@mikejackmin I think that’s reasonable. I love how everyone likes to say, “Just listen to your body.” when the truth is that mine will tell me to eat a whole pizza. Every day. 😂 Also diving into a big greasy burger first thing probably wasn’t a good idea.
@mikejackmin No, it’s nothing like that. The symptoms are temporary and if I eat meat more regularly, they go away. If I stick to once a week or two, I’m fine. Once a month and I’m sick. It’s like my system just forgets how to deal with meat. How bad might it be after 6 months or a year? Don’t really want to find out. Docs preach variety in diet, but I wonder if there’s any benefit to eating the same things and letting the body optimize for them.
Something I’ve noticed after eating plant-based for a while and then having some meat. I absolutely feel like I’ve been food poisoned and have aches. This has happened enough times that it can’t be a coincidence. I feel great eating only plants, but I don’t obsess about being 100%. I want to keep the option to be able to eat anything available. Anyone have an idea about what the mechanism is behind this?
@Sophistifunk Our Benihana has remained solid since it was a fad in the 90’s.
@Zennblack This is great.
@CSBHOTSQUAD You need to watch It Follows.
@rose_myrtle @rose_myrtle At some point, barring a world war, pretty much everything we can do will be able to be done better by machines. Being able to find joy and contentment from the work of your hands is such a valuable gift from God. It builds confidence, thankfulness, and an appreciation of our modern society. Teach her to learn, push herself, and not fall into the trap of comparing herself to others or processes that took generations to develop. Those who will most successfully be able to wield this new technology will be the ones who understand the fundamentals and how it came to be. Reinventing the wheel is partially necessary in every generation.
I was thinking about #influence today.
In a decade or so, most of the popular and debated theology books and Christian Bestsellers will be only available from second-hand bookshops and specialist libraries.
In a week or so, that viral tweet or popular toot will be all but forgotten.
But 408 years ago, a man called Nicolas Herman, was born in an unremarkable town to a peasant family. Much of his adult life revolved around doing dishes in a French monastery. As far as we know, he never wrote a single book, nor did he go on a promotional tour.
But he left a deep impact on people. So much so that, after his death, letters he has sent were collated into a book. This book, The Practice of The Presence of God, published under the name of Brother Lawrence, the name Nicolas took in the monastery, is still read today and still affects people, hundreds of years after he died.
One ordinary man's peace and desire to always be close to God affected generations after generations.
What does that mean to me?
I would rather chase what God says is meaningful than what the world rushes after. I'm probably not going to influence generations like Brother Lawrence but I can influence my family and I can seek the Kingdom first, just like he did, and just like Jesus told us too.
