In the long run, of course. But, I’m practical and live in the now. I leave to God what God will do.

I have always kept in mind what Ernest Hemingway's character said in "The Sun also Rises" when asked how he went bankrupt.

"Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

My point here is that when a correction occurs, it quite often takes us by surprise. Maybe we won't see a correction in our lives, but it is like our national Debt or a packed snow bank. When it gets piled so high, the chances become more likely that it will collapse, and sweep us all away.

I counsel people to always remember the stresses piling up.
