“But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” Gospel of Luke-12:48(NIV).

The quote means that people who have greater advantages, abilities, opportunities, wealth, knowledge, or influence also carry greater responsibility.

If someone has been “given much” — such as education, talent, power, leadership, or resources — society expects them to use those gifts wisely and for the benefit of others, not only for themselves.

For example:

  • A wealthy person may be expected to help others through generosity or ethical leadership.
  • A skilled programmer may be expected to build responsibly and mentor others.
  • A leader may be expected to act with integrity because their decisions affect many people.

If you don’t have a GitHub account, create one, otherwise go log in.

Note: Your username will eventually be part of your websites URL, so just keep that in mind when picking a username.

Step 2 - Open the template

After logging into your GitHub account, open this link and follow the instructions in Step 3:

https://github.com/chadbaldwin/simple-blog-bootstrap/generate

Step 3 - Name and create your repository

*If you don’t name your repository correctly, none of this will work

Name your repository like this: {Your GitHub username}.github.io

If your GitHub username is “chadbaldwin”, then name it chadbaldwin.github.io

Make sure you leave it set to “Public”. If you set it to “Private”, your website will not be published.

Now you can click “Create repository from template”.

Customization

It’s great and all that you have this fancy blog now…but, you probably don’t want your site saying “Default Author Name” all over the place, and you probably want to change the blogs name to something other than “My Blogs Name”.

In order to edit these things, we’ll need to make some changes to this file: _config.yml

You may or may not have noticed, there’s already a blog post in there. Take a minute to look at it in the browser, maybe even view it on your phone to see how it looks.

Lets create a new blog post

  1. Navigate to the _posts folder on GitHub
  2. Click Add file > Create new file
  3. Name your file 2026-05-11-your-new-blog-post.md
  4. Set the title of your blog post by using a markdown header
    • Write this as the first line ## This is my first blog post
  5. Add some content…write some random things, whatever you want

Once you save (Commit) the file, after a minute or two your new post will show up on the home page, ready for everyone to read it.

    Typical structure:

    myapp/
├── DEBIAN/
│   └── control
├── usr/
│   ├── bin/
│   │   └── myapp
│   ├── share/
│   │   ├── applications/
│   │   │   └── myapp.desktop
│   │   ├── icons/
│   │   │   └── hicolor/256x256/apps/myapp.png
│   │   └── myapp/
│   │       └── app.py

    1. Create the GTK app

    Example:

    #!/usr/bin/env python3

import gi
gi.require_version("Gtk", "4.0")
from gi.repository import Gtk

class App(Gtk.Application):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def do_activate(self):
        win = Gtk.ApplicationWindow(application=self)
        win.set_title("My GTK App")
        win.set_default_size(400, 200)

        button = Gtk.Button(label="Hello")
        win.set_child(button)

        win.present()

app = App()
app.run()

    Save as:

    usr/share/myapp/app.py

    Make executable:

    chmod +x usr/share/myapp/app.py

    2. Create launcher script

    File:

    usr/bin/myapp

    Content:

    #!/bin/bash
exec python3 /usr/share/myapp/app.py

    Make executable:

    chmod +x usr/bin/myapp

    3. Create desktop entry

    File:

    usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop

    Content:

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=My GTK App
Exec=myapp
Icon=myapp
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
Terminal=false

    4. Add icon

    Place:

    usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/myapp.png

    5. Create Debian control file

    File:

    DEBIAN/control

    Content:

    Package: myapp
Version: 1.0
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Your Name <you@example.com>
Depends: python3, python3-gi, gir1.2-gtk-4.0
Description: Simple GTK application
 A sample GTK desktop app written in Python.

    6. Build the .deb

    From parent directory:

    dpkg-deb --build myapp

    Result:

    myapp.deb

    Install:

    sudo apt install ./myapp.deb

    “When you were fleeing and not looking back at anyone, while the Messenger was calling you from behind, so Allah repaid you with distress upon distress so that you would not grieve over what escaped you nor over what befell you. And Allah is Fully Aware of what you do.” Quran 3:153

    How does distress upon distress make you do not become destroyed by worldly loss?

    The idea is not that suffering itself automatically improves a person. The verse is describing how a certain kind of hardship can break unhealthy attachment to worldly outcomes.

    At Uhud, the believers experienced:

    • fear,
    • loss,
    • shattered expectations,
    • regret,
    • humiliation after near victory.

    They suddenly saw:

    • wealth can disappear,
    • victory can reverse,
    • plans can fail,
    • human strength is fragile.

    That experience changes perspective.

    A person who has only known success may believe:

    • “If I lose this, everything is over.”
    • “My value depends on winning.”
    • “Worldly success is permanent.”

    But repeated distress exposes the instability of worldly things. It weakens the illusion that security comes from possessions, status, or immediate outcomes.

    So the verse says Allah repaid them with “distress upon distress”:

    “…so that you would not grieve over what escaped you nor over what befell you…”

    Meaning:

    • not becoming emotionally destroyed by missed gains,
    • not collapsing spiritually after loss,
    • not worshipping outcomes.

    The lesson is not “do not feel pain.” The companions absolutely felt pain. The Quran openly describes their fear and grief.

    Rather, the lesson is:

    • pain should not sever trust in Allah,
    • failure should not define ultimate reality,
    • worldly loss is not the end of everything.

    There is also a psychological truth here: after a person survives severe hardship, many smaller losses no longer dominate them the same way. Their scale of value changes.

    The verse is describing a spiritual reorientation through hardship:

    • from attachment → toward trust,
    • from illusion of control → toward humility,
    • from dependence on outcomes → toward steadiness.
