@DevotionalTreasures food is always a great example, because every single person on the planet eats!
would love to know what you think - i love your feedback!!!
@DevotionalTreasures @bethany always....keep it simple is my mantra in life
simpler equals less of me and more of Jesus
@bethany thanks Bethany - I really appreciate that. I hadn't done anything like this before, and really enjoyed it.
Anything particular that encouraged you?
Reverence is my next one (courtesy of your input) and I have a bunch more after that that I've also, already, jotted down (courtesy of a brief chat with @DevotionalTreasures in his fantastic blog )
Stuff from me won't ever be heavy on bible verses or theology, but it's probably gonna be fairly raw!
I just love taking normal life stuff and applying it to scripture, with the hope it encourages others in their own faith journey.
@tymektt Hiya 🙂
Rain here has been really bad too
@messenjahofchrist Something I can't ever see me doing over here in the UK
Jo fired machine guns when she was in the Territorial Army, and pistols when she tried out for the firearms police back in the day
Al I remember of that time, was the funny smell of the oil used to lubricate the guns
From your face I can see you look like you had fun
@tanjaostman Yep. Exactly. God is after our heart, not our qualifications
@tanjaostman it takes quite a bit of effort! we know only too well
this is one we did (Jo and I), very early on last year, when we didn't really know what we were doing
they were a bit rushed fro a project we were working on
i'd love to take some time to do this, properly, with the songs i've written
i'm not so happy with how it turned out, but i do love worshipping with my wife 🙂
@tanjaostman thanks - I thought that's what you meant ;-)
@tanjaostman wow. He's fabulous!!!!! I really enjoyed that - thanks for sharing
@tanjaostman ace. I'm a keyboard man cos I never had the finger strength for a piano
You got a proper little band there 🙂
@tanjaostman I have lots of thoughts on this topic, having been a worship leader for more than 3 decades across traditional to contemporary, and childrens worship
@DevotionalTreasures as for doubts, I had those for my Andy B video "Wisdom Trumps Experience, S3, E27"
I put a lot of thoughts I've had ivet a number of years, and they came together in this video....my write up expands some of those
I'm waiting for some negative 'feedback' when people do watch it/read it because I don't think the majority of people want to think about the things I bring up.
But it is life! And we shouldn't shy away from stuff, just 'cos it may not be well received by all
Also tried not to be unecessarily offensive with it too.....
@tanjaostman YES. THIS!!!!!!!
@tanjaostman this is the YouTube video I mentioned https://youtu.be/qrS-xo6kj5c
@tanjaostman and mindfulness!!!!!!! Will try to resist my soap box on that issue. suffice to say that (and this is my considered/experienced opinion) anything that promotes emptying your mind is utter rubbish! That, in a nutshell, is mindfulness.
Jo had to to learn to deliver a programme for offendors that uses mindfulness...first time she was trained up, she passed and was considered exceptional, but she quit before the training course had completed because of that 1 issue, & then took a vicar (so called) & the woman who wrote the course - a Christian (so called) who both said it was great. Now (5 years on) it isn't used hardly at all, by any of her colleagues - who all avoid it!
By God's grace (& - we believe - her efforts the first time round (she has never had to deal with 'that' element & manages to avoid it
As for yoga - ugh!!!!!! So many Christians are pulled away from Jesus by that, but that is the single aim of yoga (being acceptable to Christians) & it does it well
@tanjaostman John Cooper (lead singer of Skillet, and a fantastic brother in Christ) did a special, video, podcast on exactly this issue, joined by his wife - Korey Cooper (she is such a daughter of the King!) Jeremy Camp, his wife and another lady I don't know anything about
I watched a good portion, and it was great (well, being totally honest - Korey Cooper, John Cooper and Jeremy Camp were amazing...the other two, not so much for me...)
@MaryMamuzich me too. So much for my plans to go exploring earlier!
@Kruselady oh yes 🙂
This wil become an Andy B 2 Minute Video soon enough 😉
And it was going so well - exploring somewhere completely new, and some beautiful weather to boot
Two puncture repairs later and I had to resort to putting my Kevlar puncture prevention strip underneath the inner tube, against the wheel....my newly fitted rear wheel was missing the protective strip that sits against the wheel, and my inner tube now has regularly spaced holes from the recesses for the spokes...
Oh well, I've got the wheel strip from my last wheel and a spare inner tube
Still... frustrated I made such a dumb mistake! And that I had to cut short my ride, just to crawl home.
