“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
~2 Timothy 3:1-5🕊
@Mourning_Starz2 May the coming two months (or however long) be very special. A time of weeping and remembering, a time of joy and laughter, a time of looking and holding hands. A time in the presence of the Lord.
@PennyCormick@DrDobberstein I didn’t know about the mahjong but could guess about the other two. A bit of restraint with all the jewellery might improve her overall look.
@ViQueenie Their regular moving and especially dealing with the insecurity of living in borrowed homes will be devastating on the children and their family life.
@JamesMelville What a dreadful advertisement. It has nothing to do with the majesty and mercy and joy of the message of Christmas.
I assume shoppers won’t going into the stores if they are looking for Christmas gifts.
The larger populations of persecuted Christians are mainly in these Muslim countries:
Sudan - 3,000,000 Sudanese Christians.
Syria - 300,000 Syrian Christians.
Nigeria - 100,000,000 Nigerian Christians.
Pakistan - 4,000,000 Pakistani Christians.
Because these are Muslim countries, there is nothing Western Christianity can do, except import them.
Christians who emigrated from Muslim-majority countries to the West have not stood out as a social problem. They tend to integrate better than Muslim immigrants from the same countries.
This makes you wonder why Western countries are importing the Muslims, rather than the Christians.
@LuanaGoriss They will miss you and I will miss you.
I think they are telling you that they love you and look forward to hearing that you have settled in to your new home and have been embraced there with joy.

This is Etienne Gouttefarde. He runs Les Papiers de la Grange, one of the last mills in France still making paper entirely by hand, the way they did it 500 years ago.
Just old cotton rags torn by hand, beaten into pulp for hours, scooped sheet by sheet, pressed and hung to dry.
Wait for the clover at the end ☘️
This is how you make real paper.
This is the ATO Commissioner Rob Heferen appointed in 2024 by @AustralianLabor Treasurer @JEChalmers. He’s a career Public Servant and he’s paid $928,980 a year. He’s never worked outside of the APS (Australian Public Service) or run a small business & neither has anyone on his team, yet he was happy to cut off credit card payments, the cash flow lifeline small businesses depend on when the tax bill lands. Well done @JNampijinpa for holding him to account.
@unreMARKLEble The fabric, the colour, the style and the cut were all so unflattering for her. As for her appalling hair … did she think she was going swimming?
That beautiful tiara must have been shrinking in embarrassment.
