As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
Proverbs 26:21 NKJV

It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 25:24 NKJV

Contentious people sadly start arguments. Social media reinforces their position, because it is in black and white

Doesn't make them right, though 😔

And we've met far too many over the years...we've learned to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit, say something, perhaps, but you can only say so much...

@tanjaostman I don't see this as likely at all, to be honest

Especially, not in England.

I hope I'm not wrong, but it doesn't very sound very British. And it sounds even less like something the Conservative government would do, or would allow

A Labour government? Wouldn't see it as so unlikely, but just not the Tory Party who hold the majority in the Parliament at present

Also, people are becoming increasingly hostile to additional vaccines over here - the opposite of the statement of the article

That's in social media though, albeit very strongly from what I read - which j wasn't seeing 6 or 12 months ago

Just my thoughts on the article...

@tymektt @Will @bethany @Olamide @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @sinbach @MaryMamuzich

Amen!! Perfect words and completely agree with you!!

Distractions are the devil's favourite trick

@tanjaostman 😂

@tanjaostman we generally just get either cold or colderrain...... 😂 in the summer we sometimes even get warm rain 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@sinbach er.........help.....

@tanjaostman it looks like Narnia 🙂

@MaryMamuzich it's a great training ground

Peter's ace!!

@tymektt can't beat fresh air at night!!

Our winter currently consists of damp air that sometimes becomes rain

@Cherishingsparrows2020 isn't it just 😊

I do so love our joy bringing little Peter.

Creativity is through the roof.

When we told him we had no money for Christmas this year, so wouldn't be buying presents, he took it with a smilez and the challenge was set

Then he went about and created his own range of Christmas presents for us.

An R2D2 pencil pot (for Steven), a spaceship (mine), Ewok (Jo's) and BB-8 coasters (Nathan's)

He's been stock piling old hot chocolate tins...and put them to good use

Peeling is occurring in the kitchen

So I'm drinking a cup of tea while the rest of my lovely family sort that part, since I can't do that bit

We've got a slow cooked lemon and herb chicken in the slow cooker (I did that), a [heavily reduced] joint of beef being seasoned and put in the oven too (so glad we forgot to take any food out for yesterday evening, cos we loads, and loads, of ace bargains at our local corner shop from their reduced section, which we helped clear a bit ;-) )

@MaryMamuzich thank you Mary. Totally agree

@bethany Merry Christmas to you in the North from the Berrybunch

Merry Christmas my lovely DingDash family

We started with bacon and scrambled egg, and opened the crackers - which Jo made from scratch since we couldn't get any.

She found the jokes online - apologies in advance. They say much of our collective humour I guess...so sorry in advance

Also, some riddles :-)

Have a fab day. Currently midday here in the UK

Andy, Jo, Steven, Nathan and Peter

(The ring photo is because me and the 3 boys saved up from May 2020 to our 25th Anniversary in November 2021 to replace Jo's engagement ring, to buy food, which we had to sell, back along - when we were both without work: I wanted a new photo for my phone home screen)

@Pablito @Olamide I will. It's a dream, but a distant one

We don't get much snow now either where we live...we cold rain, but that's about as close as we get lol

@katharos my family aren't big fans of black and white 🤣
