FARMING – – – GAMBLING – – – INSURANCE

There’s an old saying, “What’s the difference between farming and gambling?”

Answer:  “In gambling you can quit.”

It’s better to be born a farmer than decide to become one.

 

One of the best definitions of gambling, sponsored by the government, is this:

“The lottery is a moron tax.”

 

And now for the two foundational principles of insurance:

01—Insurance is based on fear.  What if . . . ?

02—Insurance is worse than gambling.  You win only if you have tragedy or loss.

One of the best typographical mistakes I ever made was only off by one letter, and it made the sentence more accurate.  Now I share it on purpose.

I meant to type, “I’ll insure this.”

What I did type, “I’ll unsure this.”

Internet was down.  Missed a couple days.  It just so happens that I have more to say.  Later.

FINAL SETTLEMENT ?

Daddy told the story of a farmer who scoffed at God, especially by bragging to a Christian neighbor about his prosperity:

“I plowed this field on Sunday.

I planted this field on Sunday.

I harvested this field on Sunday.

I made a bumper crop from this field on Sunday.”

The neighbor simply responded, “God doesn’t settle all of His accounts on Sunday.”

 

Another story (my contribution):

“I worked hard.

I built my business.

I expanded my business.

I made a lot of money.

I invested it and made more money.

Now I am retired and taking it easy.

Don’t tell me that storing up treasure on earth doesn’t work.”

And the response is, “God doesn’t settle all of His accounts upon your retirement.”
