Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

I've been thinking a lot about my nearly 15 years away from the Greek Orthodox Church.

I've come to this conclusion - I don't know if I would have the same ethical values without that upbringing. It's easy to think I would when I had that foundation since birth, but I no longer think it's that simple.

I've been around a lot of secular people. Not all, but many are in a dark place. People who are missing something from their lives. Ones who didn't have an upbringing similar to mine.

I've begun to wonder if these people would benefit from religion in their lives. Some type of positive power to pull them out of the darkness.

I'm not saying I've found Jesus. I haven't.

But more and more I want to be around the people who have.

Because I can't really be around these other people any more. My wife & I have cut most of them out of our lives at this point.

We prefer to spend our time around positive people who are working on building better lives. Building families. Nearly all of them are religious.

We're both very logical people. Religion and logic were like oil and water to me.

But when I look at the state of the world, it's not hard to see the positive impact religion can have on people. That's a very logical conclusion I'm coming to.

Also, I miss a lot of the Greek cultural stuff that I grew up, and it's intertwined with the church. It would be strange, but I'm accepting the idea that returning there, even as someone who isn't religious, feels more right than not going.

Still working through this but wanted to share.

Because bitcoiners are how I got here. The ones having families, going to church, and being decent human beings. Those are the people I want to be around.

The alternative is despair and darkness, and I am not going down that road.

You got it backwards….Jesus found you.

His tears are from how much he loves. Not from fear.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Will you be my first? ☺️

Tonight my 5 year old when talking about tornados said “yeah if I die in a tornado then I’ll just get to live with Jesus and see Mimi”. Become child like!

Pump this right into my heart! And take up shop there Lord. You are the way!

Dude, literally my bitcoin North Star. Giving my kids and eventually their kids the mindfulness and means to fully immerse themselves in a whatever hero’s journey they are called to…basically the opposite of trying to get into Stanford starting in kindergarten lol

Gotta get out cash. Kids can slum it in public school if we crash!

After checking price today my fingers drifted over to Craigslist where I found myself configuring a search for a 15 year old moped
