Good Evening World

Hiya,

Just a quick note from me.

I’m having a bit of a rant, having wasted the last 30 minutes of my Sunday evening seeking to overcome this issue. But we have been beaten. Totally – by Facebook. I know, well, when to stand fight and when to simply walk away – and work around the problem. It makes me sad, but it is what it is: Facebook has been deleting music from our videos, with no recourse available for us.

Sadly, you can’t challenge the totalitarian approach of Social Media giants like Facebook: there is no complaints procedure; there is no customer service. There is just their action, which can’t be undone.

We get lots of people viewing, and enjoying, our resources on Facebook, directly. However, we will no longer be doing this. [READ MORE]

PS I’m off for a cup of tea and some more time with my family.

Watch the video, Listen to the Audio, Read the transcript or Download the Video.

Andy B and Jo are back for more Marriage Matters. They said they would be back and here they are - back with more matters about marriage that matter because marriage matters, as Andy B so succinctly manages to say each week (or not)!

As usual Andy and Jo share their thoughts and personal experiences as they consider why Marriage is the way to go and seek to dispel the myths about marriage that make you think of marriage in a negative way. Andy B and Jo do their best to extol the virtues of marriage which wasn’t as difficult as it sounds as the research seems to back them up! READ MORE]

S02E002, King of Kings, Family Prayer Time

“Be honest, be truthful, be real with God.”

vimeo.com/728878457

In the second episode of this new series, Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always - to pray as a family – and in this series by using the book of psalms. This time, Pete and Jo read some verses from Psalm 2.

This Psalm was written by King David to celebrate the coronation of Israelite Kings and ultimately the coronation of Jesus – the eternal King – King of all Kings!

So, as Jo says this Psalm is an opportunity to praise God in our prayers. There are, of course, different kinds of prayers, like thanksgiving prayers, when we thank God for things, petition prayers when we ask for things from God and praise prayers when we simply worship God because he is God – awesome, amazing and beyond description.

Join Peter and JoJo in celebrating God our King because:

‘What joy for all who take refuge in him!’

@faith20 @Berrybunchfamily sorry,... But I'm butting in on your conversation ☺️
I'm over the moon happy things are going better for you and your wife!! You are in my prayers and on my mind so much!!
I'm sorry you still have drought...and such hot weather but so thankful for your new home.
I've been praying you can return to teaching and things will return somewhat normal. What a blessing to see God moving in your life; watching prayers being answered is so thrilling!!

Here in Kansas we soon vote to decide between stopping 3rd term abortions and continuing to allow them! My heart breaks as I pass many Campaign signs advocating the slaughter of unborn Human Beings! Especially troubling is homes with children and the pro-abortion message! Abortion is analogous to the Cat covering up its excrement! It is sacrificing a child to the God of Self! The prominent God of this culture! Having seen what God did to judge Israel for turning to the Canaanite gods and sacrifice their Babies to those God’s. America has sacrifices over 60 million Babies to Self! I fear the judgement meeted out to America Will be much worse than that meeted out to Israel!’ We deserve destruction!

@Berrybunchfamily

Praise the Lord. God is good at all times. Praise the Lord. Today first lunch in the new house. Jericho is conquered by faith; village after village, city after city, we will conquer all of Canaan and enter the Promised Land of Heaven. Praise be to God.

@faith20

I'm SO thrilled you've moved. Praise God for His provision! You sound a little more relaxed!!

There's always hope that a new Prime Minister will serve their people. We will see - for your nation, and for ours.

There is always hope!

Would love to give you a hug one day. In this life or in heaven!

You're such an inspiration!!

"With God we will make it!"

Amen!!!

As ever, your brother, Andy B

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 22.07.2022

It’s interesting to think of those things we absolutely need… …until they are gone, when we realise how easily we can live without them.

@bethany I've got some washing on (bit late today) so hoping the rain stays away to get it dry ...we get a nice breeze commonly though

"For every time you look at yourself take ten looks at the cross and ten looks at Jesus."
Robert Murray M'Cheyne

@bethany thank you kindly

we had a blast shooting those

it just got funnier and funnier the more we did, and is now a fond memory for us

and it's great being able to use them now @TakeN has finished taking what we took, even better - ahead of using them

it was also really lovely being able to use the camera we were gifted money for - for our ministry - as an actual camera for a change...a role it rarely gets to play

how's you then Bethany?

Andy B

@faith20

my brother, how are you and your lovely wife?

please update me

you're rarely out of my mind. i don't always send you messages. But please know you're frequently in my prayers!

how are things for you right now? how is the drought?

we're looking ahead at a very trying year in the UK as we move forwards. i am worried what a new prime minister will do...we will see; God is still in control, but I see a rough 12 months ahead for the UK people

in January our energy bill (heating, cooking) was about £100/month

by October (just 3 months from now) the government say it might be £550/month (since price rises in March we pay £300/month)

many families here have been struggling to feed their children since prices suddenly rose in march...salaries have not gone up. people do not have the extra money to heat their homes and cook food

we are blessed with a wood burning stove. we will try and find wood to heat our home. it is going to get very difficult

your brother

Andy B

@richardafaherty @tanjaostman I sometimes think we should get an air con unit, but it'd only truly be needed for a few days a year in the UK
