Doing greater things than even Jesus

In the gospel of John, Jesus is quoted "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

That's a huge promise, doing things greater than the miracles of Jesus. While he was walking around 2000 years ago, he fed 5000 with a few fish and not even a basket of bread, turned water into wine, did all kinds of healing miracles on the blind, the sick, the paralyzed.

Today we are doing things even greater through science and thoughtful design. We have technology now that does more than just feed 5000 with a few fish. We can share knowledge and appropriate technology that creates 10's of thousands of new jobs enabling 100's of thousands to feed themselves and their family for a lifetime. One example is Kickstart MoneyMaker Pump. It costs $100 and can help a farmer go from $300 income a year to $3000 a year, creating 10's of thousands of jobs in the process. The power we have to care for others is greater than it ever has been and much of this power falls under the label social enterprise.

Is this fulfillment of prophecy?

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.  

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work.  After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work.  I went through a nearly  parallel issue with Google Compute Engine.  It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. :  I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.  I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms.  If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech,  I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money:  There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
