadly snake venom until dead or he might organise a mob of your family members to stone you with stones with the same result.
Turn away from this wickedness. I am trying to help you so don't shoot the messenger.
