Important Tips

• Patience: Seeds can take 4-8 weeks to germinate, and date trees are slow-growing.
• Pollination: If growing from seed, you will not know the gender of the tree until it is mature (5–10 years). You will need both male and female trees for fruit production.
• Humidity: Covering the pot with plastic initially helps maintain high humidity for the sprout

Proverbs 15 ... todays reading lands ....

A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools pour out folly.

The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

.....

Lots of great reflections throughout chapter 15

15:1 reminds me of a few experiences this week. Just saying:)

harsh words said between people does set a tone and has consequences 

think on it and reflect, get wise 

Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household,but he who hates bribes will live.

ends with ...

Whoever ignores instruction despises himself,
but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.
The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.

Weird how you get a new word, this one came about as a typo, not the word perse, but the use of the word. 

I was typing "creating" and the font was so small, I didn't see that it was typed "cresting" 

Checked on the meanings, and this is what the global bots delivered ... 

What is the other meaning of crest?

as a verb, it means to reach this highest point or to top something.

It can also describe ridges on bodies, roads, helmets, or machinery.

The point of the creating wealth story was that we were are actually taking care of clients and potential clients that have already created wealth, and perhaps the most wealth te=hey may ever have. Our role is to preserve, grow that wealth, derive an income from it and plan for it's succession to the eventual heirs.

So perhaps cresting has a place in this converstion. 

Synonyms of cresting
peaking.
surging.
increasing.
proliferating.
escalating.
mounting.
swelling.

Definitions in money context

In a financial context, CREST (Certificates Registry for Electronic Share Transfer) is the central securities depository for the UK and Irish markets, facilitating the electronic settlement of stock transactions. It allows investors to hold shares digitally rather than using paper certificates, enabling same-day clearing and settlement.

Key Details About CREST:
Purpose: It acts as the infrastructure for transferring ownership of securities (equities and gilts) and handling related money payments.
Operation: Managed by Euroclear UK & International, it ensures that shares are traded without the need for physical certificates.
CDIs: CREST issues CREST Depository Interests (CDIs) to allow UK investors to hold and trade foreign (non-UK) shares.
Settlement: It operates a "delivery versus payment" (DVP) system, ensuring securities are transferred simultaneously with cash payment, which reduces risk.

If referring to "crested" in a general economic sense, it means a financial metric (like debt) has reached its peak level before falling.

morning message from Napoleon Hill Archives 

there is more to the message, it is however one of the reasons I have my face on our Natures Energy Waters business card. 

* Lead From the Front
------------------------------------------------------------

True leadership is earned through example, not authority. The leaders who gain lasting respect are those who share the effort and responsibility with the people they guide. They do not demand sacrifices they would refuse to make themselves.

When you treat others with fairness and dignity, and when your actions reflect the same standards you expect from them, trust develops naturally. People willingly follow leaders who demonstrate commitment through their own work.

Leadership is not about standing above the effort—it is about standing within it. Those who carry their share of the burden inspire loyalty and cooperation. When others see that you are willing to give more of yourself than you require from them, respect follows without being asked.


** “The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and shortcomings of his followers.”
—Napoleon Hill

10 traits to get right and right away 

** Guard Your Mind From Hidden Motives
------------------------------------------------------------

Not every piece of advice is given for your benefit. Sometimes criticism of others or “helpful warnings” are merely attempts to influence your thinking for someone else’s advantage. Words that appear generous on the surface may quietly serve another person’s agenda.

History and experience both show that generosity can sometimes mask control. When someone consistently frames their guidance as protection or concern, take a moment to examine the motive behind it. Thoughtful listening is wise—but unquestioned acceptance is not.

Respect the opinions of others, but never surrender ownership of your judgment. Consider advice carefully, weigh it against your own goals and values, and decide what truly serves your path. In the end, the most reliable compass for your life is your own clear and independent thinking.

** “Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them.”

Persuasion and Skin in the Game

"Advocates for just about anything are more convincing when they can prove they have “skin in the game.” And the skin that matters most is shared experience.

When someone lives within the same constraints, accepts the same tradeoffs, and faces the same risks, their message carries a different weight. It no longer feels self-interested. It feels tested.

The best advocates follow their own advice, use their own products and services, and operate under the same conditions as the people they want to persuade. They know words alone can inform, but shared experience convinces.

Take a hard look at what you, your team, or your organization sells, promotes, and advocates for. Does everyone in the organization eat their own cooking? If not, it’s time to fix that.

Taking your own advice and using your own services and products transforms claims into commitments.

When an advocate visibly practices what they preach, it lowers resistance and strengthens credibility. It says they stand behind their advocacy with their own choices and actions.

There is nothing more persuasive and convincing.

Ultimately, having skin in the game is about shared consequences, too. Whether through time, money, reputation, or shared experience, if things go poorly, the person advocating feels the pain as well.

