God to provide in the near futu (I hope!, No, I believe!)
Right now I am in a situation where I'm not going to make ends meet
unless
something changes. Since my wife lost her job and her unemployment ran
out, I need to work a bare minimum of 8hrs per week overtime. I had to
buy Propane for heat ~$485, a deer ran out in front of me and tore up my
car, now I have a $100 deductable to pay, and to top it off the economy
has stopped the project I was getting overtime on. According to my
forcasted account balance I go in the red in early December. So I know
I'll be getting some unexpected income because God will provide. God
doesn't depend on the stock market or the economy, he provides when my
ordinary source of income fails. Hopefully I'll have a testemony before
I
go into the Red :-)


Yesterday I found out that repairing my car is going to cost more than
the
car is worth so they are planning to total it. Since is runs and drives
good and I use it for a work car, I plan to keep it and fix what I need
to
for safe operation (window, headlight, windshield washer container, etc).
So it looks like I should end up with a few thousand $$$ and keep me far
out
of the red and even let me pay off some other debts. It seems funny that
Atheists argue the existence of God while Christians enjoy the blessings
of
God. Thank God I'm not smart enough to be an Atheist!


Sorry to hear this. It is a tough time.

Roger, a relatively easy way to make extra money on the side is to buy
industrial surplus equipment and sell it on ebay and craigslist. This
is relatively low risk. Just make sure that you do not overpay. I have
been doing it for years and it is easy and fun.

If you are anywhere near me (west Chicagoland), I have several shelves
full of small stuff that I want to sell and do not have time to sell,
I would be happy to let you sell that stuff and split reveniue in half.

Thanks for the offer Iggy but I'd probably find too many items I want for
myself :-) I live in Illinois but about 300 miles South of Chicago. I have
been to Chicago several times for training for office equipment and machine
vision systems. (AB Dick copy machines, Omron and DVT vision systems)

I have a lot of little items myself I need to get rid of. Perhaps if I'd
spend my time listing them instead of Usenet messages I'd get some sold.
Last weekend it looked like I wouldn't be able to pay all my bills on time
by early December unless something changed. Monday I found out I have an
extra month to pay my property taxes and also found out my car is being
totaled but yet runs and drives great. That should mean instead of paying a
deductible, I should get money for the value of my car less the deductible
and the salvage value of the car. My minimum balance went from negative to
a few hundred positive because of the timing of property taxes without
considering the money from my auto insurance.
