Neat book spotlight!

I dare say no one has time. It isn't a possession.

Indeed! I'm working on the second book now, but I don't intend it for be for general release across the mass distribution channels as I indicated elsewhere.

Money, properly understood and used, moves like water.

I'm from the old era of the net, and so I don't worry about the Darthcoins of the world. I've seen um come, and I've seen um go.

The condition is the person asking has to be able to receive.

Precisely. It is not the fault of the giver if the asker is a thief.

There is definitely a balance.

Ah I read that differently. I thought you were saying that people could not be faulted for taking things at face value in the sense of not doing the spiritual aspect.

I hear what you are saying, but I think the Bible is full of examples of taking things at face value only and how that can be dangerous.

Yes, the Buddhists call it "right action" with no expectation of "outcome". I think that's a fit description.

You are welcome!

lol. That's a gem there.

I wasn't scammed. I gave the person asking for food around 1200 sats total. The provision was if they were being false it would come back on them. It appears they were playing a game.

The Messiah was kindness sent by God. I simply choose to believe in what they established.

After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?''

Contrast with:

Hosea 8:7

NKJV

“They sow the wind,And reap the whirlwind.The stalk has no bud;It shall never produce meal.If it should produce,Aliens would swallow it up.

Irony they named it tornado. The podcast I linked recently discusses the above quote from a different angle.

Matthew 10:33

But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father who is in Heaven.

The lesson is/was not for me...