Everyone knows that words are inexpensive and engagement is costly.

That’s why the best organizations in the world insist that every leader, team member, and advocate live by their own rules and swallow their own medicine.

Matching deeds to declarations lays the groundwork for persuasion. Without living the proof, advocacy is just another sales job.

AI quick snap shot

• Shared Experience: When advocates share in the same constraints and risks, their message carries more weight and credibility. This shared experience is crucial in building trust and credibility. 

   

  1
• Accountability: Having skin in the game means that advocates are personally responsible for the outcomes they advocate for. This accountability can lead to more genuine and persuasive advocacy. 

   

  1
• Practical Use: In various contexts, such as business, politics, and everyday choices, showing that you have skin in the game reflects genuine trust, alignment, and accountability. This principle can transform how people trust and align with you. 

   

  1
• Origins and Usage: The phrase has deep roots in finance and investments, where it signifies that you trust a venture more if the person advising it has their own money involved. It has also been adopted in pop culture and everyday language, emphasizing the importance of personal investment in decisions and outcomes.

  In summary, "skin in the game" is a timeless principle that can significantly enhance persuasion and trust in various contexts. It is a reminder that personal involvement and accountability are key to effective advocacy and leadership.

" Looking for a deep dive in tax land, Kim Moody is the go to , get on board, subscribe, but I must warn you, you may end up paying less tax, if you're really good, you may get to pay more tax, and become a happier tax payer, the mission is to keep more of the growing middle. I was going to say happy tax payer, happier is a more honest approach to tax. Anyway, this post is about getting on board, embracing, to sum a boring topic, tax is not boring. It is a wealth distribution system, designed to build a better society. Now Don’t let Kim's last name get in the way, I knew a moody Kim once, I highly recommend this Mr Moody, if you're interested in hearing his message on tax, I have lead the way to do this easily, so in the meantime ( yes she was mean sometimes), let's all agree that the price we pay for the goose who lays the golden eggs, and yes, Kim and I think the goose eats to much, however, as my mentor would say, let's not let one appetite accuse another, at times we all eat too much. Cheers 🥂 TLR

A good reminder on the calendar today, Aristotle noted that " Wealth consists more in enjoyment than in possession." 

So true, valued insight into one of the drivers in our lives. It's what we focus on, building wealth for others, and helping those that have built to protect, grow, distribute, provide an income, so that they can enjoy this possession for the rest of their lives, and perhaps a legacy for future generations.

Todays devotion , a reminder it's not just about the money, it's the legacy and the ability to enjoy life, priorities, privileges, making decisions, being better, being happy, regardless of how you may feel, keep going. Move with purpose. TLR

·
I try to stay in the place of neutrality with intention to hear both sides. Sometimes neutrality wont cut it. I Read this today, and was deeply convicted. This is an American speaking, being Canadian doesn't change the essence of what has been written.
I didn't repost directly from the person, because its not something that anyone should get more likes or make money from.
What is our world coming to?

Something is being asked of the Church right now that we don't have a category for. I want to try to name it.
Most people haven't read the files. We have opinions about things we haven't seen with our own eyes. Most people won't read them. The documents are massive, the details are nauseating, and honestly, your brain—quite mercifully—would rather not go there.
So I went there for you. Not to report what I found—some things aren't mine to name, and some things aren't appropriate to share—but to sit with it long enough to ask what it requires of us.

I've read hundreds of pages, watched more interviews than I can count, and sat with this for a long time before writing a single word. The emotionally charged nature of it all makes it dangerously easy to say something reckless. But I've also learned that silence, when children are the victims, is its own kind of recklessness.

So here's what I need to say, and I need you to stay with me.
This is not a partisan issue. There are perpetrators on both sides of the aisle, among the politically powerful and the culturally elite, people whose names have been defended by some and demonized by others. The exploitation didn't follow party lines. The cover-ups didn't either. And if we're honest—painfully, gut-wrenchingly honest—the reason this network flourished for as long as it did is because powerful people on *every* side had something to lose by exposing it.
And that should shake us to our core. Not because of what it reveals about them, but because of what it reveals about us.
Here's the thing nobody wants to talk about:
We have built an American Christianity that is exquisitely skilled at straining gnats and swallowing camels. Jesus said that. Not me. He looked at the most religiously committed people of His day and said, "You hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness" (Matthew 23:23, NIV).
We will go to war over worship styles and Bible translations. We will split churches over carpet colors and song selection. But when it comes to the systematic exploitation of children by the most powerful people in our society?

Crickets.
Or worse: an algorithm-curated silence that lets us pretend we never saw it.
These were children. Some of them younger than your kids, your grandkids, your students. They had names before they became files. And the gospel that announces Jesus as King is the same gospel that declares their lives sacred, their suffering seen, and their abusers accountable before a throne that no election can touch.

