I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):
"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."
I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:

Hello Andy, Once again, praising the Lord for bringing this book to completion and for His Glory!!! It is no coincidence that you have written this book for the hour in which we live! In response to your message, may I remind you of what you already know well, that the Lord gave you the rich life experience as well as the words and the vision for this book to reach, encourage, strengthen and transform many hearts and souls with the Hope of Glory that is found only in Christ Jesus our Lord! And so, I pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare the minds and hearts of those whom He will reach through this book. I pray that it will have exponential outreach in transforming souls for the Kingdom of God. We don't need large selling numbers (I hope you agree) we need transformed hearts and lives, one by one, beginning with us.
Congratulations once again on the book's completion! I am excited for how the Lord will use it to transform many hearts and bring glory to His name!!!
These are wise words on the reason why we pray - from my good friend Andy Brown, and his brilliant book "A Journey With Jesus - 40 Day Devotional".
A great way to make sure I don't jump too fast into a busy day is to take some time out, first! Wisdom I learned a long time ago - because the busiest days need gaps for air!!!

So I did a thing !
I clicked the publish button for my first book...which means the eBook will be available for pre-order within the next 72 hours.
Both the paperback version, and eBook version, will be published - on Amazon from Friday 25th March.
Feeling both nervous and excited for my new little baby - Broken Dreams, and Hope!

I read this quote by Vlad Savshuk randomly on YouTube and thought it was very good:
"A person can be affected by the power of God (resulting in amazing experiences), but not surrendered to the power of God, which results in a changed life. King Saul is a perfect example of that."

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.
Endurance: Down But Not Out
Explore with us what it means to be down but not out, in this our fourth episode of season four - Down, But Not Out
#GoDeeper
Andy B opens up this week’s theme, “Down, But Not Out”, by first reminding us of the fact that everyone has had an experience of being down, but not out.
He unpacks this week’s Scripture verses, Matthew 11:28-30, by explaining what a yoke is in the context of these verses and further explaining its value, as in how oxen are trained using a yoke. In addition, he provides real-life examples of people learning vital skills using the same idea as that of a yoke.
#GoDo
Steven and Nathan discuss being ‘Down, But Not Out’. They share a useful three-step plan for dealing with unexpected problems, with Nathan ‘helpfully’ providing some synonymous idioms. [READ MORE]

Marriage Matters, Highs and Lows, 25th Anniversary Special, Season 1, Episode 9
In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo talk about the highs and lows of their own marriage after 25 years.
As always, Andy B steers the episode with scripture, when Jesus spoke about his yoke being easy and his burden being light. Perhaps an unusual choice, but Andy B links this to couples and the need for them to stick together:
- Matthew 11:28-30
Andy B and Jo take us on a journey through the seasons of marriage, for example the honeymoon period, setting up home, having children and different jobs and places that affect our lives together, bringing us our ups and downs or as Andy B and Jo prefer to say – ‘Highs & Lows’.
Join Andy B & Jo and reflect on your own highs and lows and how you can stick together through them.

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Dusting, Cleaning and Resting, Season 4, Episode 50
Today is a good day! We’ve got two loads of washing on our washing line blowing in the gentle breeze and sun. As a stat at home dad, this makes Andy B very happy!
Inside the home, the hoover has been finally repaired and the carpets have been thoroughly gone over. As has the stairs, and lots of dusting has happened too.
In our homes, and in our Spiritual lives we need lots of maintenance. Dirt and dust appear no matter what we do, especially if you use a wood burning stove a lot!
In our walks with Jesus Christ dirt and dust constantly appears too, blocking our ability to see God, and who He is. [READ MORE]

@Berrybunchfamily Spring is arriving and it is so very welcome. It's wonderful to enjoy the "little things" in life, such as hanging your clean laundry. There is so much going on in the world today that can dishearten us or cause us to fear. In this world, we will face trouble, but JESUS has overcome the world. He's already done it. It's not that He might do it, or even that He will do it eventually. He HAS done it. Resurrection Sunday is coming soon, but we can already celebrate His victory that is now ours. We can enjoy the good gifts He gives us. I believe He wants us to enjoy the sunrise, the sunset, a job well-done, a smile or hug from a loved one, a greeting from a stranger, or whatever goodness He sends our way. He knows there are difficulties to face, but our seeing His hand in the small details of life helps to put these trials in perspective. He is so worthy of our praise and our worship. Thank you for sharing these joys from your day!
Our hoover broke not long after moving. Finally hoovered the stairs, skirting, floor edges. Lots of elbow grease with the Hoover's extension hose and a brush!!
Was gonna cycle later. Pretty sure this counts as I tend to go for it quite a bit...
How y'all doing today, Friday?
Currently beautiful blue skies and a gentle breeze with plenty of sun, so I'm about to get a second load of washing on my line. That always makes me very happy 😊😁☀️
Wondering how long before we're told that's bad for the environment too - as it adds excess moisture into the air lol

My second proof came today. First proof was too big a book, with too small a font size!
Just one edit to make (to the spine) and it's good to go.
It'll be published a week tomorrow (Friday 25th March 2022)

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Keep Going, (There's a picture of first ever book in this video too 😎 )
There is so much in life that can drag us down and make us give up. But, there is much reason to keep going!
Andy B started a project in September 2021 – writing a book. This is a project a friend had asked him to undertake. And it’s quite a rapid turn around.
But there are so many things that Andy B never got to do.
We all have dreams, hopes and ambitions. And they all can be decimated, or perhaps just deflected.
But God has plans for us as His children. And those plans are to prosper us.
So, if you’ve been putting off something you know God has placed on your heart, and you have a hundred reasons why you couldn’t follow through, or perhaps just the one reason – pick up again and just Keep Going!
Just a thought…

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Pretty Drains and Plungers, Season 4, Episode 48
Bathrooms can be hard to make look both pretty and functional. The pipes that make it all function can appear pretty ugly, so it’s become a trend to box pipes in.
However, this comes with a cost. Whether it is the shower body behind lovely looking tiles, a toilet cistern placed behind a wall, or pipes concreted into a floor, it’s tempting to hide these things away, but the cost comes when something breaks.
Tradespeople, especially plumbers, will tell you that pretty isn’t so pretty when something simple breaks, and you’ve got to tear down a wall to get to a part that takes a few seconds to replace, and a few days rebuilding a wall!
Just a thought…
