"May God help us, because we darn sure are not helping ourselves"
Isn't there a saying somewhere that the lord helps those who help themselves?
Yup, and I looked it up, laughs a little. Turns out it was from our old friend Ben Franklin, who paraphrased it from someone else ; }

Also, a good number of other folks consider counting on yourself as “unbiblical”...
It may get me into trouble, but I would like to think that so long as we are asking Him for guidance and strength, that to some extent, He is counting on us to serve His will down here, hopeful look.
May God bless.
