Anne's Custom Catering

 rain saturated the ground for the week before any of the Helene’s rain came. Then on Wednesday we had a day long downpour that everybody thought would lead to flooding, but it was just normal high Creek water. But what I noticed was that all the ditches were full, all the catchment basins were full. The yards were full. If we had a rain like that, we usually have one or two a year, it would turn into significant flooding coming back to back. Thursday it started to rain. This was Helene, a downpour that was just unrelenting all day. Power went out around 8 o’clock maybe earlier. And the rain continued like a cloudburst except all night long. At 6 o’clock. I got up and by seven light was beginning to pe*****te, but the rain was still coming down horizontally and sheets I drove around the neighborhood and found our entire end of town was trapped either by fallen trees or by streams, which you’ve seen the pictures of below swelled 100 yards 50 yards on the side of creeks out of their bank.  the main road to Montreat is high ground, but it was a 45 inch river and the roads coming into it out of the higher mountains looked for all the world light streams complete with boulders rushing in. The poor people lived in trailer parks along the stream below our house so I knew this is not going to be good for them. I tried to get down there, but was blocked as I found out later by four different tree Falls when I was walking later in the morning. The good and the bad about Mountain flood is they don’t cover a very wide area because of the steepness of the terrain. however, that benefit is more than made up for by the evil of the fact that all the water is focused and a very narrow channel and completely obliterates beyond hope of rescue anything in its path. We had water through Friday the next day, however, because the sewer plant was beside the French broad river was not merely flooded. It is no more. Water is cut off while they find the broken sewer lines many of which were exposed by the flood since they are down by the streas. Water flows downhill sewer is water and the lowest spot in any terrain is the stream bed, sewers are built in stream beds. This is a flood that exposed many sewers, even though buried four and five and 6 feet underneath the stream. That’s going to be the part of the recovery that takes the longest to fix. I still don’t know where it goes when we flush, so far, they’ve asked us to build outdoor privies. But.

They pulled 8 bodies out of the Swannanoa River behind Moments while Anne was cooking for the survivors of the flood and dam breach. They’re finding more. Choppers are scouring the tops of trees in the flood path. Ran out of body bags. All this between Swannanoa where our coffee shop and catering service is and Black Mountain.

Anne cooked 3 days days so we could feed another 300 with our church.

In the earlier posts there are pics of Anne. The door shot shows of the kitchen you how dark it was. The interior shots was the telephone’s auto lighting auto tech making it look bright. It wasn’t. She took her little dime store flashlight scurrying around like a 10 man crew.

I just got word from a source so far above my paygrade that I sound now like every conspiracy theorist I have ever heard disgorge on the future. "My sources tell me . . ." But the powers that be (who knows who "they" are) are going to precipitate events, a melt down that will cause us to leave our socio-cultural-techno-niche and spring to a new niche which they are preparing for us.

The issue for him, is who will rebuild. . . .

This is a common thread of hope running through the tiny fragment of the Christian world that believes God will bring down the house so that they can rebuild.

Question: If we suck so badly that we allowed the world to get to the state of affairs that it must be crushed by God with an apocalyptic event . . . what on earth gives us the pride that He wants us to rebuild? Did the survivors of the fall of jerusalem hauled off into Babylon live to rebuild? No. They died castrated with hooks in their mouths. Did anyone survive the Assyrian captivity? No its why they call Hebrews "Jews" ever since the Babylonian captivity, no other tribes survived.

But we will survive to rebuild the world according to Biblical principles? Seriously, the people fleeing from modern and post modern culture building something anyone chooses to live in? They can't build that right now which is why they fantasize over end of world scenarios.

It just isn't likely. Just sayin'.

First of all, I don't think a TEOTWAKI event is coming.
What is coming is an event where all those cowering in the bushes praying for God to "Just end it all so I can show you how much I love you." These same people will grow a pair without need of thet end of the world event.

They will gain the courage to start leading their neighborhoods to Christ along with the nearest woke and Democrat and Republicrat around.

If you can't lead them to Christ,Today . . . if you don't think you can lead a mexican to Christ coming over the border you sure as hell will be worthless in rebuilding a new world after some sort of civilization ending event. Right now your Gospel is bankrupt. What gives it credit after a fall-out.

End of world is fundamentalist P**n imagining what a hero you would be if only you didn't have a modern world to live in.

What does the Bitcoin ETF mean?

"But how do you spend it?"
Good question in 2024.
"But what will these automobiles burn for fuel?"
Good question in 1898 when Gasoline was bought by the quart from your local apothecary. (That's a drug store for you millennials, but don't worry y'all get BTC whether the people who know what an apothecary is do or don't.)
"But what roads will these automobiles drive on?"
Good question in 1905. Are you still asking it today?
"But automobiles are immoral because it is government who built the roads." So don't buy a car and don't drive on them. Like that holds development back.

A Bitcoin ETF means that anyone can buy bitcoin on any major stock trading platform without having to commit to platforms that deal only in digital dollars.

