Who ever said, and believed...

Who ever said, and believed, the only things certain are death and taxes? Long ago Hosea said, "His going forth is as sure as the dawn." Does that bring you comfort? Perhaps my experience will be helpful. When I was about to go on a ship over to Japan, I was told to eat much to prevent sickness. In light of what happens when a person gets seasick, I think that was a cruel joke. But then I was in the Army and an Army person told me that. I think I was the first person on our ship to get seasick. As I spent time over a barrel I woke other people who joined me.
