"God loves and celebrates life. So must we."

You make known to me the path of life… (Psalm 16:11)

For many in America today, the advent of June signals the beginning of what has been labeled “Pride Month” by the activist Left. Originally linked to what is called the “Stonewall Uprising,” Pride Month symbolizes glowing affirmation of LGBTQ identity.

All June long, corporations and cultural institutions practically trip over themselves to promote their involvement in Pride Month, putting many Christians (or people who simply hold to a traditional sexual ethic) in difficult spots. When we try to watch a show at the end of a workday, our entertainment platforms drive us to Pride Month content. When buying a tube of toothpaste at our local big-box store, Pride Month displays greet us. When we watch sports, teams wear rainbow patches to celebrate Pride Month. The celebration of LGBTQ identity feels ubiquitous, and belies the claim that our public square is “neutral” and closed to assertive worldviews.

𝐖𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬
From many angles, the entire tone of June in America has shifted. It is one of aggressive approval of a heart attitude that the Word of God rebukes in no uncertain terms: pride. To be proud in one’s natural instincts and desires is to go against God at full velocity. It is to put oneself under certain threat of eternal judgment. Sin, after all, is at base nothing other than pride — it is choosing one’s way over God’s way, and one’s instinctual desires over God’s eternal truth. How we Christians should tremble and pray for all who exult in Pride Month. How we should reach out to them, and proclaim Christ in love to fellow sinners just like us.

But we should not stop there. We have our own cause to celebrate in June. Our cause, quite simply, is life. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the devastatingly inhumane court decision that since 1973 has enabled the destruction of millions upon millions of children. In the long annals of public jurisprudence, one can scarcely find a more wicked measure than Roe. Yet in his all-wise providence, God saw fit to strike Roe down right in the middle of Pride Month. What a rebuke! What an otherworldly intervention.

It’s hard to underplay just how shocking this development was and is. News of the coming overturning of Roe started leaking in early May 2022. Personally, I happened to be flying into D.C. for FRC meetings just as this news broke. It seemed too wonderful to be true: the most monstrously evil decision in modern American history was going to be struck down? The night after word got out, FRC staffer David Closson and I went to the Supreme Court. The tone was one of rage as countless young men and women protested the news. I scarcely knew what to do as David and I wound our way through the huge — and very angry — crowds. Was this real life?

𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡
It was indeed real life. But those days of dazed wonderment are over. Now, as in ancient Israel, have come the days of settled joy. No, the fight against abortion is not over, not by a long shot. But believers should celebrate genuinely God-given victories. We who are saved by grace would be ungrateful children indeed if we did not honor this great outcome in the public square, one akin to the ban on slavery in Wilberforce’s day. Toward that end, here’s my encouragement: all through June, celebrate “Life Month.”

We should not do so in an obnoxious way. We are not fighting flesh and blood, after all. But in days that feel so dark, God has given us a great victory. This means that June is no longer a month for exalting human pride; June is a month for exalting God’s greatness. It is a time to rejoice in God’s gift of life, natural life, and spiritual life. God is our Creator, making every image-bearer such that every single unborn child has God-given dignity, worth, and purpose. God is also our Redeemer, making dead sinners live through the gospel message (Romans 1:16).

There is no better message than this. It is far, far greater than the pagan gospel, the message that you will find true happiness by embracing your natural instincts and then finding affirmation from others in them. This is no gospel at all, in reality, and it leads to fleshly captivity. But according to the true gospel, there is a way out of this enslavement. God is not only Creator and Redeemer, but Lord. The risen and ascended Christ rules the cosmos. At present, his rule is a spiritual rule, calling us to forsake the flesh, join the visible church as members, and live by grace as salt and light in this realm. In human pride, there is slavery; in Christ alone, there is freedom.

𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞
Our world loves death, for death is what following the father of lies gets you. But Christians love life, for life is what God delights to form, naturally but especially spiritually. So, in June, I encourage you: celebrate Life Month. Praise God for his grace. Share your celebration on social media. Create graphics and images, and promote them. Do podcasts about this. Don’t be silent; don’t be intimidated by our pagan culture into muteness. Speak, and don’t stop speaking. Pray, and don’t stop praying.

