I love Tori Kelly's soulful singing. Her journey to fame is a God story. All doors were closed, and closed again, she was rejected, they didn't accept her shy personality and so on. She had to let her dream die to let God do the work. There is a rest in the truth that you don't have to be anybody else than yourself. She would sit in her girl room and write down her thoughts, and birthed her own songs. She shared them and got a record deal.

Once a year in July there is an event close to our home with old time 'post boats', that a team (5-6 p) rows between Finland and Sweden, where the distance is shortest namely between Holmön (close to Umeå, Swe), and Björkö (close to Vasa, Fin). The distance is around 60 kilometers, and it takes from 6 hours to a day. In the old days mail were delivered by boats between Fin and Swe, as Finland was part of Sweden. You can watch this short clip, even if it's in Swedish.

Found on Telegram: "Here's Zuckerberg in a leaked internal Facebook video saying the same things about the covid shot that he bans people from his platform for talking about.
Unbelievably vile small hat behavior. Of course it's no surprise to anyone here, nor is this new information.

I follow a few Telegram channels that share testimonials every day about vaccine injuries. I follow both Finnish and Swedish FB pages, where anybody can share about injuries and death, and people share every day. I've not been active on FB in a couple of month. I don't need to read anymore about the side effects. I'm already 100% convinced of the risks. But there are still people out there who think mRNA is safe and effective. I have given up the idea that I can convince anybody, who still belive the lies despite the load of evidence, both in form of thousands of testimonials and all medical papers, and warnings from experts. I just pray for my relatives that the won't take a third or fourth one.
Virologist, vaccine expert, PhD, DVM, Dr Geert Vanden Bossche, gives a strong warning against vaccinating children with covid vaccines, from a immunological point of view. He says it might be a death sentence for the child, aside from the risks with side effects. He says that the mRNA is going to suppress the innate immune system. Dr Bossche used to work for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and has 30 years of vaccine expertise. Have you ever noticed that we never hear the most experienced and prominent researchers and experts in mainstream media? I have saved over 100 research papers in my computer, that talk about natural remedies, efficient drugs, mRNA side effects, and alike, but the only thing we hear about is Pfizer's own biased studies, and reports about how "safe and effective" the vaccines are. Unfortunately this year a phenomenon called Sudden adult death syndrome (SADS) has been frequently mentioned in media. We live in crazy times!

I haven't even read half of this book yet, but I'm so inspired, that I have to share about it now! This book by Eugene @sinbach was written in 2015, but I ordered it a few months ago, and it's a timeless read. I haven't read many fiction books as an adult, because I think biographies and other non-fiction books are more interesting. What I love about this book and other books by Eugene, is that he doesn't only tell the stories of people he meets, but also paints the bigger picture, with facts and history about a certain nation or religion (or other things). And it's not only Wikipedia facts, but unique insights that he has gotten by researching on site, by reading books and talking to locals. I have learnt so much about the nations in the 10/40 window by reading his books and following BTJ - things that you don't learn in school, in tourist guides, from Wikipedia or even history books. Together with two other books on Iran, it has totally changed my view of Iranians and birthed a love
New preprint study showing non-vaccinated less likely to be hospitalized is republished on MSN.com, then quickly taken down

This is so beautiful, and exactly what Jesus would do - on the streets where all the people are. I happened to see a clip on Instagram of this girl called Harmonie London. Then I saw more clips, and people are touched by her singing in the streets of London. It becomes a place of God's presence. People are crying and this homeless alcoholic man is bowing down and soaking in His presence. A rich man passing by in a Ferrari throws money in another clip. She sings like an angel.

The founder of Satanist church of South Africa encounters Jesus Christ! He mentions that he used to be in Christian ministry before becoming Satanist. Isn't it quite common that Westerners who are atheists or Satanists have grown up in church and are disappointed with Christianity/Christians?

The paradox when following Christ.
"I thought if I could drift away
From the deepest pain in me
I could just swim somehow
But Your love's pulling me down, pulling me down, pulling me down
Now I'm in a valley, looking up
You have never felt so close
Canyons all around me, stars above
Meet me in the depths below
Where the lost is found
Where the broken is crowned
Where souls rise up from the ground
You got me in the valley looking up
Where the misfits, they fit in
Where death brings life again
Where the lonely won't be alone
Where the orphans have a home
Where I don't have to be
Anything but what You made me
Where repentance is glorious
Our scars tell the stories
Of a current of love that's surrounding."

Control and manipulation of others is witchcraft. Control and manipulation to make people obey you, in God's name, is not from the Spirit. Quite the opposite. Trust the Lord is doing his work in others, and pray God's will be done in their lives - not your will. Every single person can be lead by the Spirit and have direct access to the father without any mediator, according to the NT. Jesus is our high priest and mediator. He was the end of the OT temple worship, by being The high priest, The temple, and The perfect Lamb that was sacrificed. No human beings, buildings, entity or deeds, can replace that. We either choose Jesus, or Christian (or other) religion. But the NT says that we are under the curse if we trust our own righteousness instead of Jesus'. No human being is perfect, except from the second Adam, the son of God. The only perfect man.
I'm so happy that we got to travel by plane to the UK - you never know if they will will make it harder again to travel. It's so healthy for us who live in the European country with the least densely population to see other parts of the world, and especially western Europe's biggest city. We loved it and had so much fun. I'm so impressed with all polite and kind Brits that we have met. They live in a very crowded place, and are still patient with tourists. We happened to come during the biggest rail strike in 30 years, and made it anyway to @Berrybunchfamily and back by train. Now we're sitting on a train home, instead of a connection flight (due to delays in Heathrow). A great part of our journey has been about waiting, rescheduling, planning, and going from point A to B. My son googled that the average speed in London is 12 km/hrs for vehicles. That's slower than we cycle, so we rented Santander bikes a lot. They have 800 docking stations in London, and cost GBP 2 per 30 min.
