Building my own house on a mountain in South Africa.

@tafolaI8 Well, that didn't go to plan, did it? 🤣

@Nicolo668063258 If you recognise the wisdom in this why do you insist on telling blacks they are slaves to the past, and only a transfer of wealth from "white barons" through revolution with break the cycle of poverty?

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I'll be honest, I've been struggling with the Christian concept of "resurrection" for awhile.

I've talked about this with a few people.

I put that in the “beautiful story” box of Christianity, something I wanted to believe, but just couldn't.

I've loved Church, the community, the moral teachings, the concepts of love, kindness, generosity. Those are the reasons we decided to go back.

But my goodness... I have STRUGGLED with believing the Gospel story.

Rising from the dead?

I don't know, it was something I just haven't been able to get past.

Until today.

I just got past it.

Not blindly, I'm not covering my eyes and running.

But I am trusting that I cannot see, not a blind faith, but a compelling one.

Faith that looks at the hunger for justice I have wired into me and says, “That didn’t come from nowhere.”

Faith doesn’t ask me to ignore reality; but rather demands I face ALL OF IT, in it's most terrifying forms ...and still step forward.

So if I do not have the Resurrection, I have nothing.

No justice, no reunion, and the story ends...

...and today, I just refuse to believe the story ends there

@Rainmaker1973 She left anyway.

[Chess.com @chesscom]

An important update.

@Rainmaker1973 Don't do acid

@treehugger_7704 @Lebona_cabonena Many rural communities in SA have terrible internet. I live in one. The telco towers depend on ESKOM which often goes down. Starlink has none of these issues with super low ping (<40ms).

A "man cave" is an absurdly childish consumerist trend that shows our decay as a civilization

A gentleman should have a study, not a "man cave"

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@RiebvJanbeeck That scenario: revival sweeps the land with millions coming to Christ, including hardened communists and racists. Those saved are discipled in a Christian world view, and Sourh Africa becomes a becon of hope to the world. God has done it before.

@Mabo_letso @MzamoDudula @Sinawo_Thambo If you don't want Elon to profit then why are you using an app he owns?

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@MzamoDudula @Sinawo_Thambo Give this man a Bells.

[Mzamo Dudula @MzamoDudula]

Sinawo, I understand your frustration towards Elon after he shared that misleading clip about the EFF, but governance isn’t about personal grudges, it’s about serving the people.
There’s a child in a deep rural area who could benefit from Starlink, yet instead of ensuring accessible internet for all, we’re blocking competition and keeping data prices high. South Africans already pay some of the most expensive rates in the world, and monopolies are thriving while the poor remain disconnected.
As a lawmaker, shouldn’t your focus be on expanding market access rather than restricting it? Are we truly prioritizing empowerment, or are we just protecting business interests at the expense of the people?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Why do you have openly racist ownership laws?

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@DavidMogashoa @elonmusk If this were true then any mention of "without compensation" would be redundant.

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@StolkOscar @woestyn_wolf Please share more pearls of wisdom. You seem to know what you are talking about.

[Not Elon Musk @ElonMuskAOC]

Justin... You know I own this app right?

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@Mrpossidez If I've never experienced this does that mean I'm a psychopath?

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@ThomasD79061 One of these hit me right between the eyes when it bounced off the wall my paper target was attached to.

[Ryan Brear @rpbrear]

@elonmusk And yet South Africa still doesn't have access. Help us before you help the penguins, please.
