I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
I had started a Video Blog last year. I ended up not doing any thing this year in that vain.
Well it may be a good thing. I am retyping my first three episodes and will be working on more this next week. I am gathering items to help me make the videos a little more professional looking. I purchased a switcher that allows me to hook up a microphone. Got a few cables and need to find out if I need more.
Please stay tuned. I was not too happy with my inaugural episode. Sound was horrible due to buzzing from my camera and its microphone. Then I used the camera that is built into my MacBook. They don't look all that good but I did like them better
In the meantime, please enjoy my weekly post on "Little gods". It is about my little gods and trying to understand the meaning behind some having much freedom and others are new in the faith (even if they are not) that do not have the same freedoms.

But when sharing the eighth of the beatitudes—a series of promises Jesus made about God’s Kingdom—Jesus offered some hope:
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:10 NIV
Leading up to this verse, Jesus had spoken unexpected blessings over an unlikely group: the poor in spirit, those who were mourning, the meek, those craving righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers. Finally, He offered a blessing to the persecuted.
Jesus elaborated:
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
