Good for you, I can't go put gas in my car or buy groceries without thinking of him!

Dear brothers and sisters, just imagine this little boy… Only 10 years old. A life that should have been full of carefree moments… full of laughter, playing, dreaming… But one single moment changes everything. A devastating accident… And suddenly nothing is the same anymore. He loses his left arm. Can you imagine how he must have felt? Perhaps helpless… perhaps different… perhaps even worthless… And then this boy makes a decision that many would not understand: He wants to learn judo. Of all things, judo. A sport where you need both arms… right? He begins his training with an old, experienced master. And this master… teaches him only one single move. Weeks go by… months go by… And the boy learns… only this one move. At some point he can’t take it anymore and asks: “Sensei… shouldn’t I be learning more?” And the answer is astonishing: “This is all you need.” Maybe someone else would have given up… Maybe someone else would have thought: This is not enough… I am not enough… But this boy… trusts. He trusts his teacher. And he keeps training. Then the day of the tournament arrives. The first match? He wins. The second? Also. The third becomes difficult… But at the moment his opponent becomes impatient… he skillfully uses that one move — and wins. And suddenly he stands in the final. His opponent is bigger… stronger… more experienced… For a moment, the boy seems overwhelmed. The fight is even interrupted. Maybe everyone thought: Now it’s over… But the master says: “Let him continue.” And then it happens… One single moment of carelessness… One single mistake… And the boy uses exactly what he has learned. That one move. And he wins. He becomes the champion. On the way home, he asks the question that we might also ask: “How was that possible… with only one move?” And the master’s answer is deeply moving: “First… you have mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second… the only known defense against it is for your opponent to grab your left arm.” And that… he did not have. Dear brothers and sisters… Isn’t that touching? His greatest weakness… became his greatest strength. And now think about us. How often do we look at our weaknesses… and feel small? Maybe we think: “I am not good enough…” “I can’t do as much as others…” “Jehova surely cannot use me like this…” But listen to what the Bible says. In 2 Corinthians 12:10 we read: “For when I am weak, then I am powerful.” What a thought… Not despite our weakness… but through our weakness Jehova can make us strong. Maybe exactly what you feel is your greatest limitation… is what Jehova will one day use in a way you cannot yet imagine. Maybe he is shaping your heart right now… your compassion… your humility… Things that are infinitely valuable in his eyes. Therefore… Never think that you are worth less. Never think that your weaknesses make you unusable. Jehova sees you differently. He sees your heart. He sees your struggle. He sees your tears. And maybe… he already sees in your greatest weakness your greatest strength. So let us trust. Like that little boy. Not in our own strength… but in Jehova. Because when we are weak… then… we are truly strong.

I don't talk much about Trump or his "administration" because I will seriously violate my neutrality if I do. I also try not to think about him.

The KotN blocking the Strait of Ormuz... That sounds a bit like Daniel 11:43, doesn't it?

Oil WTI-26years. Panic in titles, situation -like many times in previous years Fell free to interpret

For some they see the clouds of a global destruction while for others - men are marrying and women are being given in marriage and life is going on. I imagine this is exactly what Jesus meant the time would be like just before Jehovah puts it into the nations hearts to attack all of false religion. We won't see it coming and there won't be some event more than any other that says "this is almost it". It will just be "this is it". And we'll know it as all nations will give enough authority to the UN and it will attack ALL of these religions. It is going to be sudden and right on Jehovah's timetable - whenever that is. We trust the timing will be perfect and he'll help us endure until then.

Modern wars can now be characterized as climate wars because they are structurally embedded with the release of massive GHG making them more destructive to global carbon budgets in a shorter time. The consensus among analysts now is that modern wars like US/Iran & Russia/Ukraine is one of the most carbon intensive activities on earth adding more to the climate budget than historical conflicts have due to the reliance to fossil fuels. You can read some of the impacts here and here

Seems like a great app, will def test it

I am not sure if the world is in panic. Only titles on youtube are crazy to catch someones attention. There are as much food as it was in the shops. ect The prices of gas increased-20% like during pandemia or Ukrainian War-so maybe in some weeks the situation will stabilze

Not yet. It wasn't in the update #1442 this morning. So not sure if it will be in time for next week.

Massive heat dome in the US starting in the West heading East & Siberia leading into the Arctic, Sparing Canada for this week.

I was busy panic buying and meditating . The world is in panic . In my country, national police dept prepares for possible looting.

I don't understand why there is not much talks on this forum, in spite of recent events. At the moment the world is on fire due to the energy crisis. The trump administration is so eradic, who knows how this will play out.
