Hey Traveler! DTF is a pitstop to refuel, not for too long as we’re training to be one percent better. Every other week we deep dive into the scriptures to share hope and encouragement just as Jesus commanded his disciples.
We’re also passionate about productivity and knocking off that work-life balance thing.
When you find joy at the end of Today’s volume, please pass in on to a friend.

Matthew 6:30
28⌄ “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29⌄ and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30⌄ Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
I really love Fashion. One time I bought this Jacket that cost thousands, but never get to wear often enough. Do I regret spending that much on it, not really but there’s heaps of ways to spend money.
All my spending obviously can not compare to what King Solomon could afford; yet the Bible exhalts the beauty of the ‘grass of the field’ over all his clothes; to make a good point. ie. God will clothe his people; made of his own Image even better than the Forest.
As Christians we have an abundance through the promise of Christ for eternity. The promise of overflowing Love.
Knock off the worry of tomorrow and learn to celebrate the little victories of Today.
In Sunday School we had this friend who couldn’t stop thinking about going to Hell. Each time we got into ‘deep’ conversations it would always come up. I thought it was the funniest thing because, as much as I thought myself a monster, it never really occurred to me that often that hell existed.
As an adult I know better.
Hell is standing still for too long.
It start’s with living passively; getting hung up on a line from the past.
Quit it.
Life is to be lived. How can you live if you can not celebrate what was worn yesterday?
Clothe yourself in gratitude at all times. Be like TYGA; it apparently means - Thank You God Always.
Thank God for that shoe you have before going for a new pair, that way you unlock your personal blessing.
We’ll leave it there for Today.
Remember TYGA.
“God’s blessing comes with a price and that is to be obedient, work hard and sacrifice.”
Have a creative and lovely week. Until next time, See ya!
Joke: The Stranger and the Cowboy
Edited By: Shai K.
A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new 2019 AUDI advanced towards him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man named Cliff in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses, and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, who obviously knows more than the cowboy, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Apple iPhone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S5® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 15-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Congressman for the U.S.Government," says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are, and you don't know how working people make a living –you know nothing about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.”
“Now give me back my dog.”
