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🤷‍♂️

Let’s see how I do in the church pie contest…

Timber is still a bit uneasy about the Jack-In-The-Box!

If the PRC is against something, there is a good chance that you should look into it if you love freedom.

Finally got around to messing with cryptocurrencies this week, despite reading the Bitcoin white paper not long after it was published. Here's my 2 cents. This is a pretty revolutionary and cool technology despite its cult-like following and I think it has staying power. The mining process uses a lot of power which some consider waste. What I consider most interesting is that a government's reaction to crytocurrency seems to be good gauge of a given society's freedom. I recommend trying it out.

Heidi and I had a downtown adventure today!

OK, I've been fairly successful with sticking to the WFPBD, but there are times when you're out with friends or it's been a long day and it's either fast food or nothing. Giving Taco Bell a shout-out for their nutrition transparency and relatively healthy possibilities. Take notes other fast food companies. People want to eat well and guess what? If your customers are healthy, they can give you money for a couple of decades longer than the average American.

Crispix is better than Chex. A bowl is like a time machine to the 80’s for me.
