I don’t think it’s possible to explain the freedom that comes from get on zero until you actually make the leap and do it

The primary reason physical training of some sort is so impactful for the Christian is that the training mimics what it’s like to follow Christ so well.

In training, there are few low days, even fewer high days, but there’s a ton of nothing days. Not high, not low, just go out and do it.

We can use the same mindset used throughout this training to (correctly) continue turning towards God when, for the most part, it feels like nothing.

Of course in reality it’s not nothing, in training or holiness, but that only becomes clear after years of leaning into the nothing.

More & more I am seeing the benefit of hard work for hard works sake and nothing else.

Hard work with and end in mind other than the work itself is centered on that other thing.

Hard work as its own end forces one to live in the present and nothing else. And in that is where God is found.

Can we all agree that hardback books look way better without their covers on?

Every time I spin up a new node, or resync an existing one, I’m reminded of just how awesome Bitcoin is.

Excited for this read

Anyone have an opinion on Framework computer as compared to System76?

Your Bitcoin stack

When you took the leap of faith or went all in on your idea.

And I’ll tell you how bullish you are on Bitcoin.

Infinite banking - but instead of a whole life policy you have a Bitcoin backed LOC & you use the LOC to finance miners. Repay loan with miner profit.

I just love something about a simple Timex watch.

Weed is a shittier shit coin than alcohol tho

The best thing about being extremely fit at some point in your life is that it establishes a high anchor point to which you’ll continue to compare yourself. It forces you to desire being great & not just good enough.

Hey nostr. Long time no see. Who are the best follows on here now??

Oof yeah i couldn't imagine that. I'm off work for a few weeks and my wife isn't going back to work thankfully. Kudos to you both for that though!
