@bethany I understand that! We don’t have snow at home right now, but it will come. Some winters we get more than enough... I wish we could share it with you! You should come and visit Finland in the winter!

The first time we experience snow this season! Driving from Umeå to Piteå and Luleå in northern Sweden to visit friends. We went with a brand new ferry from Vasa (Finland) to Umeå in 3,5 hours. It's the world's most northern year round passenger ferry. It's dependent on icebreaker ships that break the ice before. This ferry is even the most environmentally friendly vessel in the world, because it's LNG-fuelled.
Thank you Sweden 🇸🇪 for not requiring any covid certificates at the border! And in addition we can pause the use of masks.

@sinbach 😂 OK, so you are like the guy filming, calling out phonies, and Minna trying to cool you down?

"While I was wallowing in self-pity, there was a whole world with literally billions of people who had no idea who God is, how amazing He is, and the wonders He has done for us. They are the ones who are really suffering. They don't know the message of the gospel.
But now I knew what it meant to follow God. Now I had found Jesus.
And all suffering is worth it to follow Jesus. He is that amazing."

This has easily become one of my favourite books I've read this year. Highly recommend for those who haven't read it.

The world's ways of responding to injustice are futile, doomed to failure. Politicians lie and ignore us, but our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and answers them in His perfect timing.

@tymektt Google translation: "Fufusia Stories: Courage to be obedient". Right?

@bethany yes, still! But November in Finland is not nice, unless we get snow. No leaves left, very dark and often rainy. Still enjoying October... 😊

"I used to wear nice clothes to cocktail parties. Now I just wear the truth" DC Draino. Respect!

Living as an entertainment lawyer in California, “If you believed anything to the right of communism, you got shunned,” he said. “After 2016, if you vocally supported the GOP, President Trump, or even just conservative ideas, you lost friends, you lost job opportunities, you got unfollowed on social media.”... "He started an Instagram account under the pseudonym “DC Draino,” although his name and identity are publicly associated with the account now. “Drain the DC swamp!” he says, assuring me he’s “very anti-corruption.”

O’Handley gained followers by the thousands and the tens of thousands right away. Something about his persona struck a nerve."

We had a cold, frosty morning with -2°C. Soon winter is here!

Jesus is the Main Thing.

This is why I like BTJ over the "Big" missions coming through my inbox. I don't feel like I'm just a number on a faceless contact list. Thank you BTJ!

"Facebook wants Back to Jerusalem to pay money for advertising, which we refuse to do. We don’t pay for Google ads or SEO optimizing. We do not have a marketing company or dedicated marketing personnel working for us. In terms of marketing, we do everything wrong and yet there are still so many people visiting our website every day." from BTJ article.

Help Me! Why is this happening?

• 1 in 6 has had Covid (possibly more, 40% asymptomatic)
• 60% are fully vaccinated in USA
• Covid vaccine has an effectiveness that is non-zero.
• Natural immunity has been found to be more effective than the vaccine
• vaccinated can still be infected
• vaccinated can still transmit
• vaccine may have side effects

So why are vaccines being mandated?
Logically it does not make sense to me.

@Sliggett the same questions I ask! It doesn't make sense from a medical point of view. This is about other things! It's scary that she has moved from Russia to the US and gets PTSD because she recognizes the same spirit as in the Soviet Union.

@faith20 Ok! I understand it's not easy just to move to another country. I don't know if you have children or adult children... It's always more difficult to move with children, even if it's possible. And the fact is, that we never know what will happen in the future in the more liberal countries when it comes to covid passports. Praying for God's leading for you!

@faith20 What's going on in the world is terrible! People lose their jobs around the world! As you say, it's a very hard test! Let's encourage one another, to cling to our faith in Jesus Christ. I pray the Lord will bless you and keep you, and sustain you! Have you lived in Italy all of your life?

I haven't walked in your shoes, since I still have my teacher job. I can just imaging how it must be feeling. Even if I don't know how you feel, I want to share these verses that came to my mind: Luke 12: "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,[a] yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them."

In Italy the situation is really unbearable. Without a vaccination passport you can no longer work. As I have already written to you since the first of September I am at home without work. It's sad but it's happening right under our eyes. I have been a believer for twenty years and I can assure you that it is a very hard test. I am also thinking of expatriation but I don't even know where to go. They took our jobs away! Pray again for my wife and me. Let's pray together for Italy. Remember that what is happening now here could happen anywhere because Italy has been chosen as the world leader for the organization of vaccinations. Thanks again. I love you in Jesus Christ.

"These studies demonstrate what was and is already known: natural immunity for a SARS-type virus is robust, long-lasting, and broadly effective even in the case of mutations, generally more so than vaccines. In fact, a major contribution of 20th-century science has been to expand upon and further elucidate this principle that has been known since the ancient world. Every expert presumably knew this long before the current debates. The effort to pretend otherwise is a scientific scandal of the highest order, especially because the continued neglect of the topic is affecting the rights and freedoms of billions of people.”
