It would be fully possible to ski downhills, but the last day the lift was working was a week ago. My husband has been cross-country skiing 60 kilometers this week. That's crazy, since the tracks aren't in their best shape anymore, and the longest track is 5 km. I was walking up these stairs, that are between two slopes. That's very efficient and hard for the legs. I'm glad the roads are free from snow, so I can bike again. Many Scandinavians bike all year round with winter tyres. But after I fell and hit my head at 20 (no helmet back then), I stopped biking on icy roads.
These paintings by a young woman, with the account Salt & Gold collection, on Instagram, made me cry, and I am still. Foot washing is such a powerful demonstration of God's love and mercy towards humanity. John 3:16. I can't fathom it. I grew up in church with the lack of love a sensitive heart would have needed, and lots of legalism. But the Lord has softened my heart, and over and over again I need to be reminded that God is love (according to His definition of love. Not our own sinful definitions).
Beautiful worship in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, English, Korean and Persian.

"There's nobody like you Jesus", sings one of the biggest popstars of our time. Thank you Justin Bieber for sharing the good news with young people!

Maskers Anonymous for mask addicts! 😂 I love the satire site The Babylon Bee. Twitter doesn't like it, so they have been banned.

The Finnish archipelago is unique and a tourist attraction - you find at least 180,000 islands in Finland (220,000 according to Wikipedia. 88,000 of them are amid the 188,000 lakes - the rest in the sea. If you open the article, and then click "the Kvarken archipelago" you find the archipelago outside of the coast where I live. In my opinion, it's not as beautiful as the archipelago in southern Finland, but what makes Kvarken archipelago unique, and a UNESCO world heritage, is that the land is rising at the rate of 8-9 millimeters per year, which is around 1 square kilometer of new land area every year (there are areas in our world that are sinking).

"Did you know that the church in Iran is one of the fastest growing churches in the world?
Just 40 years ago, there were 500 known Christians from a Muslim background in Iran. Four prayer-soaked decades later, there are now closer to a million Iranian followers of Jesus – many of whom were formerly Muslims."

Longing for these days, when nature turns from white and grey (as it has been last half year) into green and other colors! These pictures are from last year in May and June.
