1/10 A BIOHACKING THREAD
I’ve been a biohacker since I was 13. I highly recommend you become acutely aware of your body & all its functions. The best way to do this is to subject your body to new experiences of safe, beneficial stress & pay attention to your biological responses.
2/10 Why? Well, because acute biological awareness increases mental, emotional, and relational awareness. And heightened awareness of biological and psychological phenomena—when triggered in healthy and safe ways—increases the quality, sensitivity, and joy of one’s life.
3/10 You come equipped by your benevolent Creator with three basic biological systems to play with:

•Cardiovascular (blood flow)

•Respiratory (oxygen intake)

•Digestive (food intake)

What a wonder you are!
4/10 Do not be afraid of pushing your body to safe yet uncomfortable extremes. Violate laziness and comfort in favor increased sensory consciousness. Here are a few biohacking examples I’ve experimented with over the years with great results.
5/10 FASTING

•one day a week with only water

•one food item a day for 1/3/5/7 days, such as apples, citrus, watermelon, cherries (no, Doritos don't count)

•“lemonade fast” for 7-10 days: 2T lemon juice, 2T grade B maple syrup, 1/8t cayenne, 16 ounces of water X 3 or 4 a day
6/10 CONTROLLED BREATHING

Each night as you lay down to sleep, inhale & hold for a count of 30, then exhale completely & hold for a count of 30, X 5. Repeat as soon as you wake up in the morning. This triggers calmness & clarity of thought. Your dreams may even be more vivid.
7/10 INTENSITY INTERVALS

Walk for one minute, sprint for one minute, for 21 minutes. Do this for 30 days and watch what happens to your body. Explore other intensity interval exercises, as well, such as with weights.
8/10 THE 1, 2, 3 CRUSH

Do 100 push-ups, 200 crunches, and 300 jumping jacks, six days a week for 30 days. You will literally watch your body morph into a form you are unfamiliar with.
9/10 THE COLD RUSH

•end every work out by sitting in cold water for a count of 30, 60, 90 or 120

•end of your hot shower with cold for a count of 60, for 30 days

•if you own or have access to a sauna, sit in the heat for 40 minutes and then sit in cold water for 1 to 3 mins
10/10 BONUS HACK

Kiss your beloved with your heads upside down from each other. Sounds weird, but you have to try it. It will give you a whole new perspective on the astounding level of dexterity required for the simple act of kissing right side up. We take so much for granted😂

A THREAD ON THE VACCINE

1/10 If you are struggling to know whether to get the vaccine, may I offer the following line of reasoning for your consideration?
2/10 If it does not violate the moral law of God and therefore is not a matter of sin and religious liberty, and you want to be taken seriously when the real religious liberty threat arises,
3/10 if your denomination has published an official statement in favor of it and you find yourself hesitant at the prospect of running with your own opinion over the general collective option of your church,

1/7 A corporation is a money-making machine. Until recently in history, corporations could only make money by manipulating matter (wood, stone, metals, minerals, etc) to extract profits. Now corporations can make money by manipulating human perceptions, feelings, and decisions.
2/7 Testifying to Congress, Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistle blower, charges that Facebook puts "astronomical profits before people... Facebook’s products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy...destabilize democracy.” What!?
3/7 If true, think of how frightening and historically unprecedented this is. If a corporation possesses enough power to “destabilize democracy” for its own financial profits, that corporation possesses power equal to that of sovereign nations.

This does not qualify as a sonnet, but I don't have the energy to be that precise right now. Hopefully this ministers to your heavy heart. @JenniferJillS @kreyne @EliseHarboldt 1/8
ON PRESENT STAGE

Lord God Almighty, ineffably holy,
Great in weakness, immeasurably lowly,
From the corner of my eye, I see You moving,
My broken heart runs, yet still You're pursuing
2/8
Take me into Your story now,
Resisting no longer, Your will to allow,
Not mere words on ancient page,
But present Word on present stage

1/6 The Bible is full of poetry. Sixteen books are composed entirely of poetry. Fourteen other books have a high percentage of poetry. Only 7 of its 66 books have no poetry.
2/6 Yet many people are unaware that much of the Bible is poetry and song, because the way teachers and preachers deliver the Bible to people is largely in the fragmented form of prooftext arguments, which is a way of thinking and communicating that is foreign to the prophets.
3/6 The prophets are more like spoken word artists and less like academic professors, more like singer-songwriters and less like fact-firing evangelists, more like practitioners of love and less like preachers of logic. They want us to act justly, not merely to argue correctly.

A few thoughts on the Ravi Zacharias scandal:

1/7 One of the repeated warnings of the Bible is that bad men will use the good news of Christ as a means of preying upon vulnerable people. They are called “wolves in sheep’s clothing." #RaviZacharias
2/7 Jesus is so attractive & the gospel is so powerful, it is inevitable that predators & shysters will harness His beauty & potency for their evil aims. They are frauds. He is not. The disguise they wear is effective precisely because of the truth it represents. #RaviZacharias
3/7 I’ve actually known two very successful evangelist who said privately that they were atheists, but that preaching was a great way to win trust and make money. They didn’t believe a word they were preaching, and yet what they were preaching was the truth. #RaviZacharias

1/5 A key premise of Revelation is that America, while posing as a “lamb,” actually operates by the principles of the “dragon.” That is, America is not a Christian nation, but rather a modern incarnation of Rome.
2/5 Rome was defined as a legal political system called a “Republic” and was governed by a representative body called a “Senate,” which gave the surface appearance that the government existed for the “public.” America, too, is a Republic and hence a kind of modern Rome.
3/5 But beneath the surface, Rome was characterized by political corruption, financial scandal, legal farce, and warmongering, which led to a loss of public trust. Rome was not conquered from without by a foreign power, but from within by the moral corruption of its own leaders.
