Buy $200 worth of #Bitcoin each week and everyone tells you how risky it is.

Spend $200 each week for a bottle of alcohol in a club and people will give you fist bumps and tell you how good of a friend you are.

Society programs you to be poor. You gotta find your own way.


So true!

I also love “the angry family” episode also. So funny! Crazy thing is we watch them over and over, know the lines to the dialog, and still laugh so hard!


Hilarious episode! I think I know most of it by heart! Haha

I agree to an extent… one adult and one goofball


I know them personally. They are amazing people with an amazing outlook even though this was a horrific atrocity done to them.


True. Protect your mental health. Forgive, pray for, cut them loose. Remember too that “forgive and forget” might not always apply. God gave us a memory in forgiveness also. “Forgetting” might cause us to trust them when we needed to cut them loose/stay away, thus possibly going through an unnecessary cycle of hurt.


So true Jimmy!

I've considered myself Christian for a while but today I was saved.

I made the commitment in front of a local pastor and he's committed to guiding me as I go. He gave me this Bible and signed and dated it.

It feels good man.

Looks good!


That’s a disturbing, but true chart. Bad thing, there’s more to come


It’s a 🤡 world


No mind change. That makes no sense. Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for all people abolished old covenant rules to establish the new freeing covenant. Do your own extensive research.


Interesting video. Context and citing  Old Testament “rules” that don’t apply anymore are statements made out of ignorance or anger.
He can have that opinion.
Interesting also that people attack God because of ignorant/arrogant Christian’s actions, false teachers/leaders or bad experiences with a church. Actually God probably wasn’t guiding their actions/words in the first place. It was the Christian’s on self righteousness that was guiding them.

Anyway, have a good day


Believe what you want to. It’s your right my friend


I believe nothing is 100% provable. I follow evidence. The Bible is accurate scientifically, archeological, historically and the messianic prophecies that have come true with 100% accuracy are huge (even from secular/non Christian sources such as Tacitus, Pliny the younger, etc).
I do however, stray from most “religious people” in that I believe if everyone is made in God’s image, they all deserve the right to question, offer their insights/opinions, share ideas without it having to be a “I’m right, you’re wrong debate”.
We are all trying to make it in life, understand pain and suffering, answer the why’s, explore, etc.
I am currently reading the Quran, and I’ve studied many, many belief systems. If I want to get answers, if they can be given, concerning the afterlife and where I will spend eternity, I want to research myself and follow the evidence.

Something to think about.. nostr:note17lvxgy6dd9pkjmz2ccuafspyhwl3gsrcjvxjkvj7uqtrh3xh70tstq0pwh


Please share. I’m not techy and haven’t figured out to to have a big reach on Nostr yet:

When I was 17, I signed up for the US Marine Corps. By the grace of God I failed their medical exam and never completed enlistment. One of my best friends from high school did.

Two years later, he called me in the middle of the night from Germany. He had been shot in Iraq and was being flown home for emergency treatment. The next morning I picked up his mom and drove the distraught woman who spoke very little English 23 hours straight, only stopping for gas, to be there when he got home.

In the hospital I watched as the nurse turned off the light in the room to shine a flashlight on his wound to check for infection. The bullet entered his back between his spine and his shoulder blade and mercifully made a turn to exit through his upper arm, missing any organs but shattering his arm completely. In that dark room I could see the light of the flashlight passing fully 9” through his body. I could also smell the rotting flesh from the infection she was checking for. The smell got worse for weeks before they got it under control. He was unbearable to be around and I will never forget that sweet acrid smell.

He took most of a year to recover and eventually tried to start a civilian life. Broken by war, he couldn’t hack it and eventually reenlisted serving at least two more tours of duty with the army. Last I heard he was a drill instructor teaching other young boys to do what broke him.

We’ve lived very different lives and have grown apart but still talk a couple times a year. The conversations are challenging for me but I try to remember his life has been vastly different from mine. He will often say things like “I need to get back to war, I miss killing people”. I have nothing to say to those comments. I just feel tremendous sadness for him, his family and for the lives he has destroyed under orders from the government I fund (under duress) through taxes and inflation.

That is what drives me to save in Bitcoin. It is the only way for me to shield some of the value of my labor capital from the military industrial congressional complex that has destroyed millions of lives around the world including in our own military.

Number-Go-Up is an incredible feature and one that I enjoy very much, but if I all I accomplish in being a Bitcoiner is forcing the government to be a little bit smaller and more accountable to the people it is intended to represent, that is enough for me. If one less mother has to bury a son, that is a worthy outcome.

It’s amazing to look back and see how God has lead, guided and directed our steps!

I appreciate that viewpoint. I’ll look forward to starting the book of Enoch soon. I haven’t intensively studied why some books are in the apocrypha and not in other Bibles. I guess that’ll be next on my list of things to research.


Amanda, I totally understand, from the standpoint of personal growth and from the standpoint of talking with people on hospice every day as a hospice chaplain.
What you’re talking about is definitely a worthwhile process that simply takes time. If we take advantage of each day during the process and don’t borrow tomorrow’s trouble, the journey is so much more enjoyable. It’s amazing to look back and see the progress as well!


I do want to read the book of Enoch. What are your thoughts about it as compared to the books of the Bible?


For a better morning,
Talk to God first

For a better night
talk to God last

For better life
talk to God all day

Wanna be Happy life?
Talk to God always

I want to #zap you 2,100 Sats!

Good morning #nostr! It has been about a month since I joined and I'm loving "Self-Soverign Social".

