Somewhat interesting game ... opponent seemed reticent to approach 2 turns after I sacrificed a bishop, sensing, correctly, that I had some traps planned for them. I might illustrate in the future; opponent definitely didn't follow the norm after move #10 ...

Experimental game against a lower-ranked.
After he castled king-side, rook-controlled g and h files basically gave me a firing range.
Not my words below, and I'm not QUITE sure what to fully make of it, though it does have SOME allusions to Bible content that I've heard or read before, but it does have an interesting point of view:

IN 3 SHORT MONTHS, GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY EVERYTHING WE WORSHIP…
In three short months, just like He did with the plagues of Egypt, God has taken away everything we worship.You want to worship athletes, I will shut down stadiums and arenas.You want to worship musicians, I will shut down every venue.You want to worship actors, I will shut down theaters.You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market.You want to worship your own bodies, I’ll close down all the gyms.You want to worship your own intellect and pat yourself on the back with a graduation, I’ll close down your schools.You want to place your trust in your friends and not in Me, I’ll make sure you can’t even meet with them physically.You don’t want to seek my face and worship Me, I will make it where you can’t go to church.”“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”Maybe we don’t need a vaccine, maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world and have a personal revival where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters….JESUS!!!

I read somewhere that in the Greek, Hebrew, Ararmaic, or whatever language it was written, the word "wait" in "Wait on the Lord" refers not to waiting as people normally think of it, but serving expectantly, like a waiter in a restaurant "waits".
When reading the message of the previous post, it might be good to keep a passage like 2 Thessalonians 3, kjv, in mind, to keep or develop a more proper perspective.
