You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

If you struggle with any kind of addiction,
You can fight it and you can win.

It all starts with a decision.
A decision stop and to change.

Seek medical/mental help.
Seek the help of God if you believe.
But you can fight it and you can win.

Yes you can.

sat next to a guy on a flight who smelled like old money

rolex. tailored suit. reading a physical newspaper like it was 1987.

figured he was some finance executive or inherited wealth.

we got talking. I mentioned I sell stuff online.

he put down his newspaper.

"what kind of stuff?"

digital products. courses. ebooks. that kind of thing.

he smiled weird.

"I made $4 million last year selling a PDF about aquariums."

I thought he was messing with me.

he wasn't.

this guy is 61 years old. spent 30 years as an accountant. hated every second of it. retired at 55 with decent savings but nothing crazy.

his hobby was aquariums. had been keeping fish tanks since he was 12.

"my wife told me to start a blog so I'd stop boring her with fish facts."

so he did. wrote about aquarium stuff 3 times a week. water chemistry. tank setups. fish compatibility.

for 2 years nobody read it.

"I had maybe 50 visitors a month. all probably bots."

but he kept going because he had nothing else to do.

year 3, one article ranked on google. then another. then another.

suddenly he was getting 100K visitors a month. all people searching for aquarium help.

"I realized these people would probably pay for a complete guide. so I wrote one."

147 pages. everything about setting up and maintaining an aquarium.

priced it at $47.

first month: $6K
first year: $340K
last year: $4.2 million

from a PDF about fish tanks.

I asked about his marketing strategy.

"I don't have one. google sends people to my blog. blog mentions the guide. people buy it. I go play golf."

no email sequence?

"I have a newsletter. I send fish tips once a week. sometimes I mention the guide at the bottom. that's it."

no upsells?

"I made a second guide about saltwater tanks specifically. $67. people who bought the first one usually buy the second. that's my whole business."

no team?

"my wife helps with customer service. we get maybe 10 emails a day. most are just people showing us their tanks."

this 61 year old retiree built a bigger business than most "entrepreneurs" I know.

no ads. no funnel hacks. no growth strategies. no personal brand.

just mass expertise in one weird niche and patience to let it compound.

before we landed he gave me advice I didn't ask for:

"everyone your age wants to get rich fast. that's why most of you stay broke. I wrote about fish for 2 years before making a dollar. now I make more than I did in 30 years of accounting. speed is overrated. patience pays."

the plane landed. he grabbed his newspaper and walked off.

probably went home to feed his fish.

The mind is such a strange place.

Two days ago, I had a 6 hour streak where I felt this sudden cloud of unhappiness beset me.

Happy in the morning. Late afternoon, ununderstandably sad. I couldn't figure it out.

Then, I did a quick mind bing.

"Where is this from?"

No baptism, no communion, no confirmation, no speaking in tongues, no mission trip, no volunteerism, no financial gifts, and no church clothes. He couldn't even bend his knees to pray. He didn't say the sinner's prayer.

He just believed.🙌