Start serving at a pro-life work. In fact, work against abortion any way you can, recognizing the murder of an unborn child as a genuine crime, whatever complex factors may lead to the pursuit of one. Calmly engage someone who is celebrating Pride Month, and proclaim Christ to them. Lovingly tell them the truth about sin and the hope that is in Christ. No one is too far gone for God to save them. And no one who is saved is a hopeless case, an abandoned child of God, or too much of a spiritual failure to grow in grace. I repeat myself: for all of us, there is hope, infinite hope, in Christ (Colossians 1:27).

June is Life Month. It cannot be otherwise. In June 2022, the Lord of heaven and earth saw fit to strike down the chief “right” (and rite) of the liberal worldview in the very month when that worldview was most glorified and praised. What an incredible move this was. God, you see, is not mocked. Nor is God asleep. To the contrary, the living personal God is active and working. This God is the God of dramatic reversals and breathtaking miracles. This God loves and celebrates life.

The Great Migration is here!
The annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra is one of the most incredible natural wonders on Earth. Every year, millions of animals make the perilous journey across the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania in search of food and water.
The migration begins in the southern Serengeti in May, when the wildebeest give birth to their calves. The herds then move north, following the rains, until they reach the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in Early August.
Along the way, the animals face many dangers, including predators, drought, and disease. But they are driven by their instinct to survive, and they never give up.
The Great Migration is a truly awe-inspiring sight, and it's an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. If you're planning a safari to Africa, be sure to time your trip to coincide with the migration. You won't be disappointed!
Book your safari with @SafariBando today and experience the Great Migration for yourself!

I've been on plenty of Twitter spaces and the reach of a space is truly incredible. However, I obviously prefer some form of live conversation with others on Somee vs spending my time on Twitter. The issue, Twitter is a necessary evil right now to reach mass users for web3 related events I'm working on. Still bullish on SOMEE though!

Ah, the joys of working from home!

For me it's a delightful dance between productivity and domesticity, where the mundane office routine gets swapped out for the whirlwind of crazy household tasks. Let me tell you about my full working day, during which I managed to finish a home marathon while also conquering the world of emails.
As I settled into my makeshift home office, armed with a steaming cup of tea and a determined spirit, the universe decided to test my multitasking skills. Amidst answering a seemingly endless list of emails, the washing machine beckoned me with a siren song of soiled laundry. How could I resist its call? With one hand typing furiously and the other expertly loading clothes into the machine, I transformed into a symphony conductor, orchestrating the perfect balance between work and chores.
It was now time for a quick lunch after starting the laundry. Oh, the luxury of being close to a kitchen! In record time, I cooked up a culinary masterpiece (or at least something edible), enjoying the mouthwatering tastes as my laptop watched in silence, wondering when it would get a taste of my culinary talent. Unfortunately, it had to be content with the scraps of my success.
Back at my desk, I marvelled at the passage of time. The day seemed to fly by, propelled by the whirlwind of tasks both professional and domestic. Yet, amidst the chaos, a strange harmony emerged. I was a productivity guru in the office, a domestic wizard in the kitchen, and a master of all trades (well, most trades) in my humble abode.
Sure, my work-from-home escapades may seem like a juggling act of epic proportions. I may have accidentally sent a laundry-related email or almost boil my earphones with the noodles (don't ask how). But through it all, I found solace in the fact that my day was a productive one, not just in conquering deadlines and conquering laundry stains, but also in embracing the delightful absurdity that comes with blending work and home life.

So, here's to the work-from-home warriors, the masters of multitasking, and the champions of the chaos. May your emails be eloquent, your washing machines be efficient, and your tea always be within arm's reach. After all, in the realm of productivity, there's nothing quite like the symphony of clacking keys, spinning laundry, and a perfectly brewed cup of tea to make the day go by in a whirlwind of hilarity and accomplishment.
Have a prosperous Thursday everyone!

I just dove into it on the way home now. Oliver talks about how safe Nuclear is in a new documentary. Nuclear Now ( he knows very little about CO2 though and just said he believes IPCC. Since all their models and predictions has been incredible wrong like ten times off when it comes to 40year temperature, it seems like someone holding a gun to Olivers wifis head and he is forced to say this shit.) https://open.spotify.com/episode/4hfegsO5ppgNhifrS2UO6D?si=7nlU7GsOQnWyHBcYotvG3w

Watching WW84

Wonder Woman 1984 may or may not live up to DC fans expectations, however the film is packed with some incredible quotes that is so so inspiring. I really love Wonder Woman as she's a Woman of truth, strength, wisdom, courage and love.

