Not too long ago, the leaders of the big 3 nations of Continental Europe came together to witness the celebratory ceremony for the opening of the Gotthard tunnel, the longest tunnel in the world.
A celebration of man over nature. Was it also a showcase of a Europe that seeks to worship self? And a Satanic ritual is probably apt given the narcissism of the devil.
This same month, Brexit truly occurred, catching the world on the wrong side.
An act of self interest on the part of the Brits? Or rather very soon only the English?
The orderly world is falling apart at her seams, and it will be difficult on one's own wit to escape unscathed from the crumbling edifices, as selfishness rears her ugly head.
"When the world around us is crumbling, Christ is the solid Rock on which we stand."

MoneySense#17 The simple life (13 June 2016)
Been in hiatus since my last blog in April. My full attention was upon my coming of age.
Not into young adulthood at age 21, but rather into that once hallowed age of 55 when a nice pension awaits followed closely by a life of leisure. That was the past.
Today, the popular press in cahoots with the financial services industry tell us that you will need a million bucks to retire decently or be prepared to work to age 65 to attain that magic nest egg.
The pursuit of this popular mantra has led many to speculate rather than invest prudently, and leverage to maximize returns.
Should not one start with simplifying one's life? More about needs and less about wants.
What is considered a comfortable retirement income need no longer be at the stratosphere, but can be closer to the ground.
