I don't like it when churches skirt around the evolution issue. Say what you believe. If you believe in billions of years thru God-directed evolution, say so. If you believe in 6 literal days, say so.

While most of the symptoms are gone, covid is still kicking my behind. Can't seem to get past the fatigue part of it.
God bless you and prayers

It is truly amazing what People can accomplish and how we can change, when God is with us.
I continue to witness His Amazing Love.

May you feel His Presence and His Blessings as the week comes to the end. :heart:

Not really.:ahem: But I do truly appreciate your encouragement. :)

Actually that might be a good idea for everyone here to state the challenges - however great or small they may seem in your own eyes - coming up this week that you would like for everyone else to pray for your sake on. :angel:

Hopefully at least the people I can think of to tag will see this and be willing to share. ^-^

For anyone I have left out, please forgive me, but I hope you see this post nonetheless. :)

I'm still suffering greatly from police brutality, it's fallout, and a broken system with more patience than I do time. I'm suffering persecution in my city; knowing the local RCMP won't defend my rights, but instead are trying to cover up their own crimes. I still struggle with forgiveness and reconciliation, especially because of how one-sided the reconciliation efforts are to me. Most of all, my unjustified anger towards God, even though Scripture already warned me in advance (James 3, John 15:18-16:4, Jude 1, Prov. 18:21, 2 Tim. 3:1-4:8). Coping is very hard without proper support, especially when your tarnished reputation precedes you. Please and thank you.

Know your rights.[1][2] It may protect you from the very people whom are supposed to protect you. This situation opened my eyes to police brutality, while also proving just how valuable the police really are. We cannot afford a society of victims, nor can we afford a corrupt/broken system. How can the blind lead the blind (Luke 6:37-42)? Won't they both fall into a ditch (Matt. 15:13-14)? These are what lead to events like the American, French, and Russian Revolutions, if not handled correctly (Ecc. 3:1-8, Jer. 17:9, Matt. 7:6, Prov. 16:25). Peaceful reform is possible, as proven by Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohondas Gandhi.

Use Christ-like rhetoric leading to reform, not rebellion. Practice makes improvement. It appears jobs may have been lost (even Mormon missionaries seem to avoid me now) because they condemned themselves by their own words, destroying their own credibility with unsatisfactory answers. You may have seen examples of this on CF, how often users rely on (perceived) power imbalances instead of Christ-like character.

God bless!

I'm saddened by the sickening stuff people create these days. I wish people made more clean content and cared more about those who don't want to see unclean stuff. I wish people wouldn't take characters made for kids and make dirty content about them that is totally unsafe for kids. And I really wish people would properly rate their work. :/

You don't have to fill your artwork, stories, comics, videos, etc. with garbage for them to be funny and entertaining! It only makes them disgusting and something to avoid.

I'm talking about fanmade content in general, but I know there are companies that sadly do the same things.
