Summer Activities for Your Family

This week: summer activity ideas for your family. Every year I do one of these posts, it is very popular. Gosh, I saw a post on Twitter from a father lamenting summer. How can this be? Right. Lack of ideas. Really, it is a great time; a time to be together; a time to teach and pass along so much — and time to fix the problems.

Children with learning problems just need some fun! With so much hard work on academics, and often exactly the wrong handling of their problems at school, summer break is a welcome time of relaxation — and learning — without the stress of the academic format.

I’ve given you some new ideas in the episode, and some background on how I came up with those. Predictably, those ideas are rooted in current events and the discussions from those. Is it time to do a “how to tell what is true” series? Want more on homeschooling? Looking for more specifics on the ailment your family is struggling with? Let me know at info@greatshalom.org

Coming soon: rerun of ideas to make businesses with children, Richard Eberiga

In the mean time, post your ideas, complete with pictures. It is helpful if those pictures are .gif or .jpg   and reduced to fewer bytes.  Thanks a million!

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled — Blessed Passover/Resurrection Sunday

Wow, can we get a slow news day? What a turmoil! Jesus knew. Jesus told us. And His words prevail: “Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.”

This year the celebrations of Passover, Resurrection Sunday, and Ramadan come together. This year, so much is happening and so much is being revealed. It is hard not to be troubled. It is imperative not to be complacent. How do we go forward? According to the Word of the Lord, we net our hearts not be troubled by believing in Him, by looking to Him, by repeating his Word.

In this episode, I go thru a number of Scriptures, touch on the times, and bring it back to 4 simple things to do to keep a peaceful, victorious life. No question. It will change your life. It will enrich the life and learning capacity of your child.

Please communicate with me. We discovered a huge batch of emails went to z-space. Apologies. I do want to hear from you.

A Major in the Canadian Armed Forces has a Word to Say to Military & Police

https://www.bitchute.com/video/tgFbCPou8AUF/

A senior officer and educated in political science, from a country rooted in the same philosophy as the US and other British related countries summarizes the situation. Makes a clear call to military and police personnel.

In related news, Steve Turley Ph.D. relates success of Canadian trucker convoy — not only in Canada but around the world.

BTW, it is rumored that a convoy is planned for the USA toward the end of February. Why did Canada have a jump on the States in this case? Perhaps because Canada has more than its share of Poles, Czechs, Estonians, Latvians and Ukrainians, who have stood against both Fascisim and Communism before. Indeed, truck convoys have made head of states in those countries resign. Indeed, perhaps the first such protest was Lech Walensa in Poland, shutting down the shipping yards.

The workers of the world united against an elite who was using communism to enslave and impoverish the people. Neither Soviet style nor Maoist style communism has ever worked. Only Cuba and North Korea and China to some extent still claim to be communist. China is including both state capitalism and more traditional values. Japan could similarly be called state capitalism, but it is democratic instead of authoritarian. This observation puts the lie to hiding behind “government charity” in order to disenfranchise, enslave people.

If Canadians can rouse them from this deception, surely the USA should be able to do so. Looks like perhaps we are. See Turley quoting Democrat leaders saying that the Democrat party is facing extinction. So is the Social Democrat Party in Europe.  https://rumble.com/vum20m-liberal-warns-democrats-facing-extinction.html

But don’t forget your friends who failed to do their research, who wouldn’t learn, who went along with repressive measures. Don’t forget doctors who went along with mask mandartes that anyone who passed basic college biology would know were silly. Don’t forget politicians and corporations who colluded with genocide.  For sure don’t go to hospitals who murdered people.

Oh dear — are still murdering people!  If you are in a prayer group, I’m sure you have prayer requests about people who went into the hospital now with unrelated problems who have been snatched into the covid ward, never to be seen again. It is time for everyone to do something. Do anything. Be free by choosing to do right.
