GUEST POST from Don – Protesting Safely
"Whether we realise it or not, the hundreds of voices we follow on social media are influencing us. Platforms like Instagram can encourage faith and even draw people to Christ. But do we recognise the subtle ways the voices we follow can form us?"
Jan 29, 2026 @ 10:44 Good morning family & friends❣️ I'm in a bit of a rush this morning and I've run out of time to write much here but I wanted to get the morning updates (the study/devo - whatever it is turning into - and today's video short and ain't it the truth memes) done because it's going to be a busy day and I'm not sure when I will be back here. But I wanted to get the next Bible study/devo on the aspects of "following Jesus and what that means" posted; I will have 2 more days on this topic and then will move on. Probably won't do another "series" right away, but we'll see where the Lord leads. Anyway, J&E will be here soon so I'd better get busy, have a great day and I will see you laterβ£οΈπŸ™ŒβœοΈπŸŽΆπŸ˜†πŸ₯©πŸŒΏπŸ’πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΅πŸ•β€πŸ¦ΊπŸ¦œ chia.owly.net/aint-that-the-truth ~ chia.owly.net/video-of-the-day
Jan 28, 2026 @ 19:46 (!) Good evening family & friends❣️ FIRST and FOREMOST, today was Gift of the Ladybug Day...please read my post from Jan 28, 2022 about our very own Ladybug, Lyra, and learn about this day devoted to children with rare diseases! [] I would have had this up earlier, and planned to, but it's been a πŸ€•πŸ˜΅πŸ˜£πŸ˜΄ day; I did play my keyboard a couple of times for short periods but mostly just slept, and Pete agreed to feed the PoiBoiz tonight so that I can go back to bed after this. I did check the weather today and it looks like as soon as next week we'll be back into the 20s during the day and double digits ABOVE zero at night...and in mid-February we will even get back up to freezing if the weather guessers are correct! February 13 is a big day for me (and for Casey for that matter) and it would be really nice for us if our temps were in the 20s or above. But for tonight, being in my πŸ›οΈ is what's on my mind hahaha! So I will see you tomorrow, sleep wellβ£οΈπŸ™‡β€β™€οΈπŸ₯±πŸ›ŒπŸŒ›
"When a person truly comes to faith in Christ, things change. Spiritually speaking, they are raised from death to life, and that new life tends to come with some obvious and visible signs. In Romans 12:9-21, the Apostle Paul describes at least three ways we might be able to tell someone has actually come to a place of genuine faith in Jesus."
