Good Morning Nostriches! (re)Discovered a few things yesterday. 1. turning off the tech; having the son (voluntarily) turn over his phone did wonders for him and us as his parents yesterday 2. taking a family day was: A. much needed B. we have to get back into diligently scheduling those (we've been all going in different directions for a few months and it has taken its toll on us) 3. When did sub sandwiches from a chain start costing $18? And it's not like I was at Katz's getting a world famous Pastrami...no we are talking Jersey Mikes...nothing special... SO...we asked our son...look at the price...do you really want to pay that much or do you want to just get all the fixin's at the store and make subs at home... "let's go" he promptly said as he hustled out the door. Over the last 1.5-2 years we've been intentional about eating out less. (We used to eat out practically every day in some form or fashion). Not only has it helped us be better stewards of the finances God has entrusted to us; practically eliminating eating out over time as helped us recognize how much less expensive it is to grow or buy the fixin's ourselves. I haven't quite convinced the misses to move from gardening to animal husbandry...but I'm actively looking for local relationships with those whom already do. In the meantime I'll just buy direct from them. Ok y'all... Need to start the morning routine and the day. Not sure entirely what it entails but I'm sure it has something to do with leadership = relationships 😁 Cheers and God bless your day! P.S.

I have to agree here! A few years ago I got into a slump. It was part burnout part taking care of my wife. But I let myself get into a consumption instead of creating MO. Thankfully I’ve fixed that now. But yea…just putting in the work (aka taking action) does wonders! View quoted note →

Welp...Good Morning has become GA...arguably Good Evening! It's been a full day. I'm getting things completed, but a couple of big items still remain. I want to meal prep with my son, have a call with the grand-parentals in a couple hours, and would love to review some homeschooling stuff for my son. Early this morning I did sit down for devotions. Recently I've been reading through the Psalms...one-ish a day or one every few days...I've never actually read the entire book of Psalms. Some people write it off as poetry. But when you actually dig into it, and not even dig deep, there is obvious prophetic scripture within Psalms. One thing that jumped out at me today was Psalms 22:27-29 "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before You, for kingship belongs to the LORD; He rules over the nations. All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust will kneel before Him — even the one who cannot preserve his life." Now the "the one who cannot preserve his life" is what had me digging. Immediately I went to the cross references to try and figure out who that is... When you look at the cross references, in particular Phillipians 2:10 scripture says everyone regardless of location (in heaven, on earth, or hell “under the earth”) will bow and praise Him as King. This is interesting to me as I recall (was taught?) people will suffer in Hell in torment…and I’m sure this is still the case (I’d have to research it more) but here we see plainly that ALL... everyone will bow before Him [Christ, the King of Kings]. So...even those who cannot preserve their life, those in Hell...will also "remember and turn to the LORD." Man God is soooo good and His Word is truly alive. Thank you Holy Spirit for revealing this to me.

"...it’s amazing how much time you have to read when you turn off the TV." - Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson Wish I was better at this LOL. In this season where sitting with a book has become harder. Not that my time is spent watching "tv"...merely, that which I'm working on requires focused depth. Things like investing in my son...the ROImage-bearer of that time will be multiples more than the time spent reading a book (and certainly watching). Create more than your Consume! This is a good life MO.

Good morning Nostriches! I’m usually an early—early bird waker…up by 4-5am. Sometimes my brain turns on at 2 or 3 🤦🏻‍♂️ While it was that early this morning, I had a real hard time getting my brain to shut off so whilst in bed, sleep alluded me until midnight or so. Which leads me to, alarm goes off at 6am… I know I haven’t gotten enough sleep so I adjust it to 8am… But of course 🧠on 🤨 So I get up… Walk down the hall… Light emitting from teenage son’s bedroom. I open the door… “Hey dad!” “Hi son…why are you on video games at 6 in the morning?” “Oh [friend’s name] texted at 4am…neither of us could sleep.” Good grief! At least it wasn’t porn…or I guess he could of been hacking LOL Cheers y’all and God bless your day!

Hmmm that’s an interesting concept…you can attach bounties to posts to reward engagement… Not sure how I feel about that as it seems like a bribe to me and inauthentic engagement. I think I’d rather have real engagement instead of bought engagement… Thoughts?! View quoted note →

#asknostr Re: @primal app on iOS It has not worked for me in months… Basically, some content loads (main feed) but notification feed just keeps flashing like it’s trying to load. The app is up to date version wise, so my only that at this point is to uninstall and reinstall it. I just want to make sure if I do so, are there any steps I need to take to protect my relay list/npub or is it a simply uninstall, restart phone, reinstall, log back in with nsec process? (I do have my nsec and I should have my Primal username and password for when I originally started on Nostr, although I primarily use YakiHonne as my client now…I still need access to a secondary client such as Primal on my phone for quick research/copy-paste etc)
