I really just thank God for life 🙏🏿: it’s a gift.
It’s not always fun or pleasant or happy; but man, it really is quintessentially a gift.
In the deepest place of my heart: I really want, after all is said & done and my life is gone, to have been a good steward of this gift.

Don’t be afraid to be the "Jesus person" in your industry. Excellence is a form of evangelism.
When your work is undeniable, they have to respect the God behind it.
Chronic kidney disease is not only a grueling illness, but also one that drains patients financially. In Bashir’s case, it has forced him to put his dreams on hold.
But there’s something we can do - we can support him, no matter how little, by contributing towards his treatment.
Imagine losing four daughters on the same day?
That was what Horatio Spafford had to go through in 1973 when the ship his 4 daughters and wife boarded collided with another ship. Only his wife survived.
Just two years before in 1972, he had lost his only son, then a fire outbreak in Chicago had left him bankrupt.
On his journey to join his wife, he wrote the lyrics to “It Is Well With My Soul” as his ship sailed past the exact spot he lost his daughters.
A lot of us imagine what Lot in the bible must have gone through, Horatio Spafford went through something similar in real life.
@Freyy_is Christianity is not self-erasure. It’s the recovery of your most authentic self — who you were when God made you, before the world reshaped you. In Christ you don’t lose yourself. You find the truest version of you.
Don't everrrrrrrrrrrrrrr forget the tremendous privilege that it is to be healthy, to have a job and food. Don't minimize it, nor ever lose sight of it. And above all, be grateful for it.
Long shot but a friend is undergoing dialysis and he needs financial support. If any of you kind people knows a charity/foundation that handles such cases, please put me through to em.
Seriously? A picture of Jonah just chilling in the belly of the great fish like it was some luxury boat cruise?
Looks like ur the one who needs to grow up and stop reading the Bible like a childrens picture book flipping past the cute illustrations.
If youre gonna mock it at least get the story right.
The text doesnt say Jonah survived in the great fish…it wasnt a refuge; it was a tomb.
You atheists love to pretend that Jonah was just hanging out in the fish….maybe even taking a nap or two to pass the time.
Utter nonsense. Jonah prayed while he was still on the boat, as the sailors threw him overboard and he continued praying from inside the belly of the fish…until he drowned.
Read his own prayer from inside the fish:
“I called out to the Lord, out of my distress…
From the belly of Sheol I cried and you heard my voice…
The waters closed in over me to the point of death;
the flood surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head;
I went down to the roots of the mountains;
the earth with its bars closed upon me forever…
Yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.” (Jonah 2:2–6)
He prays from Sheol….the Old Testament place of the dead. He says the waters took him “to the point of death.”
Seaweed wrapped around his head and the earth barred him in forever.
Thats not a guy whos just uncomfortable….thats a man describing his own death.
So yes…..Jonah died in the belly of the great fish.
The miracle wasnt that he survived underwater for three days.
The miracle was that God raised him from the dead after the fish vomited his dead body onto dry land.
And thats exactly the sign Jesus pointed to:
“But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign; and so no sign will be given to it except the SIGN OF JONAH the prophet; For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matt 12:39-40)
Jesus didnt say “as Jonah lived in the fish…”
He pointed to Jonahs death and resurrection as a sign of His own.
Jonah died. God raised him.
Jesus died. God raised Him.
Thats the parallel…not a three day aquarium stay.
The sign of Jonah isnt survival.
Its resurrection. Full stop.
Do not rush out of the slippery bathroom to pick your calls. Cultivate the habit of calling back when you are done instead. Airtime is far cheaper than brain surgery.
Think of a digital image. On the screen, you see a face. But at the fundamental level, there is no "face", there is only a grid of numbers.
Wilczek suggests the physical world works the same way. Atoms aren't "stuff"; they are localized bundles of information being processed by the laws of physics.
