I was at a pharmacy getting meds for my chronically ill wife @K8EMusic & saw this quote from Leigh Hunt.
If health is the “groundwork of all happiness,” what about those whose health is a losing battle? Do they also automatically lose the battle for joy?
The Bible says not.
For every person whose suffering ruined their faith, there is someone with equal or worse suffering who chooses to believe in God’s power & authority to someday, somehow redeem it for glory, who says “He gives & takes away, blessed be his name” (Job 1:21).

New video coming June 18!
In the 1980s, my dad worked on the frontier of 3D computer graphics. Then when I was young, he passed these skills to me. We discuss this while showcasing recovered lost media of our work from the time.

This video hits home for me—not the disturbing gore stuff thankfully, but the financial exploitation.

If “optimize” means to make something the best it can be, then does “pessimize” mean to make it the worst?
Judges 15:6 - Samson literally got his lover executed … Good job at accomplishing your goals, buddy 👍
This goes to show: the “reckless possessive” archetype of masculine romance tends to just bring suffering and harm to the very women it aims to “protect.”
Judges 9:7-21 - There’s a few aspects of this story that might seem odd to a modern audience. Possible explanations have recently come to my mind.
Q2: If the bramble represents Abimelech, why in verse 15 does its quotation seem out of character for Abimelech?

Mark 1:15 - This message was so simple because it relied a lot on context, to an audience familiar w. the OT who would soon witness Christ’s other work.
In 21st cen. USA I daresay there’s a deficit of context. We must not only build from scratch, but undo wrong impressions first
Romans 12:14-21 - I recently heard certain gov. leaders use the passage right after this (Rom 13) to legitimize their own authority.
But Rom 13 was written to subjects, not to authorities… and this adjacent passage destroys their attitude over and over and over.
