"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:21 House 2025 budget that passed last night, worth reflecting on where our priorities truly lie. Passed Bill here: [https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/119th-congress/house-report/4/1] #Politics #Faith #Matthew621

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" is being sung loudly from the chirps of birds sitting atop their lofty nest it is so loud that it can be heard all the way from the top's of the mountains and from sea to shining sea, they cry out to their worms, and the worms come marching only to be devoured.

I was talking about this last night. Does any rural person think Musk gives a crap about farms or understands farm subsidies?

Yep!

You want the world to really hate us, cause this is how you get the whole world to hate us. "This is how we get ants."

Yep, and all of this is easily verified using USASpending.Gov as a source to look it all up. People are just being mentally lazy because it's what they wanna hear and think.

It was never about efficiency, it's about vendetta. What does a department that is isn't even fully setup yet and only given authority to "improve" our IT systems and IT structures have anything to do with the way our Government spends its monies overseas? That is like the DOD going after Farmers.

@bsky.app I need more from you stat! I need an Instagram and Facebook live streaming replacement! I'm ready to shut the rest down!

My AI experiment for the day. Read it however you like. It was Gemini's idea not mine. I just asked the questions. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

When does the Instagram replacement come out? Anyone know the release date yet?

This past Sunday's Sermon, cold building, but we persevered, got the heat fixed, but not in time for anyone else to get there. Here is just the sermon portion. youtu.be/TXdQHhi46yk?...

Well, Thanks giving started out odd, we had steak, potatoes and cabbage, only to later receive a phone call that my dad was taken to the ER. He is in end of life care now. Prayers appreciated for him, the staff that has to put up with me. He's been really good to them this time.

This book shaped me as a child, I was a late diagnosis ADHD in my 20's. My Internal dialog has often referenced this book and its characters. Oh man, I want to cry in response to remembering this book...

Wanna hear me ramble on about reality, Queen, and Jesus in John 18, Watch this video then. I'm also just trying out YouTube links in BlueSky. youtu.be/ibR23nkWN98?...

Yes this!!! Please!!!!

Thoughts on Thanksgiving? When I was younger my extended family used it like Christmas. It was special to me. I got to see all my aunts and uncles and cousins and great aunts and it was a good memory. But that's all it is to me now, just a memory. You? How do you use this time of year?

My wife made this awesome life size hearthstone on her 3D printer. It can fit an Apple tag inside it. I like it because it reminds me to think about where I set my hearthstone. Where is my center, where in my past was is it safe to just appear into. Can I be the hearthstone for others?

1) As a Pastor how do you define the difference between what it means to be in friendship with people vs what it means to pastor a church? 2) Church, how do you separate the responsibilities, role, and calling of a Pastor from the expectations that come from having a friendship with the pastor?

Hear Church, Our Hope is not found in Temples easily destroyed. Temples that rot and fall apart, our Hope is not found in AC systems, or parking spots, Our Hope is not in the roof that is over our head today blocking out this rain, our Hope is in Jesus Christ. Mark 13:1-8 "Broken Temples"