Steve has been the love of Wonder Woman's life even though he comes in and out of her story time and time again.

The movie in every series has strong quotes that are powerful and definitely worth sharing. Here's some of them..

“Just do your best. And remember, greatness is not what you think. Pace yourself and watch” – Antiope

“No true hero is born from lies.” – Antiope

"Some days, my childhood feels so very far away. And others, I can almost see it. The magical land of my youth. Like a beautiful dream of when the whole world felt like a promise, and the lessons that lay ahead yet unseen. Looking back, I wish I’d listened. Wish I’d watched more closely, and understood. But sometimes you can’t see what you’re learning, until you come out the other side" – Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman

Gal Gadot has done a phenomenal job in portraying the titled role and it could not have been done (imo) by any other. Can anyone get her onto SoMee

Tasty sweet tropical fruit : Lansium parasiticum, commonly known as langsat (/ˈlɑːŋsɑːt/),[2] lanzones (/lɑːnˈzɔːnɛs/),[3] or longkong[4] in English; duku in Indonesian or dokong in Terengganu Malay,[5][6] is a species of tree in the Mahogany family with commercially cultivated edible fruits. The species is native to Southeast Asia.[2] Despite its name, it is not parasitic; the specific epithet parasiticum derives from the fact that it can grow as an epiphyte in the wild, which was once thought to be an indication of parasitism.

Yesterday we had an incredible day, we were lucky to have that views

Had a nice easy walk on the gravel road today. We passed by some fun things to look at on the side of the road. The log cabin was built as an office when the farmer raised christmas trees (Im fairly certain the log cabin was built from a pre-fab kit.)
The columbine flower is in full bloom. The flower is edible and the back of each petal is sweet. Tastes a little like honey. In the background of the columbine is the hub from a wagon wheel.

### Who is Lionel Messi?
Lionel Messi, one of the greatest football players of all time. Lionel Messi born June 24, 1987, in the city of Rosario, Argentina. When he was a child, he faced some challenges but overcame them with hard work and dedication.

Messi's football love started at a very young age. He used to play in the streets of his neighborhood, showing his incredible talent even as a kid. At the age of just six, he joined a local club called Newell's Old Boys, where his skills started to shine. People quickly noticed his exceptional abilities, such as his quick dribbling, precise passing, and amazing goal-scoring abilities.


When Messi was only 13 years old, something amazing happened. He was scouted by the famous football club Barcelona in Spain. They were so impressed by his skills that they offered him a chance to train at their youth academy called La Masia. Messi and his family made a tough decision to move to Barcelona so he could pursue his dream of becoming a professional football player.

At Barcelona's youth academy, Messi continued to develop his talents and worked incredibly hard to improve his skills. He faced some challenges because he was small in size compared to other players, but he didn't let that stop him. He proved that size doesn't matter when it comes to achieving your dreams.


In 2004, at the age of just 17, Messi made his debut for Barcelona's first team in a friendly match. He impressed everyone with his skills, and soon he became a regular player in the team. Messi's amazing performances on the field helped Barcelona win many trophies, including the UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles.

In fact, he has won it a record-breaking number of times! Messi has also broken many records, such as becoming Barcelona's all-time top scorer and surpassing 700 career goals.


However, despite all his success, Messi has also faced some difficult moments. In 2021, he left Barcelona, the club where he spent his entire professional career, due to financial issues the club was facing. It was a challenging time for him because he had to say goodbye to the club and the fans he loved.

But even during this challenging period, Messi showed resilience and joined another top club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where he continued to play at a very high level. He has continued to amaze fans with his incredible skills and has become an important player for PSG.


### Conclusion
It's important to remember that even though Messi has faced challenges, he has always stayed focused and determined. He never gave up on his dreams, and his hard work and talent have made him one of the most successful football players in history.

So, even if you're facing challenges or feeling lonely, remember the story of Lionel Messi. It shows that with dedication, hard work, and a positive mindset, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve your goals.
