Despite being born long after the Flood (Genesis 6-8), Abraham was able to live a long time Diseases probably crept on all mankind more and more as time went on after this, but at least with any good healthcare around (I don’t count drugs as good medication, so the MJ and opioids will have to sit out on that), we can live long again. But anyway, we see that Abraham had several other children through his second wife, Keturah (remember, he had married Sarah and she died at 127; see Genesis 23:1), but he was buried next to Sarah by his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael (Genesis 25:9-10). I’m grateful he lived a full life throughout the whole thing, especially after he began believing in Jesus (Genesis 15:6). I think I can die a happy man myself, seeing that I pushed back my student loan payments again today 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌 what a relief, huh? And a huge one at that! It’ll be even better when I can actually afford them! This passage is found in page 14 of my NKJV Bible, pages 17-18 of my NASB Bible, page 31 of my VOICE copy, and pages 30-31 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. And Abraham was born around 2066 B.C., so he died at around 1891 B.C., if you looking for historical accuracy — this is to the best of my knowledge.
I want to live a full life like Abraham did, always being on fire for Jesus without getting political about anything. For who can consider themselves Christian if they make political statements? But I’m grateful that I have my student loan payments delayed some more, three more months, so in early February, I’ll need to pay them back. But I’ll be looking for jobs in the meantime; hopefully I can get hired in the UPS company so I can drive anywhere around Arizona delivering good stuff without a CDL, because, let’s face it, it takes a while, and I won’t be able to get a license or even a permit with the appropriate accommodations in time. But at least I can give my niece a Christmas present this year, too. And today, I’m going to start saving up, beginning with a quarter (for I have almost nothing right now and I get paid tomorrow, making it at least five dollars after that). I want to be faithful with a lot like Abraham was throughout his life, especially to God Himself! This is one of the few posts I’ve made when I can say that anything good can still happen, so I really want to savor this.
Any prayer requests you want to write to me about? Leave them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one (I still have none), write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! Also (I forgot to mention this), this marks the end of Abraham’s story, so I’ll be back tonight with another post about the three or so chapters that cover Isaac’s life. For now, though, I’ll take comfort in the fact that God is faithful to me through the loan company I’m working with. The only thing that could made it better is if I can get to some warm water to swim in, cancelling my shift at work! But I obviously won’t do that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the pool’s not heated, but I don’t mind going to my Fry’s store despite the stress I can face. I don’t want to be around incorrigible people, though. Ciao!
