Let's Talk About Love
For all its fluffy, gushy hoopla, Valentine’s Day is a significant day. Sure, the card/flowers/candy companies have inflated it more than a little, but Valentine’s Day is not merely sentimental. If you’re like me, the day is a mile marker of sorts. When I look back on Valentine’s Day five, ten, or twenty years ago, it’s interesting to reflect on what it meant to me at different stages of my life.
Eight years ago, for example, I sat in a swanky restaurant with a man I had only just met. I thought he was crazy to ask me out so soon—on Valentine’s Day, no less!—but ten months later we would be engaged. Valentine’s Day is now our “first date anniversary.”
Fifteen years ago I was a sophomore in college, and very single. Both of my roommates had serious boyfriends, so they were out having a romantic evening. My night, on the other hand, involved some form of wallowing.
Twenty-five years ago, I was a fourth grader. That year, I wrapped a shoe box in red heart wrapping paper, dotted it with more heart stickers, and cut a hole in the top. I then assembled twenty-four Bugs Bunny Valentine’s cards for the annual card and candy exchange. Back then, I wasn’t concerned about finding a boyfriend so much as gathering a stockpile of candy.
The personal significance of Valentine’s Day changes over the years, and for kids it’s usually quite simple: Valentine’s Day is fun. However, as our kids grow older and Valentine’s Day begins to MEAN something, that significance is accompanied by cultural messages about “love.” As a parent, I want to be a part of that learning process.
In our culture, “romantic love” has a rather self-centered bent to it. Romantic love is supposed to complete us. Marital love is supposed to make us happy. “Love” and “self-fulfillment” are nearly one in the same. In fact, our culture (through books, movies, reality television and more) implies that without romantic love we are somehow incomplete (thank you, Jerry Maguire). In a desperate effort to fill that void, people often justify personal compromise and bad decision-making. Alternatively, “love” can also carry less weight than it should, with people demonstrating flippant relationships like one-night stands and “friends with benefits.”
Before my kids absorb those distorted messages about romantic love, I want to counter those messages with truth, and Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for those conversations. So, as Valentine’s Day approaches, here are some fun topics for conversation that can help your kids develop a more Christ-like understanding of love. These questions are appropriate for different ages, and they are only the tip of the iceberg, but hopefully they can inspire you, and your family, to go a little deeper with Valentine’s Day:
• Besides romantic love, what other kinds of love are there?
• Is romantic love the most important kind of love? Why or why not?
• In what ways does God show His love for us (1 John 3:16)?
• How can we show our love for God?
• The Bible says to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31). How can you love your friends, or your siblings, as yourself?
• Jesus also teaches us to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44)? Who are the hard people in your life, and how do you think you can love them?
• The Bible says it is not enough to love people with our words, but to SHOW them our love (1 John 3:18). Why do think your actions are more powerful than your words?
In John 13:35, Jesus reminds the disciples that they will be known by their love. In a world of conditional love, cheap love and self-centered love, it’s never too early to start teaching our kids about Jesus’ “different kind of love.” And more importantly, it’s never too late to talk about God’s love for us, and how to bear witness to it. God’s love is a whole lot harder, and much more self-sacrificing, than mushy Valentine’s Day love, but it’s also the only kind of love that is perfect, the only kind of love we were fundamentally created for, and the only kind of love that will actually fulfill us.
I want my kids to know that truth, on Valentine’s Day, and every day.

Just last month, I passed through what every crypto investor dreads. I lost 22 BTC to a sophisticated fake Bitcoin wallet app. It was a brutal and emotional blow. I had worked for years to build up that amount, only to watch it vanish in a matter of minutes. The scam was so convincing that I didn’t realize what had happened until it was too late. At first, I was overwhelmed with hopelessness, convinced I would never see my funds again. But then I discovered PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY, and everything changed. PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY is a specialized team of cryptocurrency investigators who focus on recovering stolen or lost crypto assets. From the very first interaction, they were professional, empathetic, and transparent about what the process would involve. They didn’t make unrealistic promises, but they assured me they would do everything in their power to help.Their team began by reverse-engineering the malicious smart contract that had drained my wallet. They performed a deep dive into on-chain analysis, tracing the path of my stolen BTC through various blockchain networks. Using advanced Cryptocurrency forensics, they were able to pinpoint where my funds had been moved, which included several obscure Asian exchanges. Then came the negotiation stage, where they applied legal pressure and technical evidence to push these exchanges into freezing the accounts linked to the scammer.After nearly three intense weeks, PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY pulled off what I thought was impossible: they successfully recovered 20.9 BTC, which is about 95% of what I lost. I was stunned and deeply grateful.This taught me two things. First, scams in the crypto world are more common and complex than most people realize.

