@RebeckaB 😊

@Pablito you're very welcome

Have missed doing them these past 6 weeks!

@Kruselady @Olamide @KarlGessler thank you 🙂
Felt good doing what we do

@RebeckaB Yes. I seem to be adjusting to the multiple medicines I now have to take for my heart. My energy levels are rising again as I adjust to our new normal, and I even managed to record one of my Andy B 2 Minute Videos, and edited, transcribed, and published it...that, for me, was one ridiculously productive day - as I achieved more, today, than I've managed to achieve for about 6 weeks!

God is good and I am blessed

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Peace Through the Trials, S4, E21

So this is one of Andy B’s extended 2 minute videos. But, after a hellish November, and nearly 6 weeks with no filming anything, it seems fitting!

As people, we want to control the situations around us, to make us safe. But we also have to learn, as we mature, to be able to discern which battles we should enter, and which battles we simply need to accept. Not accepting them in terms there is nothing we can ever do about it. But accepting that there are some battles we just need to leave to one side.

And the Bible tells us not to be anxious. But, it also tells us that, when we are anxious, we are go to God.

So when you have a month like we had – our November troubles – how do you find or maintain peace through that?

Just a thought…

@Olamide @KarlGessler thanks for the inspiration

@tanjaostman 😞

@tanjaostman pretty much!

EU leader calling for EU wide forced vaccines

Concentration camps in Australia, Austria etc

Greece imposing finrs for over 70s, 112 euros for every month they don't get a vaccine

And the south African doctor who first discovered the new variant stating that it hasn't made a single person need medical intervention

@Olamide sounds about right to me

@KarlGessler isn't it ! 😊

@KarlGessler amen. I'd love to see that!!

@sinbach awesome to see this 🙂

Our police do something similar in the UK (loading a police van and dropping off the goodies at various places). Not sure what the military do, but I know they most certainly will not be doing nothing ! 😉

One thing the RAF does is fly a Santa Clause about to children's hospitals delivering presets...that makes me sob EVERY TIME I SEE IT!!!

@KarlGessler lol

I only ever grew a ward for a gospel message...2 months or so of growth, that I shaved off in front of a group of young children, wile talking about God's forgiveness, and how He makes brand new when we say sorry and become Christians

A couple of weeks later a 4 year old gave her life to Christ at a light party we put on 🙂
Praise God

@KarlGessler yes, God is good

I've DM'd with a few details of what also happened to us during just November!

Oh, and due to the risk of bleeding, our family concluded I should grow a beard, since shaving is the most coin cause for hospital visits while on blood thinners

And I don't like beards...but I do, now, own a bread trimmer 😂

And I got back in our studio today, for the time since October!!! Mostly tidying up and updating the computer, but it felt good to be back in there!

@KarlGessler no need to apologise

Hospital was hard! Heartbeat way too high (174). Finally got under control. I'm diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. And on blood thinners, BP meds and beta blockers to keep my heart lower, and that should prevent any further episodes.

Meds are until I see an arythmia specialist,

But I'm alive, and already adjusting to the meds...mostly

Doing everything to keep my heart beat low for 2 weeks ,then my own doctor has told me very slowly increase back to my usual exercise pace

God was so good to me. I got admitted to the cardiology ward overnight (which never happens) and my doctor tells me the consultant I saw is one of the best

So a rough month to say the least, starting with covid, ending with 2 hospital trips (1 lung infection) and going in a ward

Still, my heart is now beating peacefully, and I have hope that meds will not be permanent...losing weight is better than the meds, at defeating atrial fibrillation (quite the motivator)

@tymektt @sinbach 😅

@sinbach I'll never be unable to see that now lol

@tanjaostman they can be too close to the truth

BBC productions back when they were better!

@tanjaostman you ever seen Yes Minister or Yes Prime Minister

They were both a series made by the BBC. And appear rather, painfully, funnily, accurate on how politics really works

It's very dated, but, politics really changes

We love it and have the DVD box set
