“And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” (Romans 13:11)  I have to include Barbara's great posts from our last thread. It reminds me of a video I saw that was taken of a tribe of people who were getting the Bible in their own language for the very first time. I cried like a baby all through it! I'm glad I'll be meeting them and the folks Barbara's article talks about when I get to heaven!
I just read an amazing solution that other very poor countries
did when told that they could not have more than 10 people in church!!!
These are people who really really put Jesus first in their lives!!!
They already, have put their life at grave risk, being believers!!!
What global churches did
when their governments said
they couldn’t have large gatherings
‘You can’t have more than 10 gather,’
They’ll say
we’ll just have the church
open 24 hours
seven days a week
so we’ll have groups of 10
come through throughout
the days
and
nights,”
www.christianpost.com/news/how-global-churches-responded-to-restrictions-on-large-gatherings.html
View Attachmentwe’ve had a great Christmas! Quite and peaceful! Good food, and after Christmas sales! 😂! prayerfully we’ll get to see our Netty and Justin on their drive back to California after the new year! 🎁🥂 yours sounds wonderful Cindy! ❤️
In the previous article above that I told what very poor Christians in other countries are doing when told you can only have 10 at church....
it also said that ( most) believers and non believers
in these counties,
were literally starving to death!
( and maybe still are?)
But the very same Christians
would not only
keep the churches open 24/7.....
They would find some menial
part time job
so they could buy food......
for 'just ONE day'
( because......that is all they would be paid for,
so they stay alive just one day at a time)
and then, ( after being paid and buying some food)
they
go door to door
and share what they had!!!
And that bring me to our Christ-mas
So we had a lovely dinner with Hossanah, Brian
and our two grandchildren Devon and Vanessa.
( we have a third, Liam, but we have never seen him as they are in Texas)
But after dinner
Vanessa asked her mom ( Hossanah)
if it would be possible to make up a plate
for the homeless guy
we all see everyday
a few blocks away.
He is an older man, I am guessing around 60 or so.
So Hossanah made up a plate.
And then, Devon
who wanted to go with
went into his room
and got the $20 he was saving to buy himself
a gaming computer
and put it in the letter
than Vanessa wrote
to the homeless man
telling him that God loved him.
I was a little bit stunned by both of them!
Sooooo, Vanessa drove Devon and I to where the man was asleep
( under a wee shelter from the rain ( and it was very cold out)
I woke him up so he could eat the meal while it was still warm.
( Hossanah just gave him one of her forks also...not plastic)
just the kids and I went.....didn't want to scare him with a crowd.
So I guess you never know about kids!!!
God may be working on their hearts in ways you are unaware!!!Don't be surprise if my wacky state go through another shutdown there is report that 1 out of 1,000 people has been diagnosis with Corid 19 in LA COUNTY ALONEEEE keep eye on Monday news wire I think going happen soon hate to say but my Governor is going make decision tommroow How was your weekend We are having a wicked nice weekend! Watched church from our old church in California, good message! 7 of 9 or someone grab the next chat thread! he is elected (twice) not selected View Attachment

Hi everyone! Sorry I wasn't able to say much yesterday but Bruce and I were both sick. We're both feeling some better today, but not at 100% yet. Whatever it is, it isn't covid lol. I think it's just our bodies protesting after all we did the last week before Christmas as every day we had to do a whole lot more physically then we normally do, plus there was a lot of stress. So I think it's our bodies way of saying, "I'm done!" and forcing us to take a break for awhile! 
I'm glad to hear you guys had a wonderful Christmas too. God is so very good to us!

Lulu, nice photo of the hills. The hills were ablaze with the sound of music.
Seven, I think it would be nice if you and that Gavin guy met at the French Pastry for coffee and had a discussion, he could use some good advice.
The sky is pretty today though it feels like this afternoon that the temp. is dropping instead of getting warmer, put clothes on the on clothes line because it was breezy outdoors and then it rained for 3 minutes. The thought just came to me today, I am going to buy dandelion seeds, I think I have clover seeds, if not I will buy them also, I think that will be the only thing I will be able to grow, some people can grow gardens, I tried that and it does not work for me, now I hope I can grow some edible weeds.

I also am feeling....not great.
Couldn't sleep either last night
and in a lot of pain today.
I have been going without pain meds ( almost 100%)
for awhile now
But today.....no such luck!
Ha, I will go with you Seven....I just want go try out the French Pastry ( or whatever it's called)
Of course, I could not even afford a glass of water there
Oh well, I rather be at the supper of the lamb in Heaven!!!
As always beautiful photos Lulu! Keep them coming.
I probably need to go back to picking some weeds.....I am not sure they really really do all that much
but perhaps its all in my mind
but it seems they did help
So if you were near Anna, we could go weed picking LOL
And Cindy could sneer at us and shake her head haha
I think she thinks they taste
well....
not like anything at the French Pastry
And probably taste like....
oh I know!
......like weeds :)
However, if things ever got really bad in USA
before the rapture
where no food was available
one could... in fact, eat dandelion greens instead of spinach etc.
They are plentiful and FREE!
And for example I have a ton of mint
I do put in my tea etc. etc. etc.
Or we could be like John the Baptist and eat wild honey
but I draw the line at grasshoppers
HOWEVER...................
Did you guys hear about all the crazy crazy stuff
in the stimulus package.....
How about a couple million to see if Americans
would be willing to eat bugs
or
one million goes to walking lizards on tread mills
and billions and billions
to other counties for gender fluidity
Etc. etc. etc. etc.
Maybe old age has just slowed my brain down?
But I don't see what those a 6,000 pages
of other equally
( to me)
insane pork
has to do
with Covid relief for our country?
Oh well, I am resigned to thinking
the world is now
officially insane!