Bitcoin has now entered the mainstream traditional financial system and is taking the next step of removing it, Banks, governments, Insurance companies, lending institutions, stock markets, even traditional corporation and all.

What is the purpose of Bitcoin?
To replace all governments and their central banks as the means through which money/cash is created, controlled and exchanged.

Who is the most suspicious of this Decentralized Digital currency?
Governments, Banks, Investment houses, and Gold backed and Hard Money Ideologues.

Wait! You're saying the Government and Banks agree with the Gold-Only people their mortal enemies? Yes, but for opposite reasons. The Government and Banks see Bitcoin as the end of their centralized control of the economy. Right we get that, but why do the gold-only people hat it? The Gold-Only people see it as a scam to draw us all into central government control.

What do I see?

I hope that Bitcoin or some better version of that technology can provide a decentralized way to bring an end to Government and Bank control of finance, information manipulation and fraud.

But what I see for sure is the following:

Fact: Gold is the same price as in 2012, 12 years ago. A store of value that cannot keep up with 3/4 of all dollars printed during that same time period is no longer a store of value. What is gold? Like guns food and feminine supplies, it is a hedge against the end of the world. No more, no less than insurance which should not be more than 7% of your portfolio along with upside down swimming pools in your back yard.

Fact: Bitcoin and some other Layer Ones have proven they are reliable decentralized means of holding and transferring value.
FACT: None of them have proven that they can scale to the necessary level of handling the transactions of 8 billion people, and $950 Trillion world economy.
Fact: the Crypto world trades in a four year boom and bust Cycle.

Fact: We are entering the 4th Bull Cycle and the world Traditional Financial Economy has made it possible to main stream and adopt Bitcoin, and the ETF which is the means of adoption has grown to 5 Billion in the first month and shows no signs of slowing down.

At this point, I don't know what will happen after 2025, but nations and all major financial institutions have been studying how to buy into the Crypto Market, particularly Bitcoin.

Conclusion -- I think whatever you hold in those assets from ETF to some form of Crypto itself, is going to 10X from January 2023 to October 2025. We are now, a year into the Bull market and crypto is up about 150% from January 23 to February 24. (Please call any fund manager who wants to handle your retirement and ask him if he can do even a 15% return. He will say something too good to be true probably is . . . except when it is true. The above are facts whether you like them or not. Not FACT Bitcoin will save the world, or really work etc. That remains to be seen. Reread the facts again.

I'm thinking for two years this will be boom town and toward the end of the 2nd year we will have a good idea if it can scale. If Bitcoin can scale then it must be able to withstand takeover., not because you or I or the Bitcoin whales and nations need to do something political, but because it really does perform as promised. That is what remains to be seen.

Common questions to put into historical perspective:

"But how do you spend it?"
Good question in 2024.

"But what will these automobiles burn for fuel?"
Good question in 1898 when Gasoline was bought by the quart from your local apothecary. (That's a drug store for you millennials, but don't worry y'all get BTC whether the people who know what an apothecary is do or don't.)

"But what roads will these automobiles drive on?"
Good question in 1905. Are you still asking it?

Toxic Masculinity or Feminity or any other good thing called “toxic” is when the strength of the good is used to control and “exercise authority” over others in a way that crucifies them for the benefit of those with the good thing gone toxic.

The fall is the toxic corruption of the Good by sin inclining those in possession of any good attribute or thing to use it to aggrandize and exercise their power and over others.

Jesus said “Let it not be so among you.”

Any attribute, thing, action, advantage, privilege whether given or earned is only Good when used ethically to meet someone’s need.

Those who tell us that it is The Church, Romannor Eastern who wrote or gave us God’s word, are in the odd position of saying the Church by recognizing the authority of the Holy Spirit vests His word with authority.

It’s like saying God had no Authority until Samuel vested Him with authority to speak that night in the Temple (or anywhere else).

What a more orthodox position would be is that God speaks with authority and those who recognize His words are shaped by them and teach according to it.
That the Church are those people who by the Spirit recognize His word, not vest it with power.

Those who reject his word or elevate theirs (or other’s) words to His level of authority, wander off to their own destruction.

As for the pride of thinking humans give God authority … surely the orthodox don’t believe that.

Do you really believe that when God spoke and creation came into existence that it was creation that vested God’s words with the power and authority to create?

That when God brings His Church into existence it is the church that authors His defining word vesting it with the authority to create His Church?
L

Think. Which of our fathers said that? I can’t think of one.

Yet today it is commonplace to hear people argue, “we would not have Scripture if the Church didn’t write them.”

That is as naive and arrogant as a parent taking credit for the miracle of Birth.

Jason Momoa spends 4 hours in a Hollywood make up chair with world class professional artists to look like this.
My friend who busks on drums in Asheville and washes our dishes at Moments Coffee shop as a second job wakes up every morning looking like Momoa wishes he could look.

You wish Momoa… you wish.
