gold bug

Nothing excites the soul like finding gold. The mind runs wild with the calculation of ounces of gold at about $1200 an ounce. I am cleaning up my garage(was) sold it. But I was sweating as the final clean up and deadline are merging. I am 67 years old and the wounds are mounting up.
1. Cut on left hand 2inches
2. Burn on left arm 2 inches
3. puncture knuckle right hand.
4. Diabetic feet problem
5. Chest pain
and today i almost passed out head swimming weak knees just on the verge.
Then there in the trash after 16 boxes full there lies a prototype board we used in developing NCR's micro processor system. After 34 years the pins gleamed there golden luster. And heavy the board must weigh about 2 lbs.
So instead of almost dying my heart leaps with joy. This is real gold. Now always after the initial excitement reality sets in. Its gold plate, the gold plate is microscopic, the price u can get is a fraction as people are ready to steal it from you. I bought some gold when in Ecuador at least 18k gold. You can't find 14k gold in south america at least at that time. I take it to a refiner in Philadelphia. Ur are suppose to get an assay(none) and I was paid for 14k gold. These were small bars of gold too. Not some plated gold. So where did all that money go. My assumption is the refiner thought this is from South America so he probably is doing something illegal and so short changed me. An interesting side to this is the metal detectors at least at that time don't detect gold. In the consulate in Guayaquil they detected it with a hand scanner. I had painted it with nail polish so it didn't look like gold. I had always remembered a fellow worker in Shemya Alaska saying he had a gold pendant he wore it in case he lost everything. So I had a bar of Gold, wife and daughter also. In case someone stole everything we could survive.
Anyway experience tells me that Gold dealers may be thieves also.
So as I stand there sweating with shovel in hand I make a promise. I will give 10% of the money i receive to some one. That is if less than $1000.00 If the value is between $1,000 and $2,000 then the $100.00 plus 15% of that over $1,000 then Over $2,000 to $5,000 20% and anything over $5,000 25%
For example if this board had 10 troy ounces of Gold it would be worth $12,000
1. $100 $1,000
2. $150.00 $1,000-$2000
3. $600.00 $2000-$5000
4. $1,750 $5,000-$12,000
total $2,600 to help www.saintgabriel.info
Why am I putting that here?
Because when money comes our way we forget our promises. But u dear reader will pull my ear and say look here it is ur promise.
Its probably worth $300. But on the other hand, just maybe...
Anyway if u want to help a poor African church go to www.saintgabriel.info
They believe in GOD and they believe he will give them a new church.
Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
So let us see what happens.
To a person they believe GOD sent me to them.
The Muzungo
And there faith is as large as a Mountain not just a seed. So stand back because something has to happen.There r tears on my cheeks and I am crying. Because 4 years ago July 19th 2006 I fell through the roof onto that very spot where I found the computer board and lay there dying. For nine hours i lay there with pain u could not believe, peeing my pants because I could do nothing else, wanting to live but knowing with each breath the life and blood was flowing out of me. And I thank my son who found me and let me live. I owe my life to him.
And the day I went to this church the most brilliant beautiful rainbow stretching from horizon to horizon in the direction of the path to the church.

At this point in time we are sharing the suspense.
I do not know what will happen in Africa but taking the words of Jesus Christ and the faith of these people I wonder.
