I can handle being famous and rich. I wanna be rich just like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. They're sinners just like everyone else, the only difference between you and me, they have more bucks. They're going to die just like you and me. Poof, gone, ain't taking it with them.

"how many folks =post to=impress??"

Hmmm. Well, I don't post to impress myself. What would be the point?

As for "impressing" other folks, God himself "impressed" Adam's clay with His own thumbs, according to scripture, to shape that clay into His own image. The kind of impression I want to make is on someone else's mind, for sure. But only if it is for the better.

You, too, al-d. You're after the same thing.
