A fun story of thankfulness. In listening to various things on YT and coming across @ODELL and @Marty Bent talking about @npub1q7xq...90jl. Now my wife is in the rabbit hole. We have 6 kids (5 at home). Thankful for her helping us figure this out. We used to be members of Samaritan Ministries and okay experience. Then we needed a better alternative. Another dive into the healthcare “marketplace”. Ha, no. What scam health insurance is/has been/ will be. We’re heading for Crowd Health, so thank you.

GM friends. We have family in town for early Thanksgiving and had a blast last night. @btcforplebs took family pictures for us and it was actually fun. I can highly recommend him. Anyway, today is off with the crew to Amish country to get our city slicker fam out in the sticks for a short bit of stimulating the Amish circular economy (with fiat). I can’t help but think Amish families would be WELL served by Bitcoin. Secretly I bet they’re DYOR, just a hunch. Anyway have a lovely and wonderfully productive and joyful day where you are.

Gnite nostr friends. (My daughter dug this out from 2004). 😂

True story. Yesterday I saw @Oshi (推し) post something on nostr about being a customer and, confident I knew what he/sells #hodlbutter (of course), I jumped on board. And… I had no idea what I was about to buy, but knew it must be good. Thankful that I asked, because I could not have consumed the product that I was about to purchase 😂. A new lesson in: verify. 😂😛 TBH back in the day I would very much enjoyed the extra-terrestrial chocolates. I even have some stories. But that was another time and place (way back there). At any rate, I look forward to #hodlbutter and trying it with my local raw honey. Grace and Peace be to you.

GM friends. Long post, and this is a post for men. Fathers and husbands mostly. But women, be encouraged, this is for your man. Disclosure, I don’t expect all yall to see things my way but that makes it more interesting. I’ve seen a lot of people posting their declaration/proclamation that family is so important and declaring that on social media. It’s not just out there, it is very noticeable. This is encouraging to see, however a few things come to mind. First, as a husband you are greatly blessed. To find a wife that you can lay down your life for is no small thing. If you forget that let me remind you of that fact. I say this because I need reminders as well. I’m kind of pleasantly surprised that people are figuring this out. Pleasantly because family is indeed a blessing. Surprised because it’s been there all along. But it’s good that many are waking up to how important the family is. By this I mean family members in your immediate family, your spouse and your children. And here is the reminder part. Family can be hard. It’s real hard. But that fact doesn’t change anything about the permanence of family the need for stability and the father’s need to lead his family well. He can learn this even if he doesn’t know how. One thing he should not do is abandon his family. There are some who will say this is okay for some reason. Maybe in some sense, maybe. But for 99.999% of us men there is no excuse for leaving our wife and children. This has become way too common. I have stories I wish not to tell. As long as it depends on us we should be reminded that nothing is of higher importance than our wives and children, and we should remember that when it gets hard, because it will. I’m posting this because I have two sisters in the northwest who do not have any faith to sustain them. BOTH of their husbands recently left them and their children. Neither one of them have faith, neither one have Bitcoin (though I continue to work on their understanding) and both have teenage children. I know many reading this understand, but men we can not ever think it’s okay to abandon our wife and children. This is a deception sold us in a fiat world of paper lies, temptation and greed. Thanks for listening and I hope you have a beautiful and wonderful day today! (This is my daughter about 10 years ago isn’t she precious!)

GM nostr. ☕️ Had a crazy dream where I met @jack mallers and we had an amazing conversation where I recorded us talking about bitcoin and it was authentic. No distractions, no other people.

Hey nostr friends, welcome @Pallas to Nostr as I don’t think he’s been on nostr for very long. And because we’re on nostr we can just zap and send money around the world, without permission or censorship.

Gm friends, I sometimes post a pic of my coffee, because it may be especially tasty. Today I wanted to show you what I bought from a bitcoiner in Italy. This is a moka pot coffee maker and it’s stainless steel, made around 1950’s or 60s. It takes very fine grind. I thought I knew coffee but… I am still learning. Apparently it makes a coffee that is as good as espresso. We’ll see about that. Our dining/homeschooling table was a mess so bad pic.
