Hi.

I update you on the situation in Italy.

In beautiful Italy, the surprises are not over yet.

Before telling you the news, I will remind you of what is currently in force.

1) Healthcare personnel, police forces and teachers are required to be vaccinated in order to work. And the doses must be three. Those who do not have the three doses, for the Italian state, can also die of hunger.

2) All other jobs can be done with a negative test every two days.

@Berrybunchfamily

Thousands of Italians are in quarantine at home and therefore there are many closed shops.

Restaurants and hotels are empty and risk bankruptcy.

A mask is mandatory on the street and in closed places.

There is a strange atmosphere. People all have sad and worried faces.

There is a campaign of discrimination and denigration against those who are not vaccinated which leads to thinking and saying very unpleasant things against what they call "no vax".

Think that today in Italy those who have done up to the second dose of vaccine are called "no vax". So even those who have been vaccinated but have not taken the last dose are a "no vax".

I have tried to best summarize what is happening but the reality is worse.

"Sun rises in northernmost Finland after two-month polar night".
Every country is dealing with their specific problems. 😁 When you live in a country where you don't see the sun for a couple of months, and the sun so pale that you don't get any tan of it for 6 months a year, you appreciate the summer and a trip to a country with strong sunshine is luxury! (This explains why Scandinavians don't want to sit in the shadow, when everybody else wants to). 😂

💥Our NEW💥 podcast mini-series goes inside the most printed book in history to learn why Mao Zedong was so powerful and influential in his war on Christians. Learn why so many Christians EVEN followed him. Understand why so many of today's leaders in the west - including the US President - quote from Mao's Little Red book.
Social Justice. Male Patriarchy. Racial Equality. Gender Gap.
These are all phrases and ideas that were taught in Mao's Little Red book LONG before they were apart of today's vernacular. For the first time EVER, we read directly from Mao's Little Red book to reveal secrets that will change the way that you listen to today's news and reveal that the enemy's tactics are not new, they are just so old that the new generation of believers have forgotten.

2 vans at home and ready to load.

it's freezing cold here today - we're about to have a cooked breakfast before loading the vans throughout today

tomorrow we drive to our new home - anything up to around a 6 hour journey, and unload them

on Saturday we return the vans and drive back to our new home - around a 11-12 hour day

our car engine started playing up yesterday, but Jo made it to her last day of work and back, and we made it to the van hire place this morning.

we need another 500 miles or so out of the car, as we have no money for repairs (we suspect the last two, original, fuel injectors) and will need to find a garage once we've arrived at the new house. even if we had the money, garages are booking many days into the future anyway

plenty to pray for, and into, over the next 72 hours or so!!

we're certain God hasn't brought us this far to fall at the final hurdle, so we're holding to hope and Jesus!!

"Head In the Clouds"
Here's a glorious cloud formation from a while ago. Lit up majestically by the sun, the texture of this cloud caught my eye when I looked out the window. I knew it would certainly pass within moments, so I hastily popped outside with my camera to photograph it.

I could use some uplifting prayers if ya"ll see fit.

@KarlGessler "A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with." Amen!!

 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." (Mat. 22:29).

Here Jesus was correcting the sadukees who didn't believe in resurrection from the death.

I'm thinking, how much have we as church gone wrong in a similar way today? Do we have faith in the real Jesus (who is Son of God, yet a man) and who is powerful in everything concerning our lives? Do we understand (and truly believe/act on it!) that the same power that raised up Jesus from the grave, now dwells in us? Are these signs following us (Mark.16:17-18)?

Do we know what the Bible says and read it by ourselves? Or do we trust that our pastor knows the best so that we don't need to read or understand it ourselves? Do we lean on tradition more than on God's word?

We need them both: the Power (Gods Holy Spirit) and the scripture (the Bible), so that we won't go astray.

God help us! 🙏

“Who is this?” they said to each other. “Even the wind and the sea do what He says!” (Mark 4:41).

Do we know this Jesus? Does this storm-calming Jesus disappear when we close our Bibles?

At times, I think I expect much more from my wife than I do from Jesus. But my wife can’t command storms and seas....

We expect far too little from Jesus.

We need to reconcile our creeds with our attitudes, decisions, and general approach to life.

A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with.
