Uncertainty: an inescapable component of existence. If you are a strict Calvinist, you have no issue with it, since predestination is the fundamental tenet & the elect are saved and the non-elect are damned. However, if you have some belief that your destination is in your control, unshaped by any deity or universal will, then you might have a chance to feel you can create your own adventure. Either way, after any passage of time — seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc. — there will be a resolution! You just have to wait to find out!
Gratuitous Horse Racing Tweet of Your Day:
As always among the equine athletic competitions, Thoroughbreds on the flats (dirt or turf) rule. But if you have to settle for a variant form, it’s going to be hurdles. If you have to make-do with a non-Thoroughbred deviation, it’s the Standardbreds. Arabians might be after that, way below, but always ahead of American Quarter Horses. Facts. American Quarter Horses are the picklenickel of horse breeds.
