Still the weary folk are pining
For the hour that brings release, And the city's crowded clangor Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace

"That which is written cannot be blotted out." – Swahili Saying
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means away." – Matthew 24:35
How do we press ourselves into the permanency of divine teaching as we live day to day? What practices work to keep God’s Word preeminent in one’s heart and mind?
Dear Lord, instill in us a deep recognition of the everlasting nature of Your words. May we anchor our lives in Your eternal promises – assured of the unshakable foundation upon which we stand. Amen.

"He who once drinks of the waters of the north will always return to them." - North American Indian Saying
"O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!" - Psalm 34:8
Recall moments that have led to feelings of nostalgia, longing, or homesickness in life. How might these experiences reflect a deeper spiritual thirst that only the divine can quench?
Ageless Lord, allow us deep draughts from the fountain of your mercy and grace, instilling in our hearts an insatiable thirst for your divine presence. Grant us that continuous longing to rest in your love. In Jesus name, Amen.

Merciful God, grant us the wisdom to see beyond our present realities – adopting restraint and ensuring our steps are ordered in Your Word. Let us not consider ourselves so well off that we fall in folly and pride. In Jesus' name, Amen.

“A man of courage never wants weapons.” - English Saying
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
In facing struggles in life, do I lean on my own capabilities or do I draw from a higher power for strength and courage? How does the world understand courage and how might reliance on God and His strength lead to a more foundational grasp of courage?
Heavenly Father, instill in our hearts the courage that flows from Your divine protection and let the weapons we carry be the knowledge of Your presence and love. Keep us steadfast, knowing that You won't abandon us even in the darkest hour. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

"Fear not that the whirlwind will carry you hence,
Nor wait for its onslaught in breathless suspense,
Nor shrink from the blight of the terrible hail,
But pass through the edge to the heart of the tale,
For there is a shelter, sunlighted and warm,
And Faith sees her God through the eye of the storm.
The passionate tempest with rush and wild roar
And threatenings of evil may beat on the shore,
The waves may be mountains, the fields battle plains,
And the earth be immersed in a deluge of rains,
Yet, the soul, stayed on God, may sing bravely its psalm,
For the heart of the storm is the center of calm.
Let hope be not quenched in the blackness of night,
Though the cyclone awhile may have blotted the light,
For behind the great darkness the stars ever shine,
And the light of God’s heavens, His love will make thine,
Let no gloom dim your eyes, but uplift them on high
To the face of your God and the blue of His sky.
The storm is your shelter from danger and sin,
And God Himself takes you for safety within;
The tempest with Him passes into deep calm,
And the roar of the winds is the sound of a psalm.
Be glad and serene when the tempest clouds form;
God smiles on His child in the eye of the storm."
The Eye of the Storm by Lettie Cowman (1870-1960)

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

"Another age may learn to look upon our use of activities much as we look upon the use of the sword by an earlier age. Because in them money takes so prominent a place, ours may one day be known as the age of financial Christianity, just as we look upon that earlier age as the age of military Christianity. As we regard the sword so a later age may regard money. It may learn the wisdom of the Apostle and decline to use such an ambiguous weapon. If the sword was an ambiguous weapon which might easily confuse the issue, money and activities which depend upon money, are not less ambiguous and may as easily confuse the issue. The time is not yet full. We have yet to learn the consequences of our use of money." from Mission Activities [1927] by Roland Allen (1869-1947)

“Anything that’s not forbidden, is required.” 🎯 Too true. 🫠
It’s good to know it was given consideration from the outset. I would assume its explicit inclusion as a point of the protocol may have followed from similar considerations as those previously raised here re: control. Will be curious to see how that may be alternatively addressed, if at all.

2023-03-05 16:13:16

- reply

Reading up a bit more on this and found it interesting that initial intent for the protocol is that all communication would happen client-to-relay and relay-to-client. It was not intended that relays would talk with each other.
“Clients fetch data from relays of their choice and publish data to other relays of their choice. A relay doesn't talk to another relay, only directly to users.”

Do relays have to disclose this information (see quoted note below)? If so, where can it be found? And, if not, I believe this need be strongly encouraged or even built as a user-configurable restriction within the protocol. It could exist as an additional note tag - whether or not a note is available for rebroadcasting outside the relays set in a users .well-known/nostr.json file.
My preference, and I think many new user’s assumption, is that notes are published only to those relays on which I/they have opted to write. A restriction of this sort should also make running delete events more reliable. If nostr is to be a censorship-resistant protocol, keeping content control in the hands of the author seems key.
Your thoughts?

I lean toward disagreeing with this. I think there is still a place for the 'like' – it is distinctive in its own right (wrong as it may often seem and do). In my mind, our actions in this digital social sphere map as thus…
'reply' furthers discourse/dialogue (cost: time)
'repost' communicates agreement/solidarity (cost: reputation)
'like' signals approval/consent (cost: none)
'zap' identifies/recognizes value (cost: money)
Our correspondence, kinship, and connection (whether IRL or not), need not always cost. We ought leave some space for the informality.

While each client may have their own suggestions, there is no default, per se. The site nostr.watch can help in determining the reliability and reputation of relays. I've also found that inspecting the relays to which other folks are connected has been of use when setting up my own connections.