Seven, that is true.....
You ARE right!!!!
unless......
You are, one of the wealthy elites....
and then
you see
you could
Like your governor did LOL
Plus, you don't have to wear a mask,
or social distance
or have the prescribed number of folks
(you can have 2 or 3 times more)
etc.
LOL
But like I said....
I couldn't even afford to pay for a glass of water there
But I imagine it must be yummy! :)
And we could chat fact to face....
like we will anyway, one day
in Heaven.
Still, it would be mud
compared to what God has prepared for us
in Heaven to eat.....
so I won't fret!

 from what I understand is, all the “pork” in these bills is because a % comes back in the form of kick backs to the politicians that make the bill happen! The democrats! And the rinos that help! It’s a big part of how so many in our congress are millionaires!! That and business opportunity’s for spouses that us peeons would go to jail for! Inside treading! all done with OUR money! Sure, President Trump probably did somethings borderline legal when he was a civilian! As ALL millionaires do, but with his OWN money! Big difference! 47 years banking our money! Or china’s money! 40+ years, some 30 years in congress banking tax payers monies! china money! Even the WHO came out and said they would force NWO is necessary! Even using this pandemic! That’s what all this is about!  |

OH!
And.....Thank you so much Cindy....
I saw that MacArthur video in my you tube, video feed!
And Thus..........
I intended to watch it,
but I got side tracked :(
So thank you for reminding me.....
I will make a huge effort to watch it today!!!!!!!
I tend to think Dr. pastor John MacArthur, is perhaps
THE best Bible expositor living today.......
Certainly in the top 10 :)
most likely in the top 3
But I lean towards him being the best!!!! :)

Cindy, I usually sleep through the changing to the new year but I might stay awake tomorrow night because Bible teacher Michael will be talking to a pastor Paul and many listening and many will be at scrolling chat, I like scrolling chat when it move fast. That way what I typed doesn't stay there long before it disappears lol, well almost everyone seems to like chat scroll fast for a change and most people have a kind and positive attitude, and interesting things that they say, but I just remembered, it will probably freeze and when it does not move that can take a bit of time before it gets back to normal.

Lulu, Is that doggy wearing a sweater? It reminded me of one time when we rowed a ashore when our boat was anchored in St Augustine FL and our dog was wearing a life jacket. A tourist woman saw the dog wearing the life jacket and asked what was around the dog and a friend named Rod told the woman that the dog had a pacemaker and it had to wear a battery pack and the woman believed him and said, oh the poor dog.

Cindy, happy new year to you and your family. Listening to Mac Arthur, I like most of all to read the writing of apostle Paul. I think he was an apostle, not sure.
Lovely that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. In one of Michael talks he said we will judge angels, that is the fallen angels that have bothered us while we are on this earth, but his talk goes on to tell why it is good that we have both good and evil on this earth, as we learn how to grow and overcome with faith it becomes our victory in the end. Michael said that his heart is to seek all things of the Father and to finish the race.

I got sidetracked again.....:(
However, I started listening to it today
Tho I went over the first part 3 times.....I was trying to find where he mentioned something in Phippians.....
I had thought he said it was in Chapter one
Finally, I was able to hear where he gave the exact verse
and wouldn't you know
It was NOT Chapter one, but chapter 3! LOL
But yeah I found it.
We are actually going to do our month's shopping today
And since I have yet, to do the Bible study today
I probably won't finish it until this afternoon
And....I used to listen a MacArthur sermon every day
and then ......... :(
So I am so so so glad you said you were going to
that so encouraged me!!!!!!
And now......I will get back into the habit!!!!!!! :)
Thank you!!!!!!
Also, I found MacArthur's explanation of the history of Philippi
and how it got it's name
and
the huge Roman battle that took place
and that Philippi originally named Crenides
( Krenides meaning "Fountains")
But was renamed by Philip II of Macedon ....to his name
Amazing how pride works!
But also it was the first church surrounded by pagans who boasted in their sins.....
Sounds so much like today!!!!

At COT a kind brother from the country of New Zealand, showed us a video, it was the year 320, the Romans put 40 christian men out in the cold of winter with no clothes on, if they denied their faith they could come out of the cold, 39 of the men died, 1 man returned to the Romans to get warm and live when then 1 Roman had a vision from the Lord and he went out into the cold to replace the one man that returned from the cold, so there were 40 men that died in faith.
