Andy B 2 Minute Video, The blinking cursor of possibilities, S04E079
I’ve finished another book writing project.
I’m pretty thrilled about it, but when I say I’ve finished, that’s just the initial editing. Next up is my middle son – Nathan – who follows behind me cleaning up any spelling mistakes or grammar issues. He’s a star!
After that it’s simply down to finalising the cover while waiting for the foreword being written by a friend, set a date for publishing and away we go!
As I was sitting there looking at the last text, on the last page, I thought about the other books I’ve got stacked up, ready to write.
I love the little blinking cursor on the page of a brand new book, because it reminds me of endless possibilities.
So, where in your life is God wanting you to look further down the road, rather than just a your feet. He cares about your present. But He cares even more about your future... [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 26.05.2022
Psalm 23 v 4
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

It’s good to check in with God during the day, so take a brief pause every hour or so and reflect on this quote/image.

@faith20 We are 80 miles from there. Prayer is the biggest thing now. There has been so much help materially that no more is needed for the moment. Pray for the families. Pray that God can use this to draw some hearts to Christ.
I worked for twenty years in primary school. Reading news like what happened yesterday in Texas breaks my heart. 💔 I pray that God will console the hearts of the families of those little children. I have no other words ...💔 💔 💔
@Berrybunchfamily It went very well, Andy! Thank you so much for praying!
Are you tired of me rattling on about healing? It is funny how we have often regulated healing to a sideline of Christianity, a kind of option for Christians with more eccentric tastes. But the goal of the Gospel is to heal the world. Healing is the heart and soul of the Gospel.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16
Not perish-live instead = healing
A Brief Pause with Andy B, 25.05.2022
Psalm 23 v 3
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths, bringing honour to his name.

"There was a husband and wife who served many years in the ministry as missionaries in a far away land.
As they returned to the States, the arriving ship was greeted by a brass band. Their initial thought was that this was an arranged greeting to honor them -- but soon discovered that a dignitary was also on the ship.
They collected their luggage and booked a cheap motel room. While sitting on the bed, the husband started to cry and said, "We've served God for many years. We've got no money, no house, and when we've returned home, there's not even anyone to meet us!"
His wife looked at him and said, "Hon, we're not home yet!"
Urgent help needed in Bangladesh! 57 dead and two million displaced. Tens of thousands homeless. BTJ sending aid to our missionary partners now

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Cables, Hard Work and Doing It Right, S04E077
Every day is a learning day!
We saw some friends recently who gave us a TV they no longer needed. It’s bigger than the one we have, so we were really grateful for such a kind gift. And, at home, we have a universal flat screen stand – which we knew could handle the job of holding up the TV.
I don’t know about you but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the something designed to be ‘universal’ really means it’s something that is designed to accommodate or fit anything other than the very thing you need to, which it is specifically should be able to fit. Because, unfortunately, the bracket that attaches to the back of the TV, actually completely covered over the back of the TV where all the sockets are placed! [READ MORE]

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Memory, Speed and Effort, S04E076
This is our first video with everything set to 'enabled' 🙂
- New Berry Bunch T-Shirts
- New Camera for filming
- New Logo Stings (mini video at the beginning and end)
- Videos via Vimeo (so no unexpected adverts popping up!)
It's just lovely seeing all of these things coming together for the first time from people God has used to resource our online ministry, where we couldn't resources it ourselves; God sent us gifts to buy these things instead!
It's an honour partnering with people we've never met, from all round the world, who have chosen to partner with us to help us do what we do better, for more people to enjoy and and be fed from and through - all for God's kingdom, and none of our own!!
Awesome!

Family Prayer Time, Composers, S01E13
Peter & JoJo get together to encourage us, as always – to pray as a family. And they continue their series on using objects or photographs of objects, things or places to help us stay focused in prayer.
This week, JoJo & Peter continue to inspire us into praying for different countries, nations, or places in the world by using, this time, composers from different countries.
Peter and JoJo encourage us to find classical music, maybe on a CD and to pray for the country from which the composer was born. JoJo suggests we even listen to the music before we pray, or you can just hold the CD in front of you.
With a Beethoven CD and a photograph of an orchestra in front of them Peter and JoJo pray for Germany. How’s your knowledge of composers? Who would you pick for your country? What’s your favourite composer?
