Granite is the signature rock of the continents.

Compliments of Wikipedia:

Granite is a common and widely occurring type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock.

'Granite' is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone.

An "intrusion" is liquid rock that forms under Earth's surface. Magma from under the surface is slowly pushed up from deep within the earth into any cracks or spaces it can find, sometimes pushing existing country rock out of the way …

The word "felsic" is a term used in geology to refer to silicate minerals, magma, and rocks which are enriched in the lighter elements such as silicon, oxygen, aluminium, sodium, and potassium.

"Igneous" rock (derived from the Latin word igneus meaning of fire, from ignis meaning fire) is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic rock.

'Granularity' is the extent to which a system is broken down into small parts, either the system itself or its description or observation. It is the "extent to which a larger entity is subdivided. For example, a yard broken into inches has finer granularity than a yard broken into feet."

An example of increasingly fine granularity: a list of nations in the United Nations, a list of all states/provinces in those nations, a list of all counties in those states, etc.

Compliments of God

Deut 32:31 "For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges."

Rom 9:33 "As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."

Is 51:1 "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged."

Dan 2:34 "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces."

Dan 2:45 "Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."

Dan 2:35 "Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth."

1Cor 10:4 "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."

Rev 1:4 "… from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne …"

I cannot even imagine the panic that is going to take place when the dollar totally crashes. This just causes me to weep, Joseph. Most of those who call themselves believers are going to panic. You wont be panicking though, because you have seen the faithfulness of God. When you possessed nothing He still fed you and clothed you. What a testimony of God's faithfulness in your life. You dont just read about His faithfulness, you have experienced it yourself. You wont be moved when panic and chaos hit the streets. I envy you, my brother.
