@Loraine thanks for the follow

Sometimes when I wake at 3am I’m able to go back to sleep after being up for a couple hours. Sort of like an “early morning nap”. I’m 99% sure that isn’t gonna happen today 🤦‍♂️ Issue 1 Opened coffee cabinet door and out flys the tea steeper…of course its metal; bounced off the counter three times, hit the fridge, crashed to the tile floor (who knew metal on tile was so damn loud!), then nestled its spinning ass between the fridge and counter. Gonna have to grab the grabber tool to retrieve when I feel like it. Issue 2 Sometimes when I’m up this early I’ll proactively take the dogs potty; you know, just in case I do fall back asleep…so I don’t have to wake up mid-sleep, again… So. Like a good husband and dog-daddy I usher the girls out of the bedroom, close the door so my wife can sleep. At this point its obvious bog dogs need to go potty so I’m committed to it now. I grab the flashlight and asp (we live near the woods so bears, raccoons, wild cats…) Well wouldn’t you know it?! Three friggin wild cats in our entry way… Well two protective Shih Tzus chasing 3 cats up and over the mulch pile, through the woods; to grandmother’s house we go 🤦‍♂️ Thankfully I didn’t have to chase them too far…once the threat of the cats were deemed non-existent we got on with our potty excursion and returned to the front lawn. If this is how the rest of the day is going to go, I’m clocking out and going back to sleep 🤪 Oh…Good Morning Nostriches!! #GM

Something about this verse hits differently this morning… “For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

During devotions this morning (oh and GOOD MORNING NOSTRICHES!) I’m finishing up a book written by a former pastor, now business man / retired. “The world will keep offering cheap substitutes: - Passivity that numbs your purpose and silences your leadership - Fake strength that masks insecurity with dominance and control - Aimless scrolling that trades real focus for distraction - Avoiding people, conversations, and hard projects in the name of busyness - Barking orders instead of earning respect - Relying on titles or positions instead of building trust - Living by double standards while demanding others step up - Playing the victim instead of taking responsibility None of that reflects the character of Christ. Biblical manhood calls you higher. It calls you to live with conviction, consistency, and courage. Not to retreat into comfort or to dominate others, but to lead with integrity and serve with strength. That is the standard.” The “Aimless scrolling [finding a show to watch] that trades real focus for distraction” is an area I need to be mindful of in the moment and proactively combat! How about you? Anything from this list (or something else) Holy Spirit is convicting you of (or has convicted you in the past that you’ve overcome)? #GM #Coffeechain #teachain #Wisdom #God #Jesus #Bible #Biblestr

Good Morning Nostriches! I’m always “sur-pressed” (surprised + impressed) with how God aligns my reading of His word with what I need for the day 🤯 Without fail, whatever I’m struggling with, He always meets me where I am. The crazy part for me is I’m currently reading Romans verse by verse. So the probability in human mathematical terms of me randomly reading precisely what I need when I need it is variably improbable. Yet, here we are.. “What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything? Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the One who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the One who died, but even more, has been raised; He also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: Because of You we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Good Morning Nostriches! (Trying to get back in the habit of being with my peeps early in the day) This passage jumped out at me as I was reading the Bible this morning. “For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly. For rarely will someone die for a just person — though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Specifically the phrase “Christ died for the ungodly”… There is so much hate in this world and one side blaming the other side. Even here on my beloved NOSTR I frequently see notes dogging those still on X or not yet as deep into Bitcoin as another. To think…Christ died for all those ungodlies 😉😇 But seriously; murderers, thiefs, tyrants, democrats AND republicans 🤣, homosexuals and heterosexuals, Jews and Gentiles… Christ died for us ALL so that we wouldn’t have to. God sent His only son to die not for “good” people, but for sinners becasue that’s what we all are. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. —- Makes me consider the amount I pray for believers vs the ungodly I know (or at large). I can do better at praying for the ungodly that they may come to know Christ, becasue that’s why He came, so that all may know the love of the Heavenly Father, God. P.S. most of us have family or friends that need Jesus, so we don’t have to look that far to begin prayer for the ungodly. #GM #Biblestr #Bible #Wisdom #Jesus #God #Love #Faith

Hello again lovely people… It’s been too long, so Good Morning! Man since April when my wife’s aunt passed, life has been a whirlwind. I always knew helping aging family was going to happen. I guess in my head I just didn’t know when or rather thought “in a few years”. But God oft has different plans and timelines for us! Truth be told I wouldn’t change the last several months. In fact I value the fact that I’ve had the available time to be of service to them. (The free BBQ lunches my uncle-in-law pays for helps too 🤣🥩♨️) Interestingly I found myself briefly on X this morning then like a slap upside the head I said “what am I doing?! There is better and more accurate news on NOSTR! So…here I am for a few minutes today. I’ll do better with my presence here…it’s merely that I truly try to live the Heirarchy of Relational Leadership: 1. God 2. Self 3. Family 4. Others This season has me in the first 3 tiers right now. 🙏 God bless and here’s to everyone’s best ☕️☕️ #GM #coffeechain

Is it just me or does the US seem to be operating just fine with nearly a million people furloughed? I for one haven’t felt an impact. Onward! #POW #asknostr

I needed to hear this today, so I’m sure someone else does too! When the time is right, the LORD will make it happen.

Ahem… Hello again 🤦🏻‍♂️🫣🤩 How much longer are you going to avoid what you are capable of doing so that you can continue to be comfortable with what you are doing? (I’m meditating on this today!)
