My dear son Edvin finished grade 6 today! Great grades and proud parents. In August he will go to another school in the city. We start school at the age of 7 in Finland so he has just turned 13.

@messenjahofchrist both Hailey and Justin are very serious in their faith. I have followed them both on Instagram for a while, watched documentaries and read interviews with them that proofs this. I totally agree with you!

Love is more than a feeling. Great examples from the Scripture how to love. I am still learning how to love and how to receive God's love. "But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor 13:13. "Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself ." Matthew 22

@KarlGessler interesting! I will listen later...

@sinbach Thanks for the picture! ❤️ I love the Turku (Åbo for me) archipelago, it's so beautiful! Then you know exactly how Finns love to spend their holidays. Sauna and swimming...mmm. You are very lucky if you have access to a cabin both in the Swedish mountains and one in the Finnish archipelago!

It takes 3,5-4 hours to drive to Turku from us. My husband's head office is there. If you happen to be in Turku, please let me know, if we happen to be close by!
You are forgiven if you can't pronounce the complex vowel sounds. 😂

@sinbach it's embarrassing to admit but I had to google loimulohi... I have eaten all kinds of lohi, but not exactly loimulohi. Most dishes are simultaneously Swedish and Finnish (like meatballs that originate from Sweden)... and then we have these typically Finnish dishes, that don't even have a Swedish name.

@bethany I understand that you think that you speak the correct English - it's the original! 😀 And it's more sofisticated...

@erdenpilger 😀

No offense British people! Not said it's not as beautiful as American English... it's just harder to understand and pronounce it. I visited my sister in Manchester in 2006 when she lived there, and I almost panicked when it was so difficult to understand her friends. I thought that my English was too bad. Then I met her American friend and understood her! 😂 I don't know how much is has to do with growing up with American movies, tv-series and music, and how much it has to do with British English, is objectively more complicated, especially dialects. When I try to speak English I sound more American than British. I should go to England and practice...

We should listen to the wisdom of former LGBTQ people, since Christians tend to fall into one of two ditches. Neither of them is the way of Christ, which is the third way.

@MaryMamuzich @tymektt we do also have lots of canola fields in Finland! But it will take a few weeks before they bloom.

@bethany oh, that's bad! We have had better than that, but compared to how May use to be, it's been both colder, more windy and rainy. Wishing you more sunshine 🌞 for June!

@sinbach that's the weirdest proverb I've ever read! 😂 You are nuts... 😅 🤣

@bethany have you had many days with rain lately? We have had more cloudy or rainy days than usual in May.

@Berrybunchfamily I meant beans (I blame autocorrect for the misspelled word).

@Berrybunchfamily great! I made it the easier way with tinned bensa.

@Kruselady wonderful!

Grilling chicken wings, potatoes and mushrooms tonight. For the first time in my life I made hummus. It wasn't too complicated.

@Kruselady do you make cheese of the goat's milk, or drink the milk? (If it's female). I love all kinds of cheese made from goat's milk. In addition the milk is more healthy than cow milk.
