A Brief Pause with Andy B, 22.08.2022

The first miracle we read about, of Jesus at work, is Him making wine. Not ordinary wine, but the highest quality possible. With Jesus there is always a happier ending.

S05E006, A Life More Ordinary, Endurance

https://vimeo.com/739710911

On this episode, we are looking at how we should view the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Go Deeper
Steven begins this week’s GoDeeper by getting us to think of the extraordinary feats demonstrated during the 22 Commonwealth Games, compared to the ordinary feats that ordinary people like us achieve.

He then unpacks the passage of Scripture found in Luke 18:10-14, pointing out the differences between the two people praying in that passage. One was rather ordinary and humble, whilst the other thought himself extraordinary and was arrogant.

Steven reminds us that riches and fame, which are not ordinary, are not all that healthy for people.

He concludes that we shouldn’t strive to be extraordinary but should embrace the ordinary and mundane aspects of life.

S02E006, Psalm 6, Family Prayer Time

https://vimeo.com/739713813

Peter & JoJo continue encouraging us to pray as a family by reading the Psalms together. This time, Peter and JoJo read the whole of Psalm 6 as a prayer to God, reminding us of the relevance and power of these words for us today.

Peter tells us that David is appealing to God to go easy on him! David knows God does not tolerate evil, but on the other hand God is a merciful God, a God of justice and mercy. Peter also tells us that David is in some kind of trouble, but in this Psalm, we don’t know what this is.

JoJo draws our attention to how David pours out his heart to God, being honest and real and confident that God can rescue him in his trouble, no matter what that is. And that is true today and for us; if we call on God in our troubles, He can rescue us.

So, join Peter and JoJo in open, honest, and heartfelt prayer to a God who delivers!

S02E005, Day to Day, Marriage Matters

https://vimeo.com/739717283

This week’s Marriage Matters, you’ll be pleased to hear, is quite simple and straight forward and although Andy B and Jo tackle what might be the mundane and ordinary things of married life, this episode is not boring!

To give you a taster, so you can believe it’s true, these are some of the subjects covered: cleaning your teeth, putting the bin out, cooking meals and wait for it – cleaning the dishes! And if that was not exciting enough Jo mentions smelling roses and coffee and Andy gives a list of meals he eats!

https://vimeo.com/729620672

While Andy B takes a well earned break from making brand new Andy B 2 Minute Videos (having made 148 over the past 2 years), we thought it would be a really good idea to start up a #ThrowbackThursday, where we post some of our favourite episodes.

So, enjoy!

😊

Our littlest turns 12.

And still loves Lego. Good lad 🙂

So tired this morning!

Jo's on pain meds. Pale, worn, tired, but getting better. Praise God!

We're up and about and recuperating.

Update on Jo

Firstly, thanks for your prayers. Truly. She felt them!!

Secondly you couldn't make up our day!!

She was discharged and forgotten about so we were actually there for 13 1/4 hours (they assumed she had left...sadly another woman got forgotten about in the morning due to the same issue - WAY too many people wanting to access the hospital).

They don't know what caused such bad pain in Jo, and there are way too many possibles so they have given her strong pain medication. If it comes back, plus any other symptoms, we go back to see a doctor.

On our way out we paid for the medication and they took twice the amount. But their card machines are new and they were unable to refund us...so they had to take lots of details so they can get the hospital finance team to lay us back the difference.

What a day! Now, where's my bed?!?

Andy B

Update on Jo: I'm guessing we have another 4-6 hours to go yet. Today started at 4am

She's had intravenous paracetamol which helped take the worst if the edge of the pain from her and she's not been sick today (she is nil by mouth right now too)

Looks like she has an infection, but they're not currently sure what or where so we have a few more steps to go until they can narrow it down

She is feeling the prayers of the saints today, so thank you.
