Marriage Matters, Rules of Engagement, Season 1, Episode 8

youtu.be/OPwTB7JK62s

In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about getting engaged - that period before marriage when a couple prepares to get married.

As always, Andy B finds us some relevant bible verses to see what the bible says about getting engaged. The bible doesn’t say anything specifically about getting engaged per se, but there are, of course, principles and experiences of engagement in the bible to be found:

• Matthew 1:18- 21 – Joseph thinks about calling off his engagement to Mary
• 1 Corinthians 7:9 – Better to marry than burn with passion

Find out by watching this enlightening episode on Engagement!

Andy B 2 Minute Video, What Time Is It? Season 4, Episode 45

youtu.be/--ZidbEhfGc

Being able to tell the time is a benchmark in our family. As each of our children has learned to tell the time, on an analogue clock, they get their first wrist watch - and a special trip with Dad to go pick out their very first wristwatch.

Knowing what time it is, at any point in the day, can be incredibly useful - so we’re not late for work (I’ve been there), or collecting the children from school (I’ve done that), or being in the house so a parcel can be delivered – even if you know that that 0800 to 1300 window of time you’ve been promised simply isn’t going to happen (I’ve popped out and missed it expecting them to fail to deliver when they said they would).

I never thought I'd actually be somebody saying my first book is almost ready for publication. And yet here we are!

I'm just awaiting a physical proof to check through (due in the next few days), but am hoping to publish this book in less than a couple of weeks...all things being the same.

Fancy a taster? You can read my introduction, and a foreword generously written by my friend, and my brother, a pastor and missionary man - @Olamide (although I just call him Olli D)

Andy B 2 Minute Video, That Sinking Feeling, Season 4, Episode 44

"Broken beyond repair." "Needs some TLC." "Don’t know what’s wrong, but it’s yours if you want it."

Looking through Facebook Marketplace at “FREE STUFF” and you can be surprised by what people give away for free.

Now, admittedly, some of that free stuff is not. There are people who list as free, but have no intention of giving it away for free – they’re just hoping to get more ‘hits’ of people looking at something they wish to sell.
To be honest, that’s just a bit foolish.

There are others who clearly, simply, don’t wish to take something they’ve destroyed to the local tip themselves, so are hoping you’ll take their “Nearly New, free 72” SMART TV”, even listing all of the connections it has - that also just happens to have fallen off their wall, judging by the dent and smashed screen.

"I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." -Psalm 18:1-2 ❤️✝️💪⛰️⛪🛡️🏰

I received 4 copies and the first goes to my favorite gal- my sweet Mom!!!

Please pray for the president of Finland who will make a phone call to Putin tomorrow! (Last week he visited the White House). As I shared earlier, president Niinistö might be the head of a state that has had the most frequent meetings with Mr Putin. One of the reasons for that might be that Finland is a buffer state between Russia and the West. We have had no other choice than to understand Russia, and to have a dialogue with them... This has been critizised by some Swedes, but these days Sweden is turning to Finland for advice and help.

Gonna be publishing my first book in the next couple of weeks. I'd love to say it will be next week, but it's my first time doing this...

There's a video to go alongside it, and you'll be able to choose either a paperback or e-book version.

It's quite a timely book, especially with what haas gone on in Ukraine; rising domestic fuel prices in the UK; The horrible cold thing (can't use that word anymore on FB...but I can here on DingDash...yes it's timely after the global stuff around covid too)

I was asked to write it last September by a great friend over in Nigeria. That was the source and the beginning to get me to start this project. Y'all know him as @Olamide ...I just know him as Olli D 🙂

I'll put some teasers out in the coming days 😊

For now it's enough to say it's a quick to read book to do with suffering and hope. My hope is that it is the sort of book people can buy and give to a friend who needs it...

Anybody fancy seeing the cover yet?

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Crutches Aren't About Weakness

youtu.be/WkBtm2GUhas

Crutches can be a hindrance to getting on with life, easily. However, if you’ve broken your leg, it is a necessity to enable you to be walk, while your leg heals.

Christians can be negatively accused of using our relationship with Jesus, or our choice to become a Christian, as some sort of ultra negative thing.
As a Christian, I’m happy to state that I lean on Jesus more than I’ve ever leaned on any other crutches in my life.

I’ve used all sorts of things to help me get through life, from drinking alcohol, to working harder than my body can cope with, or caffeine to get me up in the morning, or keep me going late into the night.

I walked to the city center from my job for my lunch today, and saw some soldiers in full combat gear and armored cars and tanks. The air force is also flying over the city. Finnish military are conducting urban warfare training drills in several cities in Finland this week. They do it regularly, and this exercise was planned a couple of years ago. Some might think the timing is perfect, or a little scary.

While most people are celebrating international women’s day, South Korea has a presidential election today. Please pray for Korea, that it will have God’s choice in the office and that they will have humility and wisdom to lead this nation to freedom in the near future.

It’s so encouraging when we can advise someone, or help them, and see a burden lifted from their shoulders.

It could be as simple as lending someone a phone, or giving them a life. Perhaps we take them a meal or two when they’re ill, or even just moving house, so they don’t have to think about preparing a meal for themselves.

It can be so very simple, easy and straightforward to help others.

There are some very specific skill sets, which the church will have within it’s walls. It’s no wonder that many churches choose someone who runs a cleaning business to help organise the cleaning in the church. Or a builder to help ensure the buildings are maintained well.

– God on the move in Ukraine

This one comes from a fellow DingDashers - thanks @Cherishingsparrows2020

Every Tuesday well post a Testimony with the hashtag .

It’s a great idea I was inspired to imitate, from another blogger. Testimonies are so powerful because they are truths from our life. I love reading them, and look forward to reading many more.

Testimonies are so wonderfully powerful!
