I made these toy guns out of hardwood. I make them simple on purpose, without moving parts because they won't break and it allows kids to be creative. The other day my son turned his into a pump action by taping on a Pez dispenser. Imagine all the after-market possibilities!

Many people think the Christian faith is a blind faith. As if we simply believe without evidence and logic that God is real. But God has revealed himself to us in a number of ways so that we can know that there is a creator, sustainer, and redeemer of the world. God revealed himself through creation, through his Son Jesus Christ, and through scripture. We do have evidence to evaluate. We can truly know him. We can truly know his plan of salvation. Don't trust, verify.

I get so much more a engagement on nostr than I ever did on Twitter. This place is great, and I'm barely scratching the surface of what nostr can do.

Think generationally: -Get married, have lots of kids, raise them to do better than you. -Build things you won't live to enjoy. - fight battles that will benefit your, and your neighbor's grand kids. - save in bitcoin(probably goes without saying)

Too many Christians think wealth is opposed to the Christian life. It's a failure to understand the dominion mandate, to provide for your family, and to think long term for generations. Bitcoin as sound money helps with all of these things. Stewarding our resources is a biblical virtue. Instead of speculating on investments, we can simply work hard, be wise with our money and save in btc.

Bitcoin doesn't fix everything. Instead it helps free you to spend your time tackling the challenges you want to. Fight the dragons in front of you.

My son worked all summer doing chores and other jobs to save up for a motorbike. So proud of him learning the value of work and low time preference. (Don't worry, he's got sats too) image
