Fictional account of life events of a poor dumb bastard trying to be in the world and in the Truth at the same time.

Empty Promise
So, almost all of my previous posts are generally just reports of how low I feel and why. Let's see if I can come up with something more positive for this go-round. Well, maybe at least neutral.
I bought lots of sh*t last month. Trying to make myself feel better I suppose. I just feel poorer now. Some of the stuff has to be configured with other (new) components. I haven't even opened the boxes.
Dang, and this was supposed to be a positive, or at least neutral post.
OK, well I got promoted from Supervisor to Superintendent. That was great. I still have to work 10 - 12 hours per day. I got a small raise this year. It just doesn't mean much anymore. Don't get me wrong, I would rather be promoted than demoted, or laid off. So I count this as a blessing. It is just that I am not happy.
I have heard people say that family is everything. Others place a high value on their friends. I don't have that. It is just me now, and I hate that.
On the other hand, why am I crying in my beer? I don't live in the town recently ravaged by a mile wide tornado. I don't have a terminal disease (that I know of.) I have all my limbs and fingers, Both my eyes work. I live in one of the richest countries on the face of the planet. I know who God is; but I have consistently declined to serve him. The rest just doesn't mean anything.
