We had the opportunity to ammend our ways and start all over again, but we have ploughed right on through and done the same old things again.
Out of all the options available, I see gold as being relatively stable especially as things run out of control. And even if it sees a downturn, it will hold steady and gradually rise again. There will always be gold, there will not always be dollars or pounds.
The Bible has a wonderful way with words, I particularly like the imagery of wealth eating away at my flesh. Life is doing that enough on its own though, all I want is a couple of shiny ingots! Why does everything I become interested have to centre around the end of the world? It's quite frustrating.
