One finds–as he makes his way in this hard, cold world in which we live–sometimes the MOST interesting information may be had IF only we keep our eyes and ears open.
And so it was that a most interesting “slice of life” was provided by someone who didn’t seem to be interested in providing such things; it was overheard by another who was not particularly interested in overhearing the conversation/proclamations of others.
The slice of life went something like so:
I had a summer job after my senior year in high school. I was trying to save a little money for when I went away to college. Anyway, I made $1.50 an hour. ONE DOLLAR FIFTY CENTS AN HOUR! That was BELOW minimum wage ($1.65). That’s not much but I usually got about ten hours a week overtime, so after taxes, I cleared about fifty-three dollars a week. And it was a HARD job! I worked six days a week and I cleared fifty-three dollars a week. And then, my mom says to me, “Why can’t you save any money?” I told her “Mom, I put gas in my car. I buy a few 8-track tapes now and then and I take my girlfriend out for a burger. And that’s about all there is!”
“I only make fifty-three dollars a week! That’s not that much! Good thing I’m going to college!”
NOW, after hearing such an account, one could write about the difference in the value of money between NOW and forty-fifty years ago.
One could write about the heightened expectations of parents (the younger the child, the higher the expectations, generally).
OR,
One could simply write about the interesting things one sometimes overhears.
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
