@rbreich Nothing wrong with free trips, I just doubt any actuality are.
@acnewberry As much we would like to believe that we can absolutely shape and mold our children, it really is wishful thinking. The best we can do is try to be healthy ourselves and most importantly PRAY for them in this fallen world. Glad this person was stopped and hope they turn things around.
@SarahAnneDipity @jamesp Curious to know how it goes and wish you luck. Cinnamon on Linux Mint is IMO the easiest out of the box distro for most people.
I think I'm going to make a collection of bedtime stories for Heidi with ChatGPT.
Holy moly!! Lightning caught mid-strike as it hits a tree. ⚡ 🌳 😲
I hope the photographer was using an extremely long-range telephoto lens, as lightning will travel along root systems, which can extend some distance away depending upon the type of tree.
Vertical photograph; click to see the full strike and whole tree (or what's left of it).
Photographer — Debbie Parker of West Virginia.
@Big_Diggity I agree. Now that you mention it, I definitely have switched to Yeshua in prayer. Not sure when that happened. Jeeeesus seems pretty grating, maybe to Him as well. “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It does seem weird to translate a name.
@dajb Love that show and remember the episode!
I have to admit that I really enjoy reading the Expanse books by James S. A. Corey. A lot of authors can be irritating at times or only good at certain kinds of stories, but Corey(a pen name for two guys) seems like he could write well in many genres. You care about the characters and many of the themes echo current events like good sci-fi ought to do.
@atyh Haven't heard this in a long time...

Causality, even on a "simple" quantum level is impossible to wrap one's head around. When you think about God's sovereignty, predestination, prophecy, free will, etc, about the only right responses are, "Yes, these are real, and I am not able to understand them." and awe. I'm guilty in getting caught up in all of that puzzlement instead of just doing the Great Commission.
@indie1337@vivaldi.net @CharismaticBatman The Chosen is pretty good; we're in the 3rd season. I was reading in Mark this week about "The Good News must first be preached to all the nations." and thinking that perhaps there are nations and peoples that don't even exist yet in that list. We just don't know how many sheep Jesus has.