And I get it. I understand why we go quiet. Because this isn't just overwhelming. It's disorienting. When the faces attached to these crimes include people we voted for, donated to, watched on television, or held up as examples of success, something inside of us breaks. We don't just lose trust in a person. We lose trust in our own judgment. And rather than sit in that grief, we do what empire has always trained us to do.
We pick a side. We point fingers. And we move on.

The sheer volume of names, the widespread nature of the corruption, the wealth and influence involved… it's designed to overwhelm you into inaction. Your brain will crash before it can even begin to name what you're feeling. And in that numbness, the Overton window closes in. Your feed refreshes. A new outrage cycle begins. And the victims? They disappear again.

But the gospel won't let us look away.

There's a moment in Matthew 20 that has haunted me throughout this whole ordeal. The mother of James and John approaches Jesus and asks Him to seat her sons at His right and left hand when His Kingdom comes. It's a power grab. A request for proximity, influence, status.
Jesus looks at them and says something devastating: "You don't know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" (Matthew 20:22, NIV).
The cup. In Scripture, the cup is never filled with applause. It's filled with suffering, with grief, with the weight of a broken world pressing down on you until you think you'll collapse beneath it. And Jesus is asking: “Can you hold this?”
These files are a cup. Not the cup of salvation. A cup of reckoning. And I believe Jesus is pressing it into the hands of His Church right now, asking us the same question He asked James and John.

Can you drink this?

Can you look at the names without rushing to defend your guy? Can you grieve for victims you've never met and never will? Can you resist the urge to turn this into ammunition for your political tribe? Can you hold the horrifying tension that people you trusted—people on *your* side—may have participated in unspeakable evil? That they have forfeited any right to power, platform, or public trust?
Can you sit in that without running away?

Because here's the part of the story we always forget. James and John said yes. "We can," they told Him. They had no idea what they were agreeing to. But they said yes.

And later, Matthew reveals who actually ends up at Jesus' right and left. Not kings. Not cabinet members. Not political allies. "Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left" (Matthew 27:38, NIV).

The seats of honor in the Kingdom weren't thrones. They were crosses.
This post is not about the files. Not really.
The files are a symptom. They are the inevitable fruit of a world that runs on power, secrecy, and self-preservation. Empire always produces this. Always. It concentrates power at the top, shields the powerful from accountability, and sacrifices the vulnerable to protect the machine. There is no number of bodies too great that empire won't bury to protect itself.
And the Church is supposed to be the alternative.

We are supposed to be the people who protect the powerless, who refuse to look away, who speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy" (Proverbs 31:8–9, NIV).

But somewhere along the way, we traded our prophetic voice for a seat at the empire's table. We fused the cross with the flag so seamlessly that we can no longer tell where our faith ends and our politics begin. And when the empire's sins are exposed, we don't know how to respond because we've been chaplains to the very system that enabled the harm.

This is not a Left or Right problem. This is an allegiance problem.

When most of us say "justice," we mean vengeance. We mean we want them to suffer the way they made others suffer. And I won't pretend there's no part of me that understands that impulse. But the Kingdom doesn't offer us vengeance and call it justice. It offers us something harder and, I think, more devastating to the powerful: accountability that cannot be bought, appealed, or escaped. Not retribution. A reckoning that no news cycle can close.
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8, NIV).

You cannot pledge allegiance to a political party and claim undivided loyalty to King Jesus. The moment your loyalty to a party makes you hesitate to condemn the exploitation of children at the hands of your tribe, your allegiance has been hijacked. And the gospel demands you get it back.
What does it look like to demand that accountability without becoming the thing we're angry at?

Rulers come and go. Parties rise and fall. Empires crumble. But Jesus reigns. Not by vote, not by force, not by cultural influence, but by virtue of who He is: the crucified and risen King who conquered death not with weapons, but with wounds.

His Kingdom doesn't start in Congress. It doesn't start with an election. It doesn't start with outrage or advocacy or even justice.

It starts at the cross.

Where power is surrendered, where the condemned are embraced, and where the empire's logic is finally, permanently shattered.

You don't have to fix this.

You have to refuse to look away.

In a world drunk on power, that refusal might be the most dangerous thing you'll ever do.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.

"Integrating faith into the marketplace transforms daily work from a mere job into a ministry, focusing on stewardship, integrity, and service rather than just profit. "Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." "When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance." "Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." "We are twice armed if we fight with faith."

I was reading a wonderful post on pain this evening on one of my marketplace site and I hesitated to share, then I realized that I should and though I do not need to support or justify sharing , I thought it would be good to see what others have said about the matter in some great quote. I pieced together my opening words above. It is about stewardship and our faith is important in all things, so I am reminded that we need to be able to say Well Done with God in mind in the marketplace so that others may become our brothers and sisters and those that are already be encouraged to do so in their fields. - TLR
