Read Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand. After learning about the type of Juche communism in NK it’s amazing to read this original take on the earliest form of Christian persecution from communists.

“Communism is demonic”, is common to hear, but I often feel when people say “demonic” they aren’t really being literal. It’s more like they’re using the word to get the point across that it’s just evil &wrong in the worst immoral way.

This is what Wurmbrand says:
“What the Communists have done to Christians surpasses any possibility of human understanding. I have seen Communists whose faces while torturing believers shone with rapturous joy. They cried out while torturing the Christians, “We are the devil!”
We wrestle not against flesh & blood but against the principalities and powers of evil. We saw that communism is not from men but from the devil. It’s a spiritual force-a force of evil-& can only be countered by a greater spiritual force, the Spirit of God.” Amor vicit omnia

This morning I ran 16.8km, at an average pace of 6:33/km, which isn't great since I usually average 5:00-5:30/km.
Bumped into dad who took some photos and gave me some much needed Dextro tabs.

Met up with number one son, on my otherwise solo cycle.

Grass was really tall, & tough to plow through with multiple, long, deep (feet submerged while pedalling deep!) puddles that were unavoidable, but fun to do anyway :-) low gear and keep those pedals turning!!

A very muddy bike when I got home, and I wasn't much cleaner. Great time though, and having a break with my oldest - in the middle of nowhere - made it all the sweeter as we shared energy tablets and had a moment to chat together

With a newly replaced rear wheel, derailleur, gear cable & outer, my 2nd hand bike is finally working as it should....funny what we put up with - in my case for 6 years, with bad gear changes and no confidence the gears will stay where they should!

Still, all sorted now - onwards.

@tanjaostman I'm not a fan of CA, I don't like LA when I go the CA I feel stressed and want to leave but northern CA is pretty nice.

Psalms 66:1‭-‬5 #TPT
Everyone everywhere, lift up your joyful shout to God!
Sing your songs tuned to his glory! Tell the world how wonderful he is.
For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power! We’ve never seen anything like him! Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble. No wonder they all surrender and bow before you!
All the earth will bow down to worship; all the earth will sing your glories forever!
Pause in his presence
Everyone will say, “Come and see the incredible things God has done; it will take your breath away! He multiplies miracles for his people!”

@tanjaostman i just do it. no special device and I've NEVER used dictation software. I've thought about it, but I write much better to express my thoughts. my speech does not always best represent my conclusions.
It's nice to hear that you think I'm productive because I feel relatively unproductive compared to what resources I've been given.

Please join us in praying for Ethiopia. The Tigray People’s Liberation Front have recently taken the ancient city of Lalibela.

The churches of Lalibela date back to the 12th century and are carved out in the mountains. The rock churches are a monument to the strength and endurance of the faith. Now, this ancient city and the nation of Ethiopia needs our prayers.
