I wonder if you catch yourself looking forwards, worrying about the future.

Well, this #TestimonyTuesday really speaks of why we should trust God with our future – because He cares for us, and every single detail of our lives!

Heating Help
In the Spring of 2022 the UK saw a dramatic, and quite scary rise in energy costs. There were warnings from many charities all about the risk to life – as people would have to choose between either heating or eating. It wasn’t long before this doubling of energy costs would happen again – from October 2022.

The British government would step in – at the very last minute – to help the most vulnerable, and offer some financial help, although it was really not enough with people also having to deal with rising fuel costs for cars and rising food costs also crippling the ability for many to buy food, heat their homes and get to work.

S05E023, Splinters and Infections, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/756389871

While cutting back some hedges I had a sudden, sharp, whack to my hand from a branch that had whipped towards me. Unfortunately, there was a thorn on said branch which banged into my hand. The remnants of a thorn were still stuck in my glove! so I got a good chance to examine the offending article – it looked complete, so I’m not overly worried right now about anything remaining in my finger.

However, having worked around wood for long enough, I also know not to do nothing!

It was a long time ago that the wife of a carpenter – who also happened to work in a pharmacy - gave me some great advice. As she pointed out herself, if her husband went to the doctor or hospital for every splinter he got, he’d never leave the place! [READ MORE]

S02E010, Roles and Responsibilities, Part 1, Marriage Matters

https://vimeo.com/751820585

In this episode of Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo look at who does what in our relationships – to putting the bin out, cleaning, cooking, staying at home, going out to work and more – not an exhaustive list!

Actually, as Andy and Jo discuss the issues and share their own stories, it happens again, they both realise that one episode on this subject will not do justice to working out roles and responsibilities in Marriage – another Part 2 is promised!

This week, Andy B is on the ball and slick with the scripture, well there was just the one!

The Meaty Section
Andy and Jo chew through some difficult topics and try and make sense of it all.

#RealTalk and #RealLife is just what we do! [READ MORE]

S05E022, The Power of Friends, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/753975827

“You’ve got a friend in me” so the lyrics go from a song used in Toy Story. Wonder if you’re singing the rest of that song right now, or humming it and annoying your colleagues?

We are made to be with other people. God designed us to function in community – not isolation or solitude. He made us so we work best when we depend upon other people. That corporate effort is what can make the world sing, or scream. That depends on the other people…or does it? I’ll let you ponder that one on your own!

As a family we’ve been through all sorts of times in life, but while we have been forced to face some things alone, having people to support and help is always wonderful. [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 30.09.2022

Reminder – God’s in control. He has been all day long!

Andy B

It’s good to check in with God during the day, so take a brief pause every hour or so and reflect on this quote/image.

Hey up DingDash peoples 😁

Just over 40 minutes for my usual [nearly 10 mile] cycle

Considering I thought I was really tired and couldn't push much at all, that's nearly down to my best time! I thought I was barely moving...I felt like I was doing really rubbish!!

Funny how feelings can be so wrong...

@sinbach the leaves were green just a few days ago

Beautiful colouring!!

S05E019, Weather Forecasts and Wet Faces Part 1, Andy B 2 Minute Video

https://vimeo.com/754256341

We rely on forecasts for so many things. From weather forecasts for planting crops to financial forecasting to know where our finances will be. Forecasting can cost ridiculous amounts of money for the most accurate types.

But, the thing about forecasts is, no matter how expertly they done, they can be utterly and tragically wrong!

We hear ‘the facts about…’, delivered in such a way that we know we shouldn’t question it. But, question it we should!

You see, no matter how good as the computer is - providing whatever forecast we want - it is only as good as the data is given – supplied by humans, and as good as the programming is, supplied by humans.

And we humans are oh so very fallible!

We hear terms like ‘The facts about evolution’ but, at best, it is simply a theory that has never been proven. [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 28.09.2022

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
