This after more than 30 seconds trying to load. That difficult to load anything on home mining here on nostr? What am I missing?

“Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.

She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words:

‘How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?’

For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.

Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

‘Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord, They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬-‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Many of us have suffered in different ways growing up but I can. not. imagine what she (and many others) went through, or are living with. It’s hard enough just to get enough sleep ina “normal” life. I have brothers who suffer with nightmares constantly. The list goes on.

One thing for sure is that justice will be served. Perhaps not today but in time or some future block. I thank God for his grace because I would not be alive today without it. 100% I would already been guilty of murdering at least one pedophile I knew as a kid growing up. Also an abusive stepdad, so I’m familiar with cold anger that can run deep. With the Lord though I know justice will be served, and I fear Him, not man. I’m thankful he can carry the burdens because I can’t and won’t.

With that, my will would be to see justice served quickly on these evil blackhearted ones who say anything and smile while they plot murder and worse. The noose would be appropriate but too swift. Ahem I digress.

I love it that no one needs permission to post anything they want on nostr. May it grow large and decentralized. May it be a beacon of hope in the social media wasteland that many hate. March in nostr sister, post whatever you wish without permission!

nostr:npub1f07fly9xl3mzr2spk50hz93lm8a5hgt06l6y7kva2ja5we3wq26qp6dh6h we started talking about this last night 🤘

Beautiful, except that, in my visual mind I cannot see this. Can we ask AI to make me a graphic so my 🐢 mind can comprehend better? Thanks for letting me know! 🫡

Met nostr:npub1f07fly9xl3mzr2spk50hz93lm8a5hgt06l6y7kva2ja5we3wq26qp6dh6h tonight at the Bitcoin Meetup.

It’s still the coolest feeling on earth to meet another nostrich IRL!!

So fun! Many bitcoiners I find are not on nostr. Then when we find we have another layer in common — Yippee! Logen, promise me in our next meeting you help unpack relays for me. I don’t think I’ll understand nostr until I understand that.

Anyway, lots to learn and grow in!

“Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?

Who has gathered the wind in His fists?

Who has bound the waters in a garment?

Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”

What is the beginning of wisdom? It is owning and accepting that we are forgetful. We forget where our identity lies. It is understanding my hope is not found in *my* knowledge.

It is understanding that my identity is not found in material possessions.

It is fully owning that my identity is not rooted in my relationships: not my wife, not my children.

I understand that my identity is not in my works or my excellence or my *perfect* tendencies. Notice how many times the word “my” is used in that last sentence.

I’ll make the confession, I have identity amnesia. Many of us forget what or who our identity is in. I didn’t do the work on the cross, Jesus did. It is His glory and his alone. “My” works don’t do anything except puff me up.

With that, here’s some beautiful verses from Psalm 27 to help you (especially in times of trouble) remember who your identity is in:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.

Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Bonus for reading this far: Hat tip to Paul Tripp for reminding me of this in his Liberate sermon from 2014

Trevor I’ve always been endurance minded, not bulk. Swimming, cardio followed by some weights but mostly pushups, pull-ups, abs. Mostly I’ve slacked in later years. 😆

With that said, I aim for 3x/week schedule,

day 1 - cardio (30 minutes, 9 or 10 incline on treadmill), followed by lots of leg and lower back stretches followed, by core stuff, planks, etc., followed by some pull-ups or pushups or whatever muscle groups I’m targeting.

Day 2 is same except I go with different muscle groups.

Currently day 3 is on the ice rink for 2 hours of cardio playing hockey with the 40+ mens. Cant beat $16 of ice time for 2 hours. Hydration is huge. Creatine and electrolytes currently, probably should fine tune tho.

I always say “nothing like Dad making made to order omelettes with farm fresh eggs” Of course I trained my kids to say it! 😛 (also homemade bread with local raw honey) 😋

I totally ripped this off from some creative memester. Credit to them. Not pharmacology or medical advice 😂

Praise God from who all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below, praise him above you heavenly praise, father son, and Holy Ghost.

Need Jesus today?

“Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease!

Will you set your eyes on that which is not?

For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.”

“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. The rich and the poor have this in common, The Lord is the maker of them all.

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips, So that your trust may be in the Lord; I have instructed you today, even you.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭2‬, ‭6‬, ‭12‬, ‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Hey Carl! How’s the mousin going?

In order to maximize fruit try a goblet style pruning method with four sub trunks instead of one central leader. Sorry if all that makes no sense.
