Waylon Jennings sang “Old Five and Dimers” and it became a hit. It’s a song about coming to terms with and embracing who you are.
I’ve spent a lifetime making up my mind to be
More than the measure of what I thought others could see
Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between
For Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me
Does the Bible address the phenomena? Glad you asked.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
So, you are only dust. Get up out of there and do something to the glory of God.
Give it some thought.
