This is where I want to be. There’s so many factors to it that are more subconscious I think. Logically, I understand that energy fluctuates and rest is essential, but then my mind wanders to how much rest is essential and how much work is essential. Then of course, there’s the observations of highly productive people around me and the self-comparison. It can be a real mental mess, but I do believe that accepting it as just what it is, is probably the healthiest way to look at it.

Having one of those poopy days. I feel very uninspired and unmotivated. I tend to value myself based on my productivity. When I get nothing done, I feel like nothing. I also tend to feel shame when I am not able to just turn my mood around and “be positive”. When I’m not in a positive mindset, my urge is to isolate so I don’t infect anyone else with my negativity. Like posting this is weird for me, but I’m curious if anyone else feels or has felt similar.

Ok! Getting very excited about this Bible study!

Reviewing the replies, it looks like Wednesdays 18:00 EST / 22:00 GMT on Nostr Nests works the best. Except in the near term, April 10th and 24th don’t work well for me, and May 1st doesn’t work for Ale.

I propose we begin meeting for Bible study May 8, but as a prayer group at this time for whoever is able to do so starting whenever! I will at least plan to have a prayer Nest on April 17th and May 1st.

As this will be a custom “curriculum,” starting next month also gives a little time to pull something together beyond just winging it 😂

The plan is to read the Gospels (or at least start with one of them (probably Luke)) and then examine places in the Old Testament that foreshadowed Jesus, then kind of spiral out in a context-gaining exploration until we eventually gain some exposure to the whole Bible.

I’m looking forward to exploring the Bible with you!

Please pray that this will be a fruitful endeavor and that our minds will be filled with insight and understanding as we seek God’s face in the Word.

My name is Ryan, aka, Sheesh! First post in this app! I’m just a guy trying to share God’s Word. Normally on TikTok live we do Bible studies and we go through each book in an expositional manner (verse by verse) and we try to do a deep dive. It’s good to be here!

Yes I agree it's cool that it can be carried around easily but so can the other cryptocurrencies. I would argue it's not really an FU to governments when it's being integrated into their systems and people are paying taxes on it now though.

I don't hate bitcoin, I don't think you are stupid for liking it, I don't think it's a bad investment for fiat gaining purposes. I just don't think Bitcoin has much of a purpose other than that anymore. You don't have to agree with me, that's ok. I know I'm going to get plenty of hate for this I'm sure, but I want it to be clear that by saying this I'm not attacking anyone, I'm simply giving my opinion. Crucify me as you will.

Good night ✌️🧡

What if it a white butterfly 🦋?

I’ll never understand the obsession with sauces, marinating and cooking oils.

Quality meat contains high concentrations of animal fats which allow it to cook brilliantly and yield phenomenal flavors. Lil salt and I’m a happy minimalist.

Good day!

Me too. Toby is summing it up perfectly

I’ve so much to do today and so little enthusiasm 😂

Please don't stop praying for them. They need it more than most.

Non-violent or civil disobedient-type resistance is effective, but, I'm not going to sacrifice my life to that ideal since I don't agree with it when it comes to being a martyr. I'd rather fight and live longer than die passively. 🤷‍♂️

Well he has been eating a lot 😳

Been thinking recently about this and I do think it’s been a net negative.

I had far fewer occasions to get angry or blackpilled, and more time being productive and fully present, when I spent zero time on social media. Nostr definitely included on all counts.

And I have a really clear memory to show me this contrast because I had basically been on a social media fast for 10 years, 2010-2020.

Not sure what I will do about this, especially now that I’m a parent 😅 on the one hand, it seems like an obvious choice to leave all social media, especially on a bad day. On the other hand, I’ve learned a great deal on faith, parenting, and art/professional fronts in Facebook groups, and made friends and money on Nostr. The thought that there is such promise on Nostr is keeping me here as much as habit.

It's not hard: you stop them from killing you or your family or friends. If that means you have to kill them, so be it.

Jesus didn't condemn the Centurion who had assuredly killed before in order to become a centurion, and was praised as having great faith.

We are counted abd brothers and sisters of Christ, The King, and as such, we are to wage war on our enemies as is befitting ones who rule with Christ.

That does not mean just to pray at people. Sometimes it means to end them if they are doing evil. Sometimes that is the only way for us to stop them. That may be something you disagree with, but, at one said and will say again: I will not be made a victim if I have the means and ability to defend myself and my loved ones, and yeah, we're supposed to love everyone, but... Ebbed Jesus had his favorite disciple, so that just means it's a matter of degree, not kind.

Our generation has been through so many technological changes and seen so much corruption in the world we have no choice but to persist and stand up, and that includes the minor inconveniences.
