A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.
The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery…
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen. She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.
“Do you have health insurance?” she asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, “No health insurance.”
The nun asked, “Do you have money in the bank?”
He replied, “No money in the bank.”
“Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?” asked the irritated nun.
He said, “I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun.”
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, “Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God.”
The patient replied, “Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law.”

This news is 20 years old. Nothing electronic should be bought from China, and they should be removed from all electronic media sites. Congress created the mess.
Most large technology companies layoff Americans and hire Indians and other foreign workers at a cheaper salary. It has been going on for 20 years. Look at Trump’s 600,000 college students from China.
The Brrrrr Cat: I bet it was, according to the geological records. Many of these presentations are theories and support evolution. A Creator could have made everything. There have been many Ice Ages, here is one.
This is what it means to trust God: We will be sure about the things that we hope for. We will be sure in our minds about things that we cannot even see.
