I can understand the use cases for and against #verified accounts.

As for myself. I own talesofmy.life domain, so all of my accounts will end in talesofmy.life or theres.life

All other accounts should be considered fraudulent. I am currently the only big_diggity in the Fediverse.

I am adding different instances to this domain, so you may get connection requests as I experiment with some of these platforms.

God bless,

Religious leaders in the days of #Jesus and Peter: Oh! This could be of #God. Maybe, it's not. Just in case it is, let them go. Oh wait! We should probably beat them first, you know, cuz it's fun. ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸

So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!â€ So they took his advice, and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Have you ever been praying and then the next thing you know you're telling God what to do in your life? Then, you realize you're talking to #GOD, the all powerful. I'm pretty sure I heard him chuckling. And now I'm smiling just knowing he loves me and feeling like a child of his and feeling secure in his care.
That's my morning.
Nice chat. ðŸ˜€

As a family, we are reading thru the #gospels and today we are reading John 7. My first reaction to the below text is to laugh at the Pharisees as they arrogantly think they can pick and choose where #god raises up a prophet. Then, I got to thinking about the many places in my life I choose or not choose to listen to God. Where in my life am I stifling God?

They replied, â€œAre you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.â€

I'm finally arriving to the understanding that true joy and peace is found in the grace received thru #jesus This is one of those things that I knew to be true, but wouldn't allow myself to experience because I try to hold on to worldly things. I would try to use my wife to fill a void. But she is broken like me. I would try to find validation through friends, but only #god knows me well. I would put a cap on my #happiness because I felt like I was never good enough or I don't deserve it. Today, I'm feeling more whole. I'm being more kind to myself. I'm substituting the things I think I need with the peace found thru Jesus.

I don't expect anyone to really understand what I'm saying here. This post is for me, and if helps you in anyway, so be it. Some #selfreflection are worth sharing. Especially, positive ones. I realize that hard days will still come, and I'm making a choice to handle them better than I used to. I might fail, that's okay. But I'll get up and be drawn to #christ a little bit more anyway.

Nice reflexion. We know this but I think sometimes we don't live it. It is just theory. So great if you realise and practice it.

LYRICS
Well, I pledge my head to heaven for the gospel,
And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs.
Like the sparrow up above, I am enveloped in his love,
And I trust him like those little ones, he feeds.

Well I pledge my wife to heaven, for the gospel,
Though our love each passing day just seems to grow.
As I told her when we wed, Id surely rather be found dead,
Than to love her more than the one who saved my soul.
Im your child, and I want to be in your family forever.
Im your child, and Im going to follow you,
No matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.

Well I pledge my son to heaven for the gospel.
Though hes kicked and beaten, ridiculed and scorn.
I will teach him to rejoice, and life a thankful praising voice,
And to be like him who bore the nails and crown of thorns.
Im your child, and I want to be in your family forever.
Im your child, and Im going to follow you,
No matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.
Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.

Well Ive had the chance to gain the world, and to live just like a king,
But without your love, it doesnt mean a thing.
Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost,
Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.

Well I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven,
I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven, for the gospel.

If you don't know who God is or it's been a while since you've connected with him or need a reminder of his power, find a quiet place and let this sink in.
