keep forgetting we properly live on the coast now. just been for a cycle with Jo (on lovely, perfectly smooth roads no less!!!).

4 1/2 miles and we're at the coast, with the sound of seagulls overhead

need a shower and some food though now. the electric garage door is definitely a bonus when you're coming up the drive though.

and so nice to be on our road bikes again...we've loved mountain biking, but also really missed our lovely road bikes

So we spent two decades and trillions on "nation building" in Afghanistan, then not only evacuated in embarassed chaos, but then pulled the rug out from underneath the regular everyday Afghan people on the way out.. 💀

Following the Taliban takeover in August, Western states froze all development aid, worth 75% of the Afghan government's budget. Many civil servants, including doctors and teachers, have not been paid since August. Western powers froze $9.5 billion in Afghan assets in foreign banks -- the vast majority of which is held in the US. Meanwhile, sanctions on the Taliban have become de facto bans on private-sector engagement with the government, despite exemptions for humanitarian activity.
This would have caused problems for any economy. But foreign aid represented over 40% of GDP for Afghanistan. The international house of cards that was Afghanistan's economy has come falling down.

Colorado State offers help to anyone "affected by free speech."
This sign offers students 17 resources to help them if they have been affected by free speech.
Universities are treating Free speech as if it is a disease or violence affecting students.
Do not be fooled - the enemy's first attack when he takes over an areas is to stop free speech. Preaching the Gospel and sharing the Word is essential to complete the Great Commission. This is why China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran WILL NOT - CANNOT allow free speech. An attack on free speech is ALWAYS a direct attack on completing the Great Commission, to prolong Satan's time on earth. 😥

The spiritual condition of the region we are passing through is somewhat like this.
Praying for breakthrough. Few team members are recovering from 'seasonal flu'. We tried to show the Vaccination certificate, which we bought last year.....it didn't help😃😄😀🤣

@Cherishingsparrows2020 God never seems to lead us to doing things by half measures!!

I'm glad, actually, as it forces us to make lots of changes. Change can be very good!!

It's been really hard to simply stop getting up at 10am, and going to bed past midnight, so we can all be a family as much as possible around Jo's working rhythm.

But God is good!!

Today we all were up by 0730. Even me - since I went on a range of medication after my heart issue, it's been really hard waking up and starting the day.

I didn't exactly jump out of bed, but there also wasn't my usual heavy grogginess I've struggled with this morning - Praise God!!
