I lean unto God and not my own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. I remember that God provides all that we NEED on a day by day basis and that He always upholds us by His righteous right hand. 🙌🏻 Isaiah 41:10. I thank God for everything good and for working bad things for our good.
God knows all and knows best. To want to know everything is the human trait of controlling things ourselves, which delays or stops the work that God is doing. It is for our best to completely let God take over, otherwise we don't have His unlimited power working on our behalf. What a loss!
I see all differently now - ancient civilizations that, no matter how technically advanced, they were Godless - worshipping multiple manmade gods or believing that the human rulers were themselves gods.
It appears? there were no "Hebrews" in the far east, no one who remembered God the Creator of all. Manmade religions based on human gods filled the void. No matter how awe-inspiring our technical developments, it will all return to dust. No armies of warriors to protect them in an afterlife. Interesting thing the Godless civs all have in common: only the gods and rulers have an afterlife, everyone else is doomed to en sl ave ment. 🤔 Jesus tried to teach us that was not true, we are all God's children. Believing in God and knowing that Jesus is His Son has a far better outcome! The harvest is great.
As my Irish friends would stay “ f—king brill! I mean no offense by saying that Father Greely once said “ there are no swear words in Gaelic . They have taken to our Anglo- Saxon ones readily and mean no harm by it.” God bless
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff. When I started I had very short and succinct titles but people on Substack (app) kept saying they would be more likely to read if the titles were more descriptive.
So, I researched that and started changing titles. And that did actually increase my views in the app and online. However, my email open rate went down. I got a lot of feedback in my survey saying people tended to read the posts that interested them which makes sense. But then I realized the titles were too long to show fully when scrolling through email.
I'm just trying to figure out what works for everyone. 🤷🏼♂️

I bet 'ol Qin was quite surprised when he met his maker!
I like your idea for titles, and though I don't have any specific advice, as a former professional journalist and editor, shorter is always best.
Fascinating!
