"Something else in our relative’s gospel presentation stood out: her claim that “Jesus can set you free from fear and save you from eternal death.” These words were medicine for my soul and food for my hungry heart. I had never heard such words of peace and reassurance from any spiritual leader in the Islamic world."

This was quite touching to watch. "As a police officer, Chad Robichaux had to make a life-or-death decision. As a Force Recon Marine serving as part of a Joint Special Operations Command Task Force, he witnessed unspeakable evil. Eight tours later those memories still haunted him."
Sometimes I wonder how soldiers who serve in wars make it mentally. They seem so fearless. But Chad says many suffer from PTSD, 80% go through divorce, and around 20 veterans kill themselves every day. Chad, who served in Afghanistan, wouldn't have made it without the help of God. Now he and his wife help veterans.

Have you noticed that you can join Back to Jerusalem on Telegram? I just saw it on their website. So far we are only four people there. https://t.me/BackToJerusalemNews

You don't need to be a member of MENSA to understand that there are something called cause and effect. Suddenly a lot of people suffer from 'sudden adult death syndrome. And it's so mysterious with all these sudden deaths, among both ordinary people and professional athletes. Why didn't that happen 2 years ago? 🤔

This girl is incredible! Her brain must be a little differently vired... 😀 I don't understand how some people can be fluent in more than four or five languages. She learned Korean by watching movies. She's truly dedicated to learning new languages, but she must have a great memory and talent. I studied German in school (an hour a week for five years), but I can't speak it. I understand some. I understand Norwegian and Danish. I can communicate in English and Finnish, and my mother tongue is Swedish. But I've been frustrated that I'm totally fluent only in Swedish. I suppose you need to be immersed with a language to become fluent - hear it for hours every day and speak it daily. I try to pick up basic French from Instagram tutors, but I've come to the conclusion it's too complicated to learn on my own... I would need a course. I would love to learn other languages, but it's not my strongest talent... 😅

I want to watch this documentary by Matt Walsh! Who thought a few decades ago that Westerners would lose the ability to define what a man and a woman is? Crazy times!

@sinbach Your text was inspiring! It's a beautiful song. The history of the song is inspiring as well:
"The lyrics of the song were written by Yip Harbug, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants.../...The song was first published in 1939, at a time when the Jews in Europe were coming under increased hostility. Their freedoms were being taken away, their identity being dragged through the dirt, and many of them were feeling isolated. They were trapped, unable to “fly”.
The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the Holocaust.
Yip did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when he wrote this song. The lyrics “chimney tops” take on a harrowing new meaning now that we know the horrors of the Holocaust. I am sure many Jews looked to the skies above Auschwitz’s chimney’s, longing for the day they were free."
