We are in a spiritual battle....a battle between good and evil with one of the prizes being YOUR SOUL. Like our political parties (the 2024 election is evil vs. evil), Satan tempts you where you are weak. Stay strong, and put on your armor (Eph. 6:10-20).
This morning, reflection brought a wave of emotion.
23 years ago today, while working in my employer’s Chicago LaSalle Street office, I walked into the technology room to an eerie silence as my co-workers were glued to their computers (we had no TV on that floor). The news outlets were streaming shocking events, and my pager (yes, pager!) buzzed non-stop with alerts. It was 9/11—the day that forever changed our world.
Because I used public transit, I waited to head home until late morning, mindful of Chicago’s tall buildings. The commute, which typically took 30-45 minutes, stretched over two hours, ending with a long walk as buses ceased operations due to safety concerns. Cellular phone networks were overloaded and I had no way to tell family or friends that I was OK and headed home.
As we remember the victims, first responders, and survivors of that day, let’s also reflect on the importance of resilience. While we can’t prevent the unexpected, building resilience—individually and collectively—makes us better prepared. Start the conversation with your family, friends, or team today.
#Resilience begins with you. Let’s build it together.
Don’t let the urgent push out the important in your life.
Folks, if #snowpocalypse2024 has taught us anything it’s that we must build LOCAL support systems. Let’s build our #community & personal #network so we’re not so reliant on others. Start at https://myreadyplan.com/ #preparedness
September is National Preparedness Month. Before you scroll along I ask you this: how prepared are you? Find out by completing the questionnaire at myreadyplan.com . Answer honestly-you’ll get a document that’ll help you be even more prepared. #NPM2023 #TakeControl123
I’m using Damus on Mac and it’s working well for me. I just realized I need to add more relays (I did this on iPhone).

Be in the present. It may be the only cliche that lives up to its hype.
I know, I know…asking what wallet you prefer for Bitcoin & Lightning/Zaps is like asking an opinion on what car is best. I’m working through a course where they’re focused on ETH. So, Imma ask anyway….what wallet(s) for Bitcoin & Lightning do you use and why?
Anyone need a business continuity, disaster recovery, or resilience focused guy? I’m certified. 🙂 .

Getting something like a sharp stick in the eye while on a “town hall” call for work. Sigh.
