@KarlGessler i read about a preacher (current!) who was criticised each week by his congregation - the following are what I remember of comments that came on the same day about the same sermon (can't remember where I read this now...perhaps 'Church Leaders' website?)
- sermon was far too long / sermon was far too short
- didn't use KJV / didn't use NIV
- too many anecdotes / not enough anecdotes
- you were too happy / you were too sad
- too many quotes of scripture / not enough quotes of scripture
there were MANY more
all in all, since we can never please everyone, there is no point expending all our efforts trying to please anyone...
...just doing, as faithfully, and as prayerfully as we can - what God is asking us to do π
there will always be critics...let us work so that God aint one of them ;-)

A day in which you decide to spend time with Jesus, is a day well spent. To live a life well lived, you have to decide it every day.

@mariapombo beautiful image...powerful words!
The spaces between the leaves, is the tunnel where the sun brings warm to those who need it. Maybe there are some holes in your heart, but His light will shine through, and your heart will be whole again. And His light will shine to warm many heart with His love. Our weakness, the best stage for His power. Don't be afraid, He sees in what you are becoming.

Andy B 2 Minute Video Vlog, Calendars, Organisation and Peace, S3, E10
Psalm 139 is a fairly well known piece of scripture, but it is verse 2 that really strikes Andy B as he considers Calendars, Organisation and Peace.
Psalm 139 v 2 tells us that God knows when we sit down and when we get up. So God definitely has a handle on what we can accomplish in any single day β for Him.

@tanjaostman that sounds extremely odd
I wonder what 6 months of peaceful existence and care might do for her mind....... :-( so very sad
@tanjaostman I truly don't understand it (conservatorship)
It seems more like a method of continuing to use her for the purpose of making money... rather than having any sense of caring for her...
Like I said, I really don't get it!
@tymektt on it
we're back onto Prayer 2:62 from next week so will add it, daily, then too! π
we were getting ready to film something this morning and, for the first time in AGES, we had two two flies bouncing around us.........bees we don't mind, but flies we tend to see as an interference and - at certain times anyway - not of the Lord!!
Andy B
@tymektt and keep moving onwards!! in His strength
@Natural we have flies but they're really dumb and annoying this year. We're in the UK.
We've lived near cow farms, and that gives you a certain perspective on numbers of flies!!
But these, this year, are slow, annoying, aren't bothered by us more often than not, and keep trying to land on us....something we're definitely not used to!
@sinbach enjoyed this, although I had to break it I to two parts
Perhaps because of our own journey, but I didn't find anything offensive in it...
Good stuff
Prayer 2:62 with the BerryBunch is changing and we're introducing some brand new elements to what we're doing, after more than a year.
Daily Family Prayers and Peter's Prayer Vlog are two of those elements.
And with Peter's Prayer Vlog you can expect regular encouragement and tips on how to pray.
