β‘ for being a good dad and trying something new
Avoidance pays off short-term. It is a pathway to misery and regret.
Pursuit, even if it hurts, will yield the outcomes you hope avoidance will bring.
Pick your pain
Is this streaming brood war?
Showed this to my wife so we can save some sats on her pedicure treatments
Loving the energy. Thanks for the report!
Okay now you have to provide proof of cats! π€
Disgusting
What's the best android client for nostr these days? I use Iris but also Amethyst sometimes now.
What's up this evening, Nostriches? How do you do?
What's something you're thankful for today?
So freeing.
We aren't privy to the internal behaviours of others (thoughts), but if we were, we would realize a lifechanging truth: everyone's own mind is mostly busy with what pertains to themselves and is replete with unhelpful and inaction-creating self-criticism. Knowing this, without trying to struggle with these thoughts, we are more free to do what matters even with the presence of a berating mind. No one really cares about the things about us we think they do, it's up to us to care about our own lives enough to improve them through committed action.
Acceptance brings meaningful change.
Work and and birth were before the curse, but because of sin are not as fruitful as they were, and will be redemption and restoration of the earth - the reunion of heaven and earth, and man and God. We are not manicheans or gnostics. Greeks in ancient times had a really hard time with Christianity because of how earthly and fleshly it is. The logos? Become flesh? Scandalous
How so? Our creation mandate irreparably connects humanity to working the earth and our physical bodies. It's a popular and unhelpful myth that Christianity does not concern natural things.
Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. π
In terms of the whole image of God, the expression of humanity, there is both similarity and complementarity, such that with each other we are enough, the complete image of God - sufficient for one another's needs and the tasks required of each of us.
In Genesis 2 God saw that it was not good for man to be alone (man, whom he tasked go have dominion over creation as a sub-regent). To address this, he made woman out of man. He now judged this: very good.
Adam was made from earth, with a main creational purpose to work. Eve was made from man, with a main creational purpose of relationships.
Man is all the things woman is not. Woman is all the things that man is not.
So many stories of people hurting financially out there
Have you guys seen the new firmware update for the worldcoin orbs? Pretty cool.
Guys, I've been meaning to write this for a bit but I'm coming out as a worldcoiner.
The klaus schwaub orbs are just to cool and I love centralization, with so many historical examples of central planning ending in utopia. I don't use my freedom for good anyway and now the WEF in their prophetic wisdom can save the world and look after me too.
As many as determined until the triumphal return of God's own champion, the redeemer, Jesus Christ.
In the same page-length as the delivery of this curse, God promises the coming snake-crusher in verse 15b to free us from our condition as transgressors in the opening chapters of the bible.
Remember, O man, that you are dust, and to dust you will return.
