I wish @npub1a02s...lqst was still around. He hasn't posted since March '25 and I deleted SimpleX a long time ago. Had some great chats with him about how Christianity and Pschotherapy - where the overlap, where they are incompatible, etc. Cheers to you, our Canadian brother, wherever you are now.
...so...when someone says to me "well, that's just not 'me' -- that's not my personality type" -- the worldview-translator in my head hears, "yeah, well, I'm a Scorpio" and in my heart I laugh a little. Listen, cupcake: our 'unrealized self' is not the standard; Christ is the standard. We are not aiming to be 'more like ourselves, living our best life, becoming best version of ourselves' etc. - we aim to be conformed to the image of the ultimate [eschatos] man, Jesus Christ. He is the goal toward which we strive. View quoted note →
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:7-10, KJV GM
Remember that old cartoon where the tiny pipsqueak of a dog with a huge ego befriends a big dumb oaf of a dog and the tiny dog gets the big dog to do his bidding? Yeah, I remember that too.
...dude. I'm about to move three laptops and a desktop from Ubuntu to #NixOS with a single set of configuration files (in a shared git repo). If I want to make a household-wide change to permissions or settings? Update a single file. If one of them needs a particular software package that the others don't? I update their own {username}.nix. This...is bananas. Say what you want about the wokies that run it, but NixOS is friggin' awesome.
