Thank you for pointing out what comes next. I had not read far enough. It is very odd that the phrase "and afterward as well" was used.
Genesis 6:4 (BSB) "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown."
To God alone be the glory! From Philipians 2:13 (BSB) "For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose." He loves your daughter & grandchild. ❤️
Dear Lord, please let the Drs be extensions of your healing hands. Grant them the wisdom & discernment needed to understand any issues with Mom or baby. Jesus, you said bring the little children unto you. We lift this baby & Mom to you for your protection & healing. Grant them safe passage through this pregnancy, labor, & delivery. Fill Mom, Dad, & everyone who loves them & this baby with your peace, that they trust you in all ways. I ask all this in Jesus' Mighty name & to your glory. Amen.
To God alone be the glory! From Philipians 2:13 (BSB) "For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose." He loves you, StanceDancing!
Praise God.
Dear Lord, please put your hedge of protection around u/StanceDancing & all others in harms way. Give them an angel to guard & guide them, protect them from evil, let no harm befall them. We give you all the praise & glory for how you protect & provide us. Please provide StanceDancing and her ex all the people & resources they need to heal in body, mind, & soul. I ask all this in Jesus' Holy name & to your glory. Amen.
Praise God for a president who will read scripture that tells people to seek God, pray, humble themselves & repent.
Here is the reading, 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 (BSB)
"And Solomon finished the house of YHWH and the house of the king. And all that came into the heart of Solomon to do in the house of YHWH and in his own house, he accomplished. And YHWH appeared to Solomon by night and said to him,
“I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or if I lay charge upon the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people upon whom My name is called will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Now My eyes will be open, and My ears attentive, to the prayer in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there even to forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there all the days.
And you, if you walk before Me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My ordinances, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I cut with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not be cut off to you a man to rule in Israel.’
And if you⁺ turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments that I have set before you⁺, and walk and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land that I have given them, and this house that I have sanctified for My name, I will cast out from before My face, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all the peoples.
And this house that is a heap of rubble,† all who pass by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has YHWH done thus to this land and to this house?’ And they will answer, ‘Because that they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them, upon thus He has brought upon them all this evil.’” "
You would be amazed at how much gets ripped up and rebuilt in cities all the time. The idea would be to start with existing stock. A lot of cities have tons of vacant office space. Got a highrise? Make multiple floors your data center, all the piping can be run in interstitial space. The heat generated can be for the rest of the building or adjacent buildings. You can even run pipes under sidewalks to keep them from freezing in the winter. Many cities are doing this in very cold regions. Abandoned shopping malls are another opportunity. By the way, data centers won't be heavily staffed. A lot of highrise parking or shopping center parking can be freed up for non-tenant use.
Next, look at new construction. Big box stores going in? Put a data center under them. If a shopping district can have shops on ground level, with apartments above, why can't a data center be below it offering heat & hot water to the above ground uses? New construction would lend itself well to that.
It's a matter of looking at building in a different way. It's totally doable, you just need to get the people who want to conserve farm land and the architects who want to save the planet to team up against the mindset of every building needs it's own plot of land. This is totally something that can be incorporated into other projects, we just need to challenge ourselves to figure it out.
Big tech needs to build data centers in city areas where they can have "District Heating" by providing excess heat that heats water to distribute to the city buildings & residences. Buying up farmland for non-food producing ventures is destroying our future food supply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating
Thanks for the X search format info! I knew about From: but not the rest of it.
To God alone be the glory! From Philipians 2:13 (BSB) "For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose." God loves Bobby and is drawing people to lift him up in prayer. Bobby is not alone, and he is loved. ❤️
Lord, your Word tells us in Psalm 139:1-16 (BSB) "O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD. You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea, even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”— even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You. For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be."

Thank you & Bless your Holy name. I ask all this in Jesus' Holy & Mighty name. Amen

Dear Lord, lead this family to faith in Jesus who took their sins upon himself & paid the price with his life. Let them know his ressurection is proof that his sacrifice was successful & if we believe that & are baptized in the name of God the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit, their names will be written in the Lamb's book of Life & when they do leave this world, they will live in the house of the Lord forever. Please send healing to this beloved son. Destroy the cancer in his body. Let him & those who love him see you at work in their lives & give you the glory. I ask this in Jesus' Mighty name & to your glory. Amen.
Prayers for you & healing for your loved one, U/NanaQ45.

Dear Lord, please provide for u/Rando_47 in all the ways that they need assistance. Let their sleep be restfull, their work productive, their fears allayed, their peace secure in knowing that the God of the universe loves them & cares for them. Please send healing to their cat. Our furkids are family & we want what is best for them too. Please send the people & resources they need for any & all needs, spoken & unspoken. You know what they are & know just who and what needs to cross their path. Thank you, Lord for this & being steadfast in your love. I ask all this in Jesus' Holy name & to your glory. Amen.
I hope your cat gets better soon. Our older cat had the same reaction, including getting weak, but snapped out of it. She did not have a reaction the next time she had to have one.
Also, have you heard of the International Game Developer's Association (IGDA)? They have some free resources on their website. I don't know if they will be helpful for your game launch, but I thought I would pass the resource link onto you: https://igda.org/resources/
God loves you so much. Trust his plan.
" I give You thanks with all my heart; before the gods I sing Your praises.
I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.
On the day I called, You answered me; You emboldened me and strengthened my soul.
All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.
They will sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar.
If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.
The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever— do not abandon the works of Your hands." Psalm 138 BSB