My elation knew no bounds as my earnings began to surge higher. Intrigued, I increased my investment. This investment firm assured me that I could retrieve my profits after two months. Upon the expiration of those eight weeks, I attempted to access my invested capital, only to discover I was locked out of my account. My cryptocurrency investment had been compromised, and I was then instructed to remit a substantial sum to regain full access to my investment. I was utterly bewildered, as the amount demanded was exorbitant. I implored them to deduct the necessary sum, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. I then sought alternative methods to recover my hijacked crypto assets as time was going by, and my business capital, which I tampered with, was crumbling. I engaged with several crypto recovery specialists, but they all absconded with my funds, leaving me deep in debt. I cannot precisely recall how I encountered META TECH RECOVERY PRO, though I believe it was through Facebook. I contacted them, outlining my situation, and they assured me of a successful recovery, along with a forensic analysis of the data I provided. I harbored some skepticism during my interactions with META TECH RECOVERY PRO, yet they ultimately upheld their commitments. I successfully recovered my hijacked crypto assets, which were returned to my digital wallet. Kudos to the team of META TECH RECOVERY PRO, I really applaud their expertise.

The times have changed. Every day, technology is changing. There are recent developments that can identify the platform or exchange to which a bitcoin address belongs in addition to tracking it down. It is widely acknowledged that this is a significant step in the recovery of coins. Thanks to (wizardjamesrecovery @usa.com) and his crew, I was able to recover all of my money from this fraudulent binary options company after losing over $300,000 to binary options in this fake investment platform. If you need to retrieve your finds, you can mail them.
Last year, I dove into cryptocurrency, chasing dreams of financial freedom. Bitcoin’s allure was irresistible, and I invested my savings into a platform promising exponential returns. The site dazzled with sleek design, glowing reviews, and a vibrant community. Naively, I transferred my Bitcoin, ignoring subtle red flags. Weeks passed with no returns; then the platform vanished. My savings—years of hard work—were gone. The betrayal stung deeper than the financial loss, leaving me sleepless, haunted by regret. I contacted the platform’s “support,” but silence answered. I felt foolish, my dreams shattered.
A colleague, seeing my despair, mentioned Cyberpunk Programmers, a team skilled in recovering stolen digital assets. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out. Their response was immediate, professional, and empathetic. They explained their process—using advanced blockchain tracing and forensic tools—without overwhelming jargon. They didn’t promise miracles but instilled hope. Updates came regularly, detailing their progress in unraveling the scam’s digital trail. Their transparency eased my anxiety.
One morning, an email arrived: “Funds recovered.” Logging into my wallet, I saw my Bitcoin restored. Tears welled up—relief, gratitude, disbelief. Cyberpunk Programmers didn’t just recover my assets; they reclaimed my trust in justice. Their discreet, relentless expertise turned my nightmare into redemption. For anyone devastated by crypto scams, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They’re digital vigilantes fighting for victims, proving hope persists even in the darkest moments. Reach them at cyberpunkprogrammers.com.

I’ve always believed I had a good head for business. My wife, Tina, and I built a successful company in the Netherlands over two decades. By the end of 2024, we were ready to slow down—early retirement, smarter investments, and time to enjoy life.
That nearly vanished in a single mistake.
We had been watching the crypto space for years. In early 2025, we decided to invest—nothing risky, just to diversify. A platform came highly recommended. It looked legitimate, had strong performance claims, and offered dedicated support. After two weeks of research and discussions, we invested €150,000 in Bitcoin.
At first, everything seemed fine. The dashboard showed gains. We received regular updates from a personal manager. Then came requests: first a “security verification fee,” then a “tax clearance.” Before we knew it, the dashboard froze and support disappeared. The silence was devastating. We felt foolish. We were cautious people—how did we fall for this?
Late one night, I came across a thread mentioning Morphohack Cyber Service. No big promises, just quiet testimonials. Tina reached out. They responded within hours, requesting every bit of information. Their cyber team traced the funds using blockchain analytics and digital forensics. In less than 48 hours, we got a message: “Recovery in process. Funds secure.”
We checked our cold wallet. €148,000 had been recovered. Morphohack didn’t just get our money back, they restored our peace of mind. Since then, we’ve shared our story to help others. Scams don’t just take money, they steal your trust. But recovery is possible. Morphohack can be reached via E-mail: Morphohack@cyberservices.com
