This link was posted on (gasp!) Mastodon but different audience here ....
A wee blog post on 3 things I'm thankful for and more items, one about moving furniture around.
1. Upcoming teaching opportunity on Sat.
2. New Bible reads well, feels good, is a great size.
3. Water from the street is back on.
I think I started the Bible group way back when on guppe. Is it still there?
1. Upcoming teaching opportunity on Sat.

How's everybody?
I'm discouraged, again, with social media.
It's like a cold that keeps coming back.
Hey Mastodon, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.
All of my creations are designed, sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

3 big truths on growth, seeking, and obedience
No. 1 ─ The secret of spiritual and numerical growth is to focus energies on building up the new things of God. Opposition to the old way of life, temptation, and the powers of evil are necessary, but devotion to the positive way and life in Christ deserves the lion's share of our efforts.
No. 2 ─ People sitting in the pews who are set in their ways get most of the time and attention of God's servants. They have heard all the sermons for years. The hour is past to leave them to their vices and seek out the lost who may learn from the start how to obey the truth.
No. 3 ─ “Obey the truth” is a biblical phrase which contains the essential principal of purifying one's soul from sin and selfishness. Don't follow popular religious doctrine that denies the necessity of obedience. Read 1 Peter 1.22.
3GT
1. God's patience with me
2. Weight staying down
3. Old style watches
1. Friends who truly care for me;
2. Comfort in life I don't deserve;
3. Opportunities still ahead that I can see.
I'm grateful to God for:
1. so many good opportunities to serve;
2. another day of life full of good things;
3. friends I can count on.
1. Group dynamics were good tonight.
2. I had little to work with, came up with a satisfying approach.
3. Encouraged by devotional ready by Shaw #6.
The Bible is the clear interpretation of God's acts.
Read the latest article at
I tell you, even though the man inside will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of the first man’s sheer persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs. Luke 11.8 NETB.
Contrast this with God's willingness and desire to bless those who seek and ask.

3GT: At peace
1. Although today was not so productive, I'm at peace with that. Some days are like that.
2. Have I mentioned that the Missus has perfected the keto breakfast?
3. Grateful to @Christopher for his help and patience.

Godly wisdom teaches how God works in the world, how we must reverence him, and how he, sooner or later, rewards the just and punishes the unjust, rebellious, and foolish.
Yesterday's good things
1. Ten years since my dad passed away; grateful for his teaching and example.
2. Blessed moment yesterday with the saints in Christ.
3. Felt more pep yesterday than in a good whlie.

Unknown parent • • •I do believe Streams development was picked up by someone, but I would have to look up who picked it up.
Bill Statler
in reply to Christopher • • •Mike just released new versions of Streams and Forte today, so it's not abandoned. But yes, he has announced that he is officially retired, so updates will come if/when he feels like working on them.
It would be amazing if
n ≥ 1new developers would join these projects.Christopher likes this.

I like the Friendica UI. However it stores a massive amount of data per user. I tested it with just one local user account and it stored gigabytes in the database in just a few days. Multi-user would likely have needed several terabytes storage.
