So what does my voluntarily posting have to do with this?
I'm not anti-religious, or a bigot, just marvel at the times when folks give God credit for something when thousands of other perish- from innocent children to little old church going ladies.
(1 Thess. 5:16-18).
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
If you need another verse Romans 8:28-29.
Yep we die that is a part of life.
it pays good money and we are a single income family.I'm a bit confused- the company is paying mad money but it took this pay raise to finance a new car?
my student loans eat up a huge chunk of my pay check but I was blessed with a job
that I can pay them.
Top IT company- didn't know there was such an animal these days- my wife does IT work- started as a junior programmer and is now a BA. She just ended a BA job and will be starting a Developer/programmer job for hard into 6 figures. We have been through tough times and fun times... didn't really think Divine Intervention had much to do with our lives.
you can choose to ignore that. it is your choice. You should feel blessed and should be thankful. compared to the billions of other people in the world
you live in a country that provides that opportunity.
now my take- 10 years same 'wonderful' top IT company that merged and pushed off a promotion, but still 4 pay raises that gives you 'mad' money but thank God you got this last pay raise because you need a new vehicle- but now you got that promotion after a two year wait that your manager had to push for...
I never sad mad money. but you can continue to distort what I said. we also lost 20k a year or so when the store my wife worked for closed.
it seems more like a company finally realized it should reward a long service employee (so few spend a decade at the same IT business- most workers are very mobile) and green lighted the promotion.
not knocking Christianity at all- just how it is used from time to time... eace
yes you are and I simply called you out on it.
yes peace no one forces you to read the religious threads.
