@MaryMamuzich ok... fair enough
Yes not so much fun when it tastes like that
@Cherishingsparrows2020 working for the Lord is never in vain
Always encouraging to have some some encouragement though!
Perseverance is one thing I rarely have in short supply. When I do slip, my family bolsts me along a bit more 🙂
@tanjaostman @sinbach there's truth...then there's THE truth
This confirms what you have been saying about Facebook @sinbach https://youtu.be/cCOvFLlsjI4
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @bethany @sinbach
I think God has a sense of humour 'cos I hear a lot of laughter when I pray around the plans I've come up with
and I do, then, wonder if it helps relieve God's stress, too, when I try and help Him out with His plans, but in my own way?
[obviously God doesn't get stressed....just sayin that here.....
🤣 ]
bizarre and interesting!
I'm not into stats of how many views we get, posts that have been read etc. But while we're not overly bothered if nobody ever watches anything we create, I still find it interesting, none the less, especially when it makes no sense to me!
So, our YouTube statistics came in yesterday, and the thing that threw me is that the busiest month for our videos to be watched was during November, when we didn't actually put anything out...
also, the top video we have for viewings, from all time, is one of our Song Time Videos that Jo did
"The Animals Came in two by two"
Like I said, I found it both interesting and bizarre
And it is encouraging that people have views nearly 3.500 minutes of our videos over the past year om YouTube...'cos it is nice to know that people actually are watching something of what we're producing...and 'cos you do wonder about that , even if your goal is creation and obedience to God, not human success!

@Berrybunchfamily @bethany @sinbach Amen, amen. It is so true! It is a tactic of warfare against God's Kingdom. Keep on advancing, soldiers of God! There is so much to be done and your mission is important!
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @bethany @sinbach I'm encouraged and challenged tthatscripture doesn't commanded us to like each other, but to love each other
I get sad when I see the worst of inflicted pain having it's source inside the church, not outside it
@sinbach wow! erm..........
and "If I had to guess, you clicked on this story because you’re over filling in your eyebrows every damn day. "
actually, i'm here because Eugene posted about it on DingDash and I was curious what hellish scheme they've now come up with for women to endure pain to look a certain way
@tanjaostman there's always hope 🙂
@tanjaostman seems legit - i've accidentally read this enough times to be happy it is true (as happy as you can be about anything online at least)
@sinbach Wanna see even more scorn and hatred? Work with children in an organised church setting and try engaging them with Jesus instead of just babystting them and just playing games with them
Wow! Just wow!!! You'd think we were trying to start a satanic temple in the church hall!!
The levels of hatred from that are even worse than having the 'wrong songs' in your set when leading worship 😂 😅
@sinbach Thankyou. Gonna try a celebration evening again once we've moved up to the north east in January (a little closer to Bethany)
Saved since May 2020 for a replacement engagement ring for Jo. Finally sorted that this week 🙂 it's rare to find my wife quite that overwhelmed!
Funny how those prophets missed the mark so wildly... apparently saying "God said" doesn't make things happen lol
@sinbach 4th needed booster already announced in the UK - the one that is stated to be designed to fight omicron
To be fair, after the 2nd vaccine was announced, the 4th was already mentioned as necessary, so just confirming what they'd already, previously, mentioned
@sinbach UK attitude tangibly shifting
People who have complied fully, including multiple jabs, are saying no to the booster in increasing numbers
Flicking through the comments on Facebook posts by Boris Johnson, and the mood has very definitively changed
The support is still there, but the opposition is very definitively rising...slowly, but it takes a lot to rile the British...but when sufficiently roused en mass???
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @tanjaostman when the first death occurred in the UK after Omicron, the BBC was almost celebrating the death, such was the headline and time of the 'news report'
BBC disgusts me - I only use them to check for breaking news....
It horrifies me to admit this, but The Sun newspaper website has become my new go to for UK stories
The Sun paper in the UK was synonymous with their Page 3 nudity, although a national campaign finally put a stop to that...
If you're wanting to know about covid rules or the benefit system, the sun does, in fairness to them, break thain points down in simple bullet points, without lots of opinion and commentary!
@sinbach my wife was accused of being the devil when we got engaged to be married - I have a feeling the two of you would get on!
Anyway it was stated the pregnancy we were hiding with a wedding would ruin our marriage
It was stated we'd be divorced in a year
It was stated our marriage would be prevented
It was stated our marriage would rip apart my family
But the baby took 8 years to be born...
The family was ripped apart, but not by us
And did I mention that each and every comment above was spoken by church leaders at a holy spirit filled church, more than 25 years ago - we celebrated our 25th anniversary in style, by staying in bed due to Covid
Keep on keeping on my brother
