In the beginning was the Word....
How will they know unless they hear, and how will they hear unless someone preaches to them?
Jesus is the Truth
Satan NEEDS to stop the Preaching of the Truth and the Word of God
Free speech is inseparable from Christianity
THIS! is the reason why we created DingDash.com.
@bethany right? its actually according to state. Montana doesn't require so the university doesn't require. Vermont does require for the universities so Norwich has to require it.
How bad are things getting in North Korea?
Well according to the North Korean government - 700 orphans have just "volunteered" to work in coal mines.

Such a fun time. One son is vaccinated BUT is going to a university with no mask mandate and no vaccination requirement (Montana State University) and the other son is NOT vaccinated and is returning to a University (Norwich) with BOTH a mask mandate AND a vaccination requirement.
We guessed wrong. 🤷♂️
Thanks so much to everyone who has prayed for my daughter. Please continue to pray. We have an appointment with a different doctor tomorrow. She hasn't yet recovered fully as we'd hoped. I know God is faithful. He is hearing and answering prayer. Thank you so much for joining me on behalf of my daughter.

This feels like it is becoming a habit.
Are new diseases born in China at a rate that seem faster than usual - or is that just perception? 🤔

@Cmarquis wow! that looks awesome!
PTL! Against all odds - the doors have opened to print and distribute Bibles in China!
We do not know how long this door will be open, but we thank God for it today. Let us work while it is still day, for the night soon cometh, when no man can work.

@tymektt "ALWAYS pack tissue"
@tanjaostman we never spend much time in Turku. We have always felt that it feels a little more Russian there. It is only the place where the ship pulls in. So we just drive through on our way to Kustavi and spend time there. it is about 90 minutes away from Turku. Have you been there? My wife's aunt and uncle are both doctors in Kustavi, so we go there and spend time with them and then head out from Kustavi to the archipelago.
@tanjaostman PS. my favorite is watching my wife pronounce loimulohi! her mouth does things that mine refuses to do. i C-A-N-N-O-T say that word to save my life.
@tanjaostman we often stay at a small remote Island that my wife's family owns in the archipelago. Every year we take the Silja Line to Turku and drive to Kustavi and take a personal boat to the island. In Kustavi they sell the loimulohi - made on a grill like the picture below. My favorite is when they crumble blue cheese on it! we often get about 5 or 6 of them and take them to the island with us and live for about a week with no electricity, no people, no computers - just sauna, swimming, reading, and loimulohi!!! 🤣
@bethany it's minna. ALL minna. in my early 20s i only really ate pizza, burgers, donuts, macaroni and cheese, etc. food got in my way for the most part. i didn't REALLY enjoy anything. then one day i accidentally ate a piece of minna's "medium rare" steak at Ruth's Steak House (yes, there's a difference). i say accidentally, because i hated the idea - i ONLY liked well done. i immediately fell in love! I also HATED salmon. hated the smell of any fish cooking. but in my late 20s, minna tricked me into eating grilled salmon in Finland called Loimulohi - and OMG - its all I wanted to eat for a month straight. Then every xmas, she had me eat raw salmon with mustard sauce - now it's my fave. my taste buds went through a radical transformation in my 30s and i fell in love with food. i also fell in love with cooking. now in my 40s, rich flavored food and deep dark wine are two things that paint my world happy.
I have been living and causing trouble in China for more than 20 years.
