A Few Things

 I got an email from Plain People in the News,  and I want to let you know that there have been two arrests made in the Sasha Krause murder case.  One suspect ( the actual murderer) was arrested a couple of weeks ago and the second suspect (accomplice) earlier this week.  I'm not mentioning their names because quite frankly these people aren't worthy enough to have their names mentioned here. But please pray for Sasha's family.  I think this is going to be an extremely difficult time for them as they go through learning what happened to her before she died.

Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer so I encourage you to take some time to pray for the leaders of whatever country you are in since I know  not all my readers are  from America.  Pray for the governor of your state as some are starting to lift the stay the stay at home orders and allowing some businesses to open up. Please  pray that opening up doesn't cause a sudden increase in virus  cases.  Also pray for recovery of those who are sick from the virus and for those who've lost their loved ones.

I'm well aware of people who are lacking good sense that are spreading false information about COVID-19 being fake and others  whining about their "rights" being violated. Honestly,  I want to take each person who says that over my knee and give them a good (as we called it growing up ) whoopin!😠

Getting back to National Day of Prayer there are going to be several live stream services and  I ask that you use discernment regarding which one you decide to participate in if your church isn't having its own live stream.  There are some being held that have false teachers or having doctrinal beliefs that I believe are wrong so please be careful.  I know you may be thinking that it shouldn't matter what a person believes but it does matter.  It's so easy for a person to be led astray by elegant prayers that include name it, claim it or the prosperity gospel or other false doctrine inserted in their prayers.  Again please be wise.

I want to do a short tutorial on making a easy wrist pin cushion since I've gotten back into sewing again. I know their are plenty on YouTube but I thought it would be something fun to teach you all . I'll let you know when I decide to do that one.

 I've been sewing masks and it seems everyone I know who owns a sewing machine has been doing the same thing. My daughters and I went to get a new sewing machine at our local sewing machine sales and repair shop.  I'm not in the market for a new sewing machine myself but oh did we see so many nice machines.

They had an increase the number of machines that needed repairing lately.  I guess either because people want to sew masks or they needed something to do while being at home. The owner said they were backed up and had over 200 machines that needed repair! I've learned from my daughter Shannon that most  sewing machine problems 

are caused by incorrect threading.  She figured out that was my problem when I thought my machine was broken. So it's been working like a champ ever since she "repaired" it.

So anyway Shannon ended up buying a BabyLock Jubilant sewing machine on sale. It's a lovely machine  with so many stitch choices and other features.  I think she will get many years of sewing out of it.

I'm still having  Google Blogger issues with fellow bloggers posts coming in odd order, or not at all until a day later. But then I've noticed I'm not the only one having issues. 

So I hope the problems will go away on its on. 

Book Review-The Kingdom That Turned the World Upside Down- David Bercot

 

I was very excited to receive this book for review.  His book really challenges my beliefs

 about Jesus teaching on the kingdom of God and His Sermon on the Mount. David Bercot explains how the early Christians lived according to Jesus' teachings and somehow over time the teachings from the Sermon on the Mount started to be ignored or compromised.  Issues like not loving money,  loving your enemy, not swearing oaths, etc are discussed.  I'm going to be honest, if you are not familiar with Anabaptist beliefs and church history, you most probably will not like this book. In fact you might just hate it,however David Bercot is only teaching what Jesus says in His Word and as far as I know, God has not changed.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher (Scroll PubPublishing in exchange for  my honest review.

Minor Blogger Problems

Is anyone else having problems with their Blogger Following list either out of order? For example Susie Blogger( not a real blog just an example) will come and the time stamp will say it was posted maybe two hours  ago. Then above Susie Blogger it will have  Mary Blogger( again not a real blog) 25 minutes ago. When I go to check for new blog posts later in the day  there will be a blog post for Lucy Blogger between Susie Blogger and Mary Blogger which wasn't there earlier and now it will say that Mary Blogger posted ten minutes ago her post was earlier in the day. No one has edited their posts so I'm thinking it's a Blogger issue and they are having difficulty with their post timing and maybe "hiccuping" their posts. There was a post that came in on a Sunday but was repeated the next day and it wasn't an issue with the blog author it just simply repeated itself. Does my post make any sense?

I don't think it's a Daylight Saving Time issue as Arizona doesn't observe it.

Resurrection Sunday

He is Risen!

Good Friday

                                            Jesus paid it all

Keeping Busy

I decided to change my blog page to a books background because I'm going to do a lot of reading while we are on stay at home order. I have books for review and books that are ones I started but haven't finished.

I was going to add a "But Wait There's More" photo because I have  even more books, Lord willing, I will be reading but I decided not to overwhelm you all. 😊

I removed my Followers gadget on my blog in hopes that it will reduce the amount of spam comments you all receive on your blogs and in your email.

I hope you all are staying safe and obeying your stay at home orders if your area has one.
