From time to time, I make references to my books. Why not? I’m allowed to. Besides, all those who are well known do it. They use whatever platform they have to encourage people to buy books. Why shouldn’t I?

This book is somewhat different. I didn’t and still don’t feel as if I should write it. The subject, the concept was so important to me that I tried to get others to write it. I do not feel as if I did properly impress on society the importance involved. I’m just not that good with words.

At any rate, the name of the book is, “Project Age.” Hopefully, without giving away too much of the plot, there is a portion in which Congress finds out that project age is about a chemical which slows the aging process significantly.

Which brings me to my point. Just how much would such a product be worth? How much would people be willing to pay for it? Let’s get a little personal. How much would you be willing to pay for it? I suspect that some would pay thousands of dollars for a monthly supply. I am sure that there are those willing to pay tens of thousands for a weekly supply. I don’t know. I suppose there are those willing to pay millions to live just a few more days.

Then, there is another question. If the chemical is scarce, why should you get it instead of the guys that haul our garbage off? Is the life of a congressman worth more than a teacher’s? The fact remains, I am sure that every member of congress, senators and representatives, would make sure they got their supply. I mean, we all know their lives are very important. Besides, they would have the power to get the stuff, even if their lives were worth nothing.

Sorry. That’s just the way it works in our society. Actually, it’s the way it works in all civilizations. Those on the throne get the benefits. The rest of us simply get the the left overs.

Contrary to what honest Abe said, we now have a government by lawyers, of the lawyers and for the lawyers. They write the laws, they pass the laws and they benefit from the laws. If you don’t believe me, try passing a law for term limits. Not going to happen. Does not benefit the lawyers who hold office or the mass of the staffs.

Going back to project age, to be sure, the lawyers would likely benefit the most from the chemical. The lawyers would pass laws that would see to it. I have a word for any representative who would say otherwise, liar. Indeed, those who would not admit it would be the first to come up with a reason that they should be first in line, even if there were but ten doses. Then again, it is how it works. Aren’t they and their families the first to benefit. Aren’t they the first to be allowed the exception. Case in point, it is not against the law for them to take advantage of insider trading. (Remember, the laws are for the lawyers. Remember, they did not have to take part in Obama care. They have their own system. Unlike Obama care, it’s a good one. It works.)

Sorry. Got a little off my intended subject. That is, just what is your life worth. What would you be willing to pay to have your life go on another year, a month, a week, a day. If there were some fantastic elixir, what would you be willing pay for it?

I ask this question to maybe make you think. Let’s face it. There are legitimate reasons to want to live a little longer. I have seen my grandchildren. It might be nice to see their children, if only for a few days. Perhaps you’re working on an important scientific project and you’d like to see it though to it’s completion. If I asked a thousand people for a reason to live just a little longer, most would come up with something pretty good. Some, maybe not.

Now let me toss another question at you. How would you like to live forever, and it wouldn’t cost you a thing? I guess, most would jump at the chance, but few do. Jesus only ask that you be willing to accept him as your savior. Most, foolishly turn him away. They are unwilling to let him pay the price for your salvation. Either that or they say they are good enough on their own.

Most, foolishly turn down the best offer they have ever had, for a number of reasons. By their own choice they reject Jesus and they will lose their chance at eternal life and will face eternal death instead.

You see, to God, you are worth a great deal. It is why He sent His Son to die for you. It is why He wants you to take the chance, before it is too late. You see, God does respect your right to chose. He will not force you to take his offer. He will try to talk you into it, but he won’t make you take it. That is up to you.

Just seems odd to me. A person is willing to pay a fortune for life, but most are unwilling to take it as a gift.

People with power like to take things from others. God, has the ultimate power. He likes to give. He wants to give everyone eternal life. Oddly, most reject the gift. Tell me how that makes sense.
