I had a conversation recently with an older man who has worked his whole life as a tradesman. He’s concerned about his ability to build real wealth, make enough for his wife to stop working, and pass off something to his children. Our conversation revealed that he doesn’t sleep well, thinks often about things unfinished at the end of the day, and has many worries.

He made no mention of retirement, only to say, “if my current job doesn’t work out, who’s going to hire an old man in his sixties?”

This is our suffering -our modern day slavery. The reality of easy money is one of mass enslavement via the theft of time and energy. Do we not remember the #Exodus? Do we not #remember?

“Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.” -James‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬
