Springtime in Finland means melting snow and temperatures above 0°C... +4°C today. 😀 Then you can eat outside.

Spot on.

Why we need alternative platforms... This makes me sad and upset. Dr David Jockers is a born again Christian, one of my favorite health advocates of natural and holistic health. A humble man who helps people for real. It's not about money. He writes articles on natural health and diet that are based on scientific studies. You can seek him up to get his news mail, before he is totally banned from FB, IG and YouTube.

This is a little mean. But I can't help but share it. 😉

Are there any other countries outside of the Nordic countries that have similar red wooden houses? These houses where I live (Finnish west coast) are all 100-200 years old, but thoroughly renovated. We have a lot of them in this village - looks like Sweden, because they are typically Swedish (we were a part of Sweden for almost 700 years). The red paint originated from the copper mine in Falun, Sweden, and became very popular during the 17th-19th century. They wanted the houses to look like the more "luxurious" tile walls in Europe. Most houses in Sweden were wooden.

I like helping my son (grade 6) with his English homework... but he doesn't need much help, it's quite easy for him. He has learned a lot by playing Minecraft and following youtubers.

Frank Viola: The Insurgence- Reclaming the Gospel of the Kingdom

The social gospel is NOT the same as the gospel of the Kingdom, Frank Viola writes in Insurgence - Reclaming the Gospel of the Kingdom. You don’t get the whole chapter, so I take a risk. But people don't read long texts on social media...
