A riddle for you...

Was thinking about what blockchain/cryptocurrency technology might look like in a pre-electronics world. Carrier pigeons, human computers, libraries? Obviously things would be much slower, but I wonder if it would have been practical for some use cases.

@neauoire Did you ever see this?

@gina Think this is open now?!

Who doesn’t like running in and out of cold storage on a hot day?

Lately in life I have been noticing a needless, ever-growing complexity of things. Things that should be simple take a lot of time, or are impossible, to understand. Reasons are given, of course, such as quality, scalability, etc. The over-complication of something is a good sign that evil is present. The Gospel of Christ was delivered to us in a way that anyone could understand and share. I think church autonomy is vital and this Docent Group stinks.

He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son."

Me: So how would you make the world a better place?
Wife: You know how Israel has mandatory conscription?
Me: Yeah?
Wife: Have that, but for the food and other service industries. Maybe it would help people to not be so terrible to each other.
Me: 🤔

“I believe distributed ledger enables the kind of central control they’ve never in their worst nightmares contemplated”

I'm more of a futurist when it comes to how I read Revelations, but I respect and understand different interpretations. Still, don't be surprised when the Beast of Revelations shows up. The powers that be will try to stamp out Christianity and they will fail. Don't give up or worry if this all unfolds in our lifetime. Jesus will be back.

I was surveying an old street this morning and checking the flow line in the curb and gutter. Up the street I noticed a pool of standing water where someone either designed or built the gutter incorrectly. At first I just shook my head at the carelessness, but then I noticed several sparrows bathing and drinking the water. To them this was a place of life. It is a great wonder and mystery how God can use our mistakes for good.

The gauntlet has been thrown down. It landed on a toe.

2nd place, hard to beat apple pie🤷‍♂️
