The move toward a totally cashless society is running into some roadblocks in the US and abroad.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to become the latest municipality to require retail stores to take cash.

I use cash and credit. Groceries and gas are credit. Smaller stuff is cash.
Dear Lord God Almighty thank You for everything. Lord may we stay a cash society for as long as possible. May Your will Heavenly Father been done in our lives. Please bring people to You Lord I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
