Stop by and give IceSkatingSugarCube a review and answer this question:

COVID-19 has been rampant. What, if anything, have you done for summer vacation?"


I spent my summer vacation doing what I like to do best: learning. Work to me is a vacation because I escape the mundane nonsense that way. Vacations would be boring to me. So I prefer to just continue working. I relax more when I'm busy working.

Prompt: "No matter where you stand on the doctrine of the end times, you have to agree that no matter what, with each day we get older, we are one day closer to meeting Jesus face to face. What steps do you personally take to prepare for that meeting?"

I spend every day praying for and preparing for that meeting. My preparations include Bible study, teaching others, seminary, and more.

With the help of local Maasai Mama's we will be guided through a number of traditional Swahili recipes to prepare your own lunch. We will learn how the local Mama's prepare food at home using traditional cooking equipment and methods. We will learn some Swahili words for different foods and be able to get hands-on help to prepare each dish.

We will learn about how Maasai build their homes and how traditional Maasai homes are set up in a "boma".
We will see inside the homes and how they live.

We will learn how Maasai create their own beaded jewellery and go away from the workshop with your very own bracelet.

Vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options can be catered for in the recipes. We're cooking our dinner and learning how to make beaded jewelry together. How cool is that?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

I think I might set this one out. My internet is down today and I am using another computer to do my work. I'm behind schedule.


"Prompt: “There have been times in my life, when I now realize I over reacted to a situation. Many of these times were triggered by feeling controlled.”
Shirley Rose
What do you think about overreactions, and is the feeling of being controlled the only trigger for overreactions?"

I think overreactions are typically because the person is responding to something that happened in the past. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between fantasy and reality. It has no concept of time. So an event today that reminds it of an event from the past, gets responded to as the past event.
