And one more quote for today...

"There was Jesus." This world is so screwed up that I would lose my mind without Jesus, my anchor. There is so much brokenness and hurt all around us. Rich or poor. In my (European) mind this music is as American as it can get, and I love it. https://youtu.be/28a2MSoGgjA

I found two great quotes of BROTHER YUN, whom some of you know. And two other quotes of Jon Zens on the same theme. (I shared some quotes yesterday as well).

Enjoying the fireplace.

This is so beautiful, it makes me cry! “Yes. For there was once a man who threw a great dinner party and invited many. When it was time for dinner, he sent out his servant to the invited guests, saying, ‘Come on in; the food’s on the table.’ “Then they all began to beg off, one after another making excuses.../... “The servant went back and told the master what had happened. He was outraged and told the servant, ‘Quickly, get out into the city streets and alleys. Collect all who look like they need a square meal, all the misfits and homeless and wretched you can lay your hands on, and bring them here.’ “The servant reported back, ‘Master, I did what you commanded—and there’s still room.’ “The master said, ‘Then go to the country roads. Whoever you find, drag them in. I want my house full! Let me tell you, not one of those originally invited is going to get so much as a bite at my dinner party.’”
Luke 14:16‭-‬24 MSG

And of course herbal teas!

BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!

I want to share some experiences about boosting the immune system, and curing the flu. I’ve learned the hard way. From the time my son was 1 year old, and many years on, he was sick almost every month except for the summer, and got serious reactions, like asthmatic symptoms. Even rushed to the hospital because of breathing difficulties. My immune system was lowered as well. Nowadays I almost never get sick from flu or cold – I get only mild symptoms. My son is doing better every year. You can find scientific studies on most of these. You don’t need all of them at once.

I BOOST WITH

Clean (mostly organic) anti-inflammatory food (a few exceptions every week), berries, Vit-C, Vit-D, Zink, green powders/smoothies, probiotics (capsules or sauerkraut/kimchi)…

WHEN I FEEL SICK:

Raw honey/manuka honey, colloidal silver, inhale essential oils of tea tree, peppermint & oregano, echinaforce, Vit-C, Zink, chaga, garlic, freshly squeezed lemon, ginger, etc.

Crazy Finns part 2. With a bunch of teens on skis pulled by snowmobiles - on the frozen sea in -20°C. (I would like to share a video, but it doesn't work to upload it. I have tried before as well).

This video is so refreshing! I shared an article some days ago and was upset about the Zacharias scandal. This guy puts things so well. So many good points. He is a new person to me, apparently a appreciated apologist himself with half a million followers on Youtube. He says it feels so uncomfortable when people are praising him. In addition he makes a little surprising turn in the other half of the clip. He wants people to understand that giftings and success, has nothing to do with a high moral or virtue. We are gifted in different areas, but our giftings are given to serve others, not to make others serve us and put us on a pedestal. In addition, being gifted and praised, in combination with personal struggle, might be devastating if you are not allowed to be transparent and honest. This guy is brutally honest about his own background – prison, not being able to show empathy, his strange reactions when his mother died because of drug abuse, and more.
