If you're waiting for a waiter, does this make you his waiter? 🤔
No. A waiter is someone who provides you with waiting like a toaster provides you with toast.
The villain and the hero share the same pain.
The villain says I suffered so everyone must suffer, the hero says no one should have to suffer like I did.
And the dad says, "You're suffering?! I was half your age when I did this task, so you better get tough and go do it. Get used to it so you don't have to suffer later."

Related: the Trump accounts are a scam. $1000 in an interest-collecting account for 60 years potentially gains more than what I heard was the quoted payout would be. Someone is getting the difference.
The hardest part of building wealth is getting to the point where your money starts doing real work. Before that, every contribution feels small. Progress feels invisible. You save, invest, stack, and...
Reading The Sovereign Individual and its breakdown of the power of compound interest over decades is what finally made it click for me. They used real numbers and achievable value by comparing it to a commonly extorted amount of tax. Effective.

Turns out I was also paid in a 1927 penny. I guess ceasing the production of pennies has people digging into their old stock.

I was just given change including a 1943 steel penny.

The ceremonial laws of Moses were pointers to Christ. Christ having come, we no longer need the pointers.
The WCF puts it like this:

I see your arguments convincing for why Christians might not celebrate a jewish passover ritual, but this was not what I was suggesting. The lord's supper was the passover explained, and it was taken on passover. We call it communion. Why would you avoid taking communion on the calendar day that it was first taken? Is it just to be extra careful that you don't don't blend with Judaism?
I know that you are vocally against dispensationalism, but it seems kind of dispensationalist of you to make the clear distinction between what was supposed to be practiced before Christ and after Christ. Isn't that the difference between what dispensationalists call the "Prophetic age" and the "Church age"?
Referencing WCF as an authoritative text is a reach. It was written by men. But thanks for all the other verses.

Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old brea...
Sounds like Corinthians is saying to keep the festival but with new understanding. Didn't Christ show us how to keep passover by making it a communion? He explained it so that it was plain and evident. Why not celebrate communion on passover when Christ did?

I think primarily because it was from the Old Covenant, and has now ultimately been fulfilled in Christ. But maybe we should take more time to remember what God did in history, and reflect on how that...
I think commmunion, at a minimum, should be celebrated at the time it was first taken, probably passover. Right?
So are you going to celebrate that fulfilled prophecy in God's designated way or in some other invented way? Why not celebrate the feasts that point to the event? They are timeless and God said to kee...
Did not Christ show us how to celebrate passover with the last supper? Why not just have a communion on passover? Christian congregations do not.
