Ps. 23:2 - "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink." Every swallow at the still waters is a hallelujah. Every ripple is a reminder: I am His, and He is mine.
Well, I don't know what happened, but Muse on the Mac desktop, the voice mode, is working perfectly now. It just fixed itself.
Using voice with Muse on the Mac is not working, at least for me. The microphone icon blinks, Muse can't hear me, and I can't hear it. Voice works on the phone just great.

After years of silence and a trial that divided an Ohio megachurch, a judge convicted Tom Keesee on 27 counts — 11 of them rape.
He found the three women who testified "credible and resolute."
Keesee's mother, a county commissioner and co-pastor of Faith Life Church, called their accounts lies from her seat in the courtroom.
This is unconscionable. These survivors were former congregants at Faith Life harmed by her son. And yet, she chose loyalty to her child-abusing son instead loyalty to the victims. She is no pastor. She is wolf and needs to resign.

"Jesus never asks whether we'll give, pray, or fast. He asks how. His answer: quietly, for the Father who sees in secret."

Within 10 years, a Calvary Chapel will ordain a homosexual to pastoral ministry. That is not just where this kind of compromise MIGHT lead. It is where this kind of compromise ALWAYS leads.
Major news out of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, the influential 9500-member Calvary Chapel church (CC) founded by Chuck Smith.
Pastor Char Broderson, grandson of Chuck Smith, announced on Sunday their intent to begin ordaining women pastors, in direct opposition to CC's distinctives.
A statement from the Calvary Chapel Association Heartland Regional Team describes these actions as "deeply grievous" and a departure from "from important convictions Pastor Chuck faithfully taught and modeled."
"As a regional team, we have serious concerns about the direction Costa Mesa has taken...Although disagreement over these doctrines does not, in itself, determine a person’s salvation, these are consequential matters of biblical interpretation, church order, and pastoral faithfulness.
We do NOT affirm the ordination of women as elders or pastors as biblically sound or consistent with the Calvary Chapel distinctives upheld by the Calvary Chapel Association."

We will be separating ourselves from this side of the movement. We will not compromise God's Word. I will make a statement tomorrow and we will likely be changing our church name.

“If you pass the test... abundant life. If you do not pass the test... what happened to this man will happen to you.”
Josh Howerton taught on the rich young ruler (Mark 10) on 10/25/26 during his current “Into the Breach” fundraising campaign. In the message, he teaches that the RYR refused to listen to Jesus and therefore missed out on God’s plan for his life.
Josh teaches that we can ask Jesus to talk to us today and he promises that Jesus will respond.
Josh then ties this to his campaign. He says that if a person feels like he is being led to do something for Jesus and chooses not to do it, they may end up like the RYR.
He conflates staring at a Lakepointe Church commitment card and listening to subjective impressions a person may feel with the direct verbal words Jesus spoke to the RYR.
This is incredibly manipulative. The RYR chose his possessions over following Christ in any way. That is not the same thing as deciding what to do during a fundraiser. The RYR wasn't saved.
The subtle message here is that if you do not respond correctly, you risk the same outcome as the RYR. That is the assumed conclusion and the unspoken threat looming throughout this sermon towards his congregants.
Josh has formulated a hyper-pragmatic doctrine of Christian living that is based on good works. Those good works are based on assuming that the thoughts and feelings a person has are direct communication from Jesus. That person is then conscience-bound to respond to that feeling correctly, basing their entire walk with God on that response. “Don’t fail the test.”
This is straight up spiritual manipulation. It holds his people hostage and puts a fear in their hearts that if they do not respond in the right way, they might be opposing God.
It assumes that Josh is speaking on behalf of God, and that his campaign is a test. His people will either pass or fail.
The message to take away from the rich young ruler is not “he should have sold everything and that would have fixed his heart.” It’s that only God can fix our sinful hearts, which is exactly what Jesus says just verses later.
Mark 10:27
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.’”
Do not succumb to the temptation to base your entire salvation on whether or not you made the correct choices or did enough good works. Base it on faith in Christ.

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.
They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."
The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️
"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

Apparently, if you ask @howertonjosh to sell his mansion and live modestly whilst giving the leftover profit to the poor … you get blocked.
I guess he uses the extra 6000 square feet in the house as his prayer room, right?
Nice fountain in the front yard, too. Jesus likes it.
A pastor who preaches topically sets a ceiling based on what interests him, whether he realizes it or not. A pastor who works through the text submits to a ceiling set by God.
Using Muse voice on the phone is really great no latency well hardly any easy conversation however, on the desktop, it's another story.
Muse can hear me initially but then it can't hear me anymore. I can't hear it. The voice is broken up. I don't know why the desktop is so wonky and the phone works so well.
Anybody else have a bad experience on the desktop app this is all Mac by the way.

Let me tell you a story about how unethical Anthropic is.
In April, the Anthropic team began heavily courting our engineering team to tell them corporate secrets, technical details, and future plans for @cfosilvia.
They pretended their interest was due to our exploding popularity and accelerating compute usage, but it quickly became apparent that Anthropic was fishing for details on how we built our product and why it was so popular.
This included the Anthropic team trying to wine-and-dine our engineers, including a infamous steak dinner where someone told our team "don't worry about it, this is on Dario."
Our team was not born yesterday, so we quickly realized what was happening and refused to share sensitive information and technical details with the Anthropic team.
As we suspected, Anthropic was trying to get information from us, so they could build a competing product. Some people on their team must have a guilty conscious because they messaged us a few days ago to give us "a heads-up" that they were launching a competing product.
Thankfully, the Silvia engineering team has been aggressively working to get off the frontier models for the last ~ 6 months. That effort has been highly successful, because our compute costs are ~ 97% lower when we use our own model & hardware, the latency is lower, and the accuracy of answers materially increases as well.
The sad thing for Anthropic is they have now released an inferior product and they had to sell their soul to do it.
The only thing worse than being a trillion-dollar company that can't beat a 10-person team is being a trillion-dollar company that no one trusts and everyone knows is unethical.
Serious investors continue to choose @cfosilvia over ChatGPT, Claude, and other frontier companies because these products are not optimized to solve the actual user problem.
Today, Anthropic launched a Claude wrapper that is masquerading as a personal finance product. Best of luck to them.
But I will take the Silvia misfits vs the Anthropic losers any day of the week.
if you want to support people trying to do things the right way, and help investors be more informed, then consider signing up for Silvia today: silvia.com
Muse voice just got turned on for me. It’s pretty cool and I like how you can adjust it to your liking.
