We thank you Lord Jesus Christ for healing our human brokenness and saving us from eternal death away from You. May we all gratefully accept Your invitation to the Easter Feast!

“Come you all: Enter into the joy of your Lord. You the first and you the last, receive alike your reward; you rich and you poor, dance together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and you who have not, rejoice today. The table is richly loaded: Enjoy its royal banquet. The calf is a fatted one: Let no one go away hungry. All of you enjoy the banquet of faith; all of you receive the riches of his goodness. Let no one grieve over his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed; let no one weep over his sins, for pardon has shone from the grave; let no one fear death, for the death of our Savior has set us free: He has destroyed it by enduring it…….

O death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?

Christ is risen, and you are abolished.

Christ is risen, and the demons are cast down.

Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice.

Christ is risen, and life is freed.

Christ is risen, and the tomb is emptied of the dead: for Christ, being risen from the dead, has become the Leader and Reviver of those who had fallen asleep.

To Him be glory and power forever and ever!

Amen.”

- from the Easter sermon of St John Chrysostom

Happy #Easter, #Nostr friends!!

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.

You don't want easy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.

Easy is not putting on your running shoes.

Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.

Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.

Easy is compliance.

Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.

Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.

Easy is starting up the money printer.

Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."

Easy is not educating yourself.

Easy is not taking responsibility.

Easy is trusting a third party.

Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.

Easy is not having to think.

Easy is not having to understand.

Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

yes, we're not going back, but we can get inspired. I would add some kind of energy production capacity (definitely solar panels, maybe a small wind turbine).

at least a starlink and some backup internet connection. maybe sell excess electricity for sats in the parking lot, have a delivery boxes for neighbors.

PSA

No, Invidious instances are not working.

Yes, a fix is being worked on.

Weird little show on Netflix that my wife found & we loved.

Bloodline.

Just for anyone looking for a show.
