Fascinating discussion of China's struggle with the effects of corrupt Western culture and wealth inequality in an article almost 4 months old, for me highlighting the need for the Gospel especially among young, educated Chinese. https://palladiummag.com/2021/10/11/the-triumph-and-terror-of-wang-huning/
It's a long article. Wang Huning became disillusioned with America as a visiting scholar at a time when for most Chinese "the moon was more round in America" (meaning everything's great) but he saw the negative effects of individualism, loss of family and tradition, and wealth inequality. Now he's in a high government position as they try to deal with the same rootless individualism, nihilism, and wealth inequality he saw in the west.

Flat-earthers....no offense meant!

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

Our hot water making machine is keeping us warm. Night time there was electricity with proper voltage to recharge our phones. Parked our vehicle inside a walled campus and visiting places in Motorcycles. Comparitively good village roads.

Heard encouraging stories, how previous teams blessed these tiny churches through various training they imparted.
One young lady had a dream , in which she saw herself acquiring a new skill through the visiting team. Now she uses that income generation skill to support her family and local house church.

Thanks for praying.

This week, the Afghani Islamic leadership sent out elite troops known as Haqqani on a 'search and destroy' mission to kill any Christian leaders they could find.
Believers remain in hiding, and desperately need our prayers.

We talk about being a dad, struggles in my childhood and God's goodness through it all.

@Toddkapper Lord, please be with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Prepare their hearts, draw them to yourself so that no matter happens on the surface in their life and nation, that a great peace the comes from the heart of Christ to their surrendered heart will be their stabilizing force that keeps their souls calm in the midst of chaos. Impart much wisdom and give them clear minds to know and discern what You know they should do. Thank you. Amén.

Thank you all for your prayers, and some of you have sent private messages asking how we are doing! I appreciate this DD community! ❤️ Even if we tested positive yesterday, I've had symptoms for 8 days. It hasn't gotten worse, so I see it as a good sign it won't get worse later. I've got the same mild symptoms as when I have the common cold. Not even ache in my muscles or throat. Just coughing when I'm laying down.
My son has lower fever now, so it's going in the right direction.
My husband, who lives a very healthy lifestyle with lots of running and skiing, has been more tired than usual and has the same sensations in his throat - but he's been working all the time (he works from home). I tried to encourage him today to work less, and focus on getting rid of this first. We are having vit C, vit D, zink, echinacea, herbal teas, raw honey, lemon water, chaga and maitake mushrooms (in capsules), breathing essential oils from a diffusor. Tomorrow we will get colloidal silver.

21 Again he said, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."
22 Then he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

This was so interesting - how a Muslim became a Christian believer BY reading the Koran.
"At the end of the road to Allah, Jesus is the One who is waiting."

Worth the watch.

WE HAVE TESTED POSITIVE! I've had mild flu symptoms since last Thursday. I took a home test on Fri, that showed negative. I've been working so far this week, but felt tired, and worked shorter days. My husband had fever one night a couple of days ago, but he's been working as well (you don't easily stop him from working, as he has lots of deadlines and meetings). Our son (13 yrs old) has stayed home from school for two days because of symptoms, and last night he got fever. He's still got quite high fever. Tonight my husband wanted to take home tests, and we all three tested positive. None of us are injected with mRNA or have any particular health issues or diagnoses - so our immune systems are probably intact. But please remember us in your prayers anyway - especially Edvin who has fever!
