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.

Jesus Christ not only fits the description of the suffering servant who paid the ultimate price to buy His people back, redeem them, and set them free—He ...
“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge...
