It’s why God gave us free will. The timing is ours if we choose. I agree that some are aiding and abetting, wanting the end times to come about.
I don’t.

P.S. Sorry to hear about your truck stop. I used to build them from underground tanks to canopy and store.

“P.S. Sorry to hear about your truck stop. I used to build them from underground tanks to canopy and store.”

Thank you, Then you know how much work, planning, time, and finances it really does take to do this. We did bounce back over the next several years. It was a freak situation. We had it all ready to break ground. We had invested everything we had into it, had a couple other investors signed up and all in, and had the location of all locations. We would have been liquid and all paid off within two years.

But here is the freak situation. We were on the 93 N and new “NAFTA” highway halfway between Kingman Az and Las Vegas Nv. A perfect and very needed location, no way to lose. One problem... The route goes over the Hoover Dam. When that second building was hit I knew immediately they were going to shut down all truck traffic over the dam from both directions.

Three days later this is exactly what happened. I tried to apply for 9-11 business relief funds and was just laughed at. It happened in NY not Az... We were probably the only ones outside NY that were truly affected by it because of that dam... fluke craziness. Fortunately we were already getting pretty good at having to start all over and over and over. :)

Check this out... I had three partners. One was a major local contractor (like yourself?). One owned a bulk petroleum supply with his own trucks. And the third already owned a truckstop and several restaurants. And I owned the property and had the repair shop covered.

Would have been pretty hard to lose holding cards like that... :)
