@tanjaostman yes. There are people who have been snowed in, without power, for over a week now
We do get snow, but it is so uncommon, generally, that it always is quite a shock, and nobody is ever ready
We used to live in a house that was 250m above sea level, and we sometimes got snow like you are used to. I never even noticed that UK weather forecasts have two parts, until we lived there. One is the forecast, one is the forecast over 250metres above sea level...every day is a learning day
@tanjaostman Peter was grateful for that image π
@tanjaostman oh absolutely
@tanjaostman snow..............we don't get much
@tanjaostman they were simply called daylight bulbs
It's been a few years. I'm sure there's better technology now
@Olamide of course! π
@tanjaostman cool. We sold a bulb that would fit in any normal light fitting. That's kind of cool!
@tanjaostman over here it is called SAD (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder).
Back when we had our eco shop, we sold the same thing you mentioned - it emitted a natural daylight, rather than then yellow light you tend to get from light bulbs
They seemed brighter, yet really weren't - just a better frequency of light
We sold them as they were cheaper to run than normal bulbs
@tanjaostman do you have anything to deal with the lack of sunlight on your skin?
@DevotionalTreasures Amen! Spot on!!
@Olamide conditional love...never good!
@DevotionalTreasures @tanjaostman South Africa has had no serious cases from the latest variant, in fact, quite the opposite
I think your feelings on the vaccines is what I've seen echoed on the comments to many, recent, posts from Boris Johnson/10 @Downing Street
People have complied. But no more! They've had enough - the hypocrisy from MPs and world leaders has become ever more obvious and has fuelled people's defiance
That same south African doctor who first discovered bthe new strain is clear that it is time to learn to live with it, since we clearly can't manage or control it
And countries with, statistically speaking, 100% vaccinations are seeing huge spikes in covid cases...yet no one (publicly) is asking how that is even possible
Evil times, certainly, but the people are, Increasingly, realising that this is less to do with covid and more to do with control....
But, with Christ, we have a greater certainty, which is very worth knowing π
@RebeckaB π
@Pablito you're very welcome
Have missed doing them these past 6 weeks!
@Kruselady @Olamide @KarlGessler thank you π
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 Bβs 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 β our November troubles β how do you find or maintain peace through that?
Just a thoughtβ¦

@Olamide @KarlGessler thanks for the inspiration
