“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” The mouth of the Lord has spoken.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬ image

“You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭22‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ “Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭22‬:‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ image

“But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi,” says the Lord Almighty. “So I have caused you to be despised and humiliated before all the people, because you have not followed my ways but have shown partiality in matters of the law.”” ‭‭Malachi‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.” -Satoshi Nakamoto

Start putting a value on items you see in a store in terms of hours of your life it will take you to earn enough of your nation’s currency to purchase that item. For example…Those $200 pair of shoes will take me 8 hours of my life that I can never get back to purchase. If the shoe enables you to work more efficiently subsequently enabling you to earn more, it could be worth the purchase. If the shoe cannot enhance your productivity, or efficiency you may choose to not purchase the shoe. My son started a small business and now he values his time differently. I heard him tell his sister that he’s not spending his money on something she asked to him to buy because it will take him “X” amount of time to earn that money back. On his own my son made a choice about how much his time is worth and realized his time was worth more than a material item. His behavior (time preference) changed because of his experiences. Give your children the necessary experiences to change their behavior. Whatever that means for you (not telling anyone how to parent). This must be an intentional effort on our part as parents. Hope this inspires someone. Peace & Love

Why would you want to let the public know what you’re spending money on? When I use Venmo I see transactions from many of my coworkers and phone contacts. Is there any good reason to allow the public to see these transactions…?
