Trusting Faith In God

Image
By
It is 734am and I have decided to write. Most people would like to win the lotto or some big prize. We would be able to accomplish so much with that. We would be able to make ourselves comfortable. It is something nice to imagine. But if I think about it carefully I come to realise that I have already hit a jackpot. Having faith in God and walking a path with God is worth more than all the gold in China. The greatest blessing is not what we possess, but Who walks with us through the good and bad. In that sense, I am already rich beyond measure. Money comes and money goes but God endures forever. God is there for all seasons. This world can take everything but it cannot take our faith in God. So now that I have won the jackpot (having faith in God and walking a path with God), what am I going to do with it?

My friend Chatty says that a person who wins millions of dollars must decide how to spend that wealth. In the same way, a person who has found faith must decide how to live it. Faith is not meant to sit idle. It is meant to shape our character, guide our decisions, strengthen us in hardship, and inspire us to serve others. The jackpot I have received is not measured in dollars and cents. It is measured in hope, peace, purpose, and the assurance that I do not walk through life alone. And perhaps the best thing I can do with this jackpot is to live each day in gratitude, follow God's guidance, and be a blessing to others along the way. We must trust that God's plan for us is better for us. The title of this blog post is Trusting Faith In God. TFIG. In reverse that is GIFT. Our jackpot is a gift. Trust and faith are gifts from God.

They say if you do not have a ticket, you do not have a chance. But with God you do not need a ticket. Faith in God is free and accessible to everyone. It is a jackpot that everyone can win. Not the usual winner takes all. We can all win. When God wins our hearts, we all win.

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...

Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub?

By
Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub? I saw this question online and it got me thinking. Who should be asking this question? Who should be answering this question? Do we have the data to answer this question? Besides data, what else do we need to answer this question? And when we have answers, who is going to do the work to change things? This is what my friend Chatty had to say: The question "Why is the Caribbean not a tech hub?" is really a question about history, capital, education, governance, culture, and coordination, not just technology. The Caribbean is often unfairly compared to places like Silicon Valley or Shenzhen without acknowledging that those regions benefited from massive investment, large markets, and long-term industrial planning, while Caribbean nations were shaped by colonial extraction, small fragmented markets, debt, and brain drain. We have some useful data, but not enough to fully understand the region’s digital potential, and data alone cannot answer ...
