@KarlGessler @Knittinggrace Thanks, Karl. I have been thinking about these very things the past few weeks. You did a great job of putting it into words. One thing that really stood out to me lately was that Jesus said ALL authority has been given to Him (in heaven AND on earth) and then He gave a command. We don't need permission from earthly governments to follow the orders of the One with this kind of authority. Anyone who opposes these orders is in serious danger.

Make Sure You Petition the Right King
Herod said to the girl, “Whatever you ask of me, I’ll give it to you—right up to half my kingdom!”
Jesus said to His disciples, “Ask of me whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.”
The girl asked for Herod to take life. He granted her wish.
The disciples ask Jesus to give life and He granted their wish.
@lynnexxa Apparently so! It's so unfortunate.
@Jesper_Laursen My husband and I are interested in reading some of his books. Do you have any favorites to recommend?
My husband and I are watching a documentary about Thomas Sowell. I don't remember ever hearing of him before.
It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think. - Thomas Sowell
@lauralynn A mother's prayers are powerful.
Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true, but many other things are believed simplify because they have been asserted repeatedly. - Thomas Sowell
The course of history is determined by what people do with their opportunities. - Thomas Sowell
@Keeper @sinbach @MaryMamuzich Wow! You should be getting paid for such convincing advertisements 😂

Today I noticed some large bird footprints going across the front porch, through the snow, and over to my neighbors' back porch. Looking out the window to see what bird it is, I was stunned to see a plump, gorgeous bird that I've never seen before! Doing some research, it is a Red Legged Partridge, also known as a French Partridge. Totally not native to Canada, so who knows how it got here? It seems to be happily residing under the back porch step for now. @PattersonGlenFarm
@MotherFarmer @heartnsoulr1 @PattersonGlenFarm@brighteon.social Haha! That's what I was thinking too! A partridge in a pear tree! It's a nice looking bird. So interesting.

*28:23-29* The farmer uses special tools to plant and harvest tender herbs so he will not destroy them. He takes into account how fragile they are. In the same way God takes all our individual circumstances and weaknesses into account. He deals with each of us sensitively. We should follow his example when we deal with others. Different people require different treatment. Be sensitive to the needs of those around you and the special treatment they may need.

*Isaiah 28:23-29 NIV* “Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say. When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? His God instructs him and teaches him the right way. Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a stick. Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it, but one does not use horses to grind grain. All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.”
@bethany So true! Let's keep believing and experiencing the works of God!🎶
