Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZbin and a KZbin channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and he will.

Yes take notes. Here’s one: load the dishwasher correctly and without us having to tell you to do it. Just do it especially if we cooked the food. Also the counters and stovetop, front of microwave and front of dishwasher and fridge gets wiped down as well as the sink when cleaning the kitchen. Men sadly, just do dishes and leave it at that.

Nick Mottola And the water use was ridiculous. However, in that era there was an ad: "Electricity costs less today you know, than it did many long years ago." That was probably the time of the lowest prices adjusted for inflation. There weren't enough consumers yet to utilize all that could be produced. Hence, the ad campaigns. After all, many parts of the US already had access to low cost gas and an infrastructure to support it. Electricity was sold as cleaner than gas, and it was considered safer because it never blew up a house and you couldn't mess up using an oven or burner, with no matches needed. Gas, though, had been considered a big advance over wood or coal in the home, as in the saying, "Now you're cooking with gas!" It beats electricity for precise cooking because the heat stops when you turn it off, unlike the electric burner that has to cool off. Chefs prefer gas. People who just want to feed the family can make do with electricity. :) And the harried housewife could stick her head in the oven and survive. (Bye, Bye, Birdie illustrated that point with Albert's mother.)

[@gregorymalchuk272]

@@653j521 I just did some inflation adjusting on electricity prices from 1958. It it came out to 3 cents per kilowatt hour. Modern prices are between 7 to 9 all the way up to 25 cents per kilowatt hour. You are right. The 1950s probably was the era of the lowest electricity prices ever.

Those were the days when people seemed to bit more happier than today. Our country was not that deep in debt. Americans only used cash to purchase items, and did not use the charge cards, and go in debt!!! People bought things only when they saved up and had the money!!
