Top 10 tips for 2025
Raise your hand if you remember this 
Today’s daily verse: Mark 10:45. In the first part of this verse, Jesus emphasizes that His purpose what to serve others, and not to be served Himself. In contrast to what we often expect of leadership of greatness, Jesus said that true leadership and greatness involves humility and serving others.
The second part of this verse states that Jesus came to give his life as a “ransom” for many. Ransom is the price that is paid to free someone who is captive. In this case, Jesus says that His life would serve as a payment for our sins, offering eternal life through Him.
Countries that are on more than one continent:
Some say Panama is split between both North and South America.
Today I learned that states can propose amendments to the US constitution. In Article V, if 2/3 of states agree, the government is constitutionally required to hold a convention to discuss amendments to the Constitution (focused on a single topic they propose). ¾ of states still have to ratify any new amendments proposed. I feel like people have forgotten about this, and it kind of seems like a cheat code to pass amendments.
This map shows state legislature control currently. Republicans have 29, Democrats have 19. 2 are split. If Republicans gained 5 states (not an easy task) they could force a constitutional convention.
Kazakhstan could technically join the European Union, if it was willing to, as it has a corner in Europe.
Russia would probably interfere though.

The Fall Line is a cool thing in the Southeast United States, where the land has a stark transition from soil types. The geography also changes from Piedmont (rolling hills, deciduous trees) to coastal plain (more flat, more pine trees) because of this. I’ve observed this in real life, it kind of splits North Carolina (and all the other states with it) into distinct sections, like the east vs the central part. It’s especially stark in Georgia, where the large majority of the population lives north of the line.
It also has determined where many large cities are. Richmond, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Raleigh, Columbia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Fredericksburg, Rocky Mount, Fayetteville, Augusta, Macon, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa are all on the Fall Line. One reason for this is because there are a lot of waterfalls on the line as it transitions, they built the cities on the coastal side (before the waterfalls) so ships could still get there.
I’m gonna try to make one post every day about something I’m interested in, like this.
I told my uncle about this because they visited there, they actually went to one of the $1 houses to see if it was a scam. It turns out they’re actually a great deal, if you’re willing to put in the work to make them livable.
Apparently you can get run down houses for $1.05 in Italy, and fix them up and live there. Pretty hype.
There’s nothing like running 13 miles during the golden hour in the North Carolina countryside…

Oh snap… They’re actually gonna win…
Syria going crazy again was NOT on my geopolitical list for this year…
The rebels likely aren’t gonna get much further than Aleppo but this means the war is probably gonna start back again. Just what we need, more chaos in the Middle East…
It happened AGAIN