My challenge has been connecting with like minded folks, which is surprising because if we are both here on nostr we likley share at least an interest in decentralization and #bitcoin.

So I want to try a little experiment this morning. I have just under 500,000 sats or about $350 in my  nostr:npub1flm9yc3vhc3dj036pn3ysl5xwd4f5gyhyjnn9rzehs5mqe9y9ynq6qrg9q account, I want you to help me empty it!

Please follow me (if you are not already) and share this post and I'll zap you 2,100 sats until I run out or have to leave the office. It's about 8:45AM EDT, and I'll be zappin' until at least 3PM (or until I'm broke).

In theory this should yield about 235 paid engaugements, which will hopefully amplify my presance here and help me connect with some like minded folks.

Lets see how it works out, I'll share my results!

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
Ezekiel 36:26 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/ezk.36.26.NIV


Welcome and God bless!


Yes, absolutely right!
A good detoxification every so often is good: physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally.
I see from both ends of the life cycle. As a hospice chaplain, I see where older people have not taken care of their bodies, eaten badly for years, etc; then as a high school softball coach I see the girls use all of these dangerous cosmetics for the illusion of “beauty”. What we put in our bodies and homes definitely has an impact on the here and now, but especially on our future. Also, It takes intentionality and effort to live clean. Many aren’t willing to make the sacrifice, even though it’s just plain smart.


Oh my gosh! I knew about some awful chemicals, but not all of those!

Everything we go through, the heartaches, the darkness, the tribulations, will, if we let them, strengthen us, toughen us up and propel us to comfort and encourage those going through their own difficulties.

In persevering through our own issues, we can learn to love and encourage each other so that we can all be about fulfilling our purpose on this planet! https://image.nostr.build/f0f6e56febf22921c588fa43767eff4947560e91279e5d86762620f5eedd5fa1.jpg


Fear keeps us from doing amazing things in our lives. Fear keeps us from stepping out of comfort zones to pursue a dream. It keeps us in line when the gov’t gives us an order (even though they think they don’t have to play by the same “rules”). Fear keeps us in a comfortable, safe space instead of reaching our full potential. Fear is a killer, and yes, fear is a liar.

What if in overcoming our fears, we change someone’s world for the better? What if we run right past the fear of the “impossible” only to find that it was possible? What if we find true peace and joy by reaching out to others who are right where we used to be, struggling to make it? What if we choose to bulldoze fear and pursue/reach our goals and dreams?

We’ve got one shot; one life to live. Let’s narrow our eyes and set our jaws to overcome fear, no matter the odds, and no matter what others think. Let’s make a commitment to overcome our fears, step out of safe spaces and stand for what is right. In the process, God only knows who we will reach, empower and inspire! https://image.nostr.build/c60a83068fb8a97a8d39f09671fea3d23da06611c34dd5dae0c4929b18e3b3ab.jpg

Hey friend


Yes, so true Isa!


Haha, I love that!!


Absolutely agree, and was a public school teacher for 27 years!


Yes, you definitely should write your thoughts and what you’re leaning in a journal. Could be valuable info for your future self (seeing the progress), and to your family.

Your second thought was spot right on! I’m kicking around an idea of maybe starting a micro school in the future. Teaching from an early age not only reading, writing, math, spirituality, science, etc but also what money actually is, how to acquire and maintain. Fiat is awful, and kids need to understand truth instead of keeping an educational system that’s broken


Hahaha


Yep that’s right. We’ve got to take it upon ourselves to build generation wealth, passing down faith, knowledge, BTC, etc.
I wasn’t taught this, but I know now!


I couldn’t agree more


Oh man, is that a deer on the course?


That is definitely right, Jesus is our Savior


We don’t have college hockey where I live (closest team is 5 hours away), but we have a minor league team 2 1/2 hours away. I, my wife and my son had a blast at the game the other night. Been a hockey fan since 1980.


It’s pretty bold of a group to call themselves “the Church”. Actually “The Church” is the body of believers/Jesus followers, with the only central authority being Jesus and the Bible. Too many “church leaders” in any denomination think they are the authority because they stand before people and preach. All people should research and read the Bible for themselves and not take anyone’s word for it as to what it says.
A friend of mine that writes books (Mark Cahill) says QEQE; question everybody question everything. I like that.
I like your comment about grassroots and being locally driven. Even though the message of the Gospel is universal, like that of Bitcoin, I love the small groups, and the fact that people can interact peer to peer and not be forced to so certain things, act certain ways and use middle men.
Love, Good News, Freedom to choose and Redemption are indicative of both the Gospel and Bitcoin.


You’re speaking truth my friend

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals." - C S Lewis

Yes, absolutely!


Yes, I do. Brain overload is what is call it. In those times I feel that I should slow down, take a breath, say a prayer, and go back to the basics: Get out in nature, thank God for family, friends, life. Set your mind on peaceful, joyful times.

Now when those times come as I’m trying to sleep, and thoughts are bouncing around like a ping pong ball in my brain. I’ll get up, look at the wonder of the moon and stars, thank God for His guidance and focus on one thing. Might be reading a chapter of a book, reading a devotion, watching (even though it’s been said that watching tv or on phone at night isn’t good) a short clip of something, etc. before going back to sleep.
With all of the thoughts bouncing around, limiting my focus to one thing just usually seems to reset everything in my mind.


Absolutely!


Yep, you got that right!

Romans 5:1-11:
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoiced in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. "For one will scarcely die for a righteous person
-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die- & but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ° Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 1 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
