Beautiful! Long range forecast says Birmingham may get a little snow Tue week, Jan 21. Hope it’s true
I think the really funny thing is that God didn't take any revenge against them. It's their own arrogance and faith in civilization verses nature.
This is pretty clear on God's opinion of their mockery:
From Matthew... This is Jesus Speaking:
"MAT 5.43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
MAT 5.44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
MAT 5.45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

So God isn't into revenge. Everything is powered by God. God distributes his grace equally and without favor. We just need to acknowledge the source of our life.
The arrogance of these celebrities is anger twisted by their impression of what Christianity and Righteousness is. We all are sinners and we all are arrogant. The key is to accept Jesus' sacrifice and learn from his example when we are healthy and strong as well as when we are weak.
In our anger against them we are no different than them. It's not an easy pill to swallow. But it's clear in the text of Matthew that Jesus is not advocating that God is about revenge.
True
Your words are so true. Wisdom is of utmost importance. Those questions are important also. As I reflect, I want to be able to have led my family well, been kind to others, been faithful to God, used my valuable time wisely, learned from my many mistakes, etc.
You are so right that our learnings need to be shared with others. You never know who you can inspire to press on. Yes, PV
Apart from my wife, I have no bitcoiners in meatspace to relate this to, so I’m just gonna leave this here. No one will probably read it, but I just want to get this off my chest. Who knows, maybe it will do some good and inspire someone.
I think one of the most underestimated aspects of bitcoin is how it secretly spills over into other parts of your life. Yes, bitcoin is money in the digital age, yes, it’s a finite black hole that will absorb other asset classes, yes, inflation is theft, yes, it can make a median income earner a massive millionaire when done right. But the most underrated aspect in my eyes, and this is propagated by fellas like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, is it made me realize how insanely valuable my time is.
When this realization occurred, I made it my number one priority to optimize for my time. So while working the fiat mines for the better part of the last decade, every time I earned a promotion or got a better job, my aim was not to earn more, but spend less time earning the same.
Yes, I could have spent more time in the mines and easily earned 2x of what I did, bought more of the coin with said earnings and be a rich fella with a much bigger car and a much bigger house by now, but you know what? Fuck that!
In stead, I got to be there for my parents, my wife and my kids, take care of them, watch them grow, do volunteer work in the local community, and pursue my hobbies, all while showing the kids that it’s OK to work for a living and contribute to society, and that it’s not normal to get retirement-rich off some crazy bet in your younger years.
Understanding the value of my time, thanks to studying bitcoin, was a life altering moment for me, and I am forever grateful for this realization. No amount of money, bitcoin or otherwise, is worth this lesson learned and the life and experiences it provided.
Who knows, with this in mind, you can look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the extremely confrontational question: what am I doing with my time?!
Excellent perspective!
Time is so valuable
Wow, look at the picture I took in Alabama a week or two ago. Very similar! 
Hope you get a good night’s rest
I’m convinced that life is all about relationships and experiences.
Difficult experiences teach us lessons what we can’t learn during the good times. They make us stronger and better prepare us for the journey ahead. Good experiences make life worthwhile, help us to take chances and do hard things.
Relationships drive our lives; our relationship with God and others. They shape our perspectives and add so much value. Life is fleeting. It goes by so fast. It is precious. Thank God for all that you have been blessed with, tell those in your life that you’re grateful for them and love them; use experiences to enjoy others and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Goodbye 2024. There were highs and lows, heartfelt times and heartbreaks. We made it through, growing as people and learning all that we could learn. It was a great year and a difficult year, and I am thankful for the experiences that came my way.
Hello 2025. Endless opportunities and possibilities. Looking forward to living life, reaching goals, loving family/friends and doing new and exciting things.
Time is short. Live, laugh and learn every day. God bless you all! 
Yes, improvement/decline in personal areas throughout year, what I learned for the difficult times and how to move forward, personal goals for the year, what do I want to do to impact lives of others this year, etc.
Time is very short. Healing comes slowly from loss. Be kind to yourself during that healing process. Learn/experience something new during the year. Personally I want to grow in faith in God and help others through difficulties.
God bless you!
