I originally started this channel to meet and fellowship with other believers in the faith ~ desiring to study the scriptures and apocryphal texts.
I have done so with a few of you and have been blessed by our time together.
Through the years I've added a few personal videos allowing viewers a glimpse into my private life.
As of a couple years ago I found a new hobby~painting & decoupaging shells~ I currently sell them on Etsy ~

I am well aware that the content of this channel has become quite the mix of subject matter. Thank you to those who have been with me from the beginning & have endured my inconsistent & sporadic posts. 😁
⚠️ New subscribers ~ consider yourself warned & thank you for subscribing!
For those of you who would like a better understanding of how Jesus defines salvation through "belief in Him", please pray and read carefully John chapters 14 through 17.

Probity is the absolute, confirmed integrity, uprightness, and honesty of a person or process. It implies tried-and-proven moral character, often used in professional, legal, or governmental contexts to mean adhering to the highest ethical standards. It signifies complete decency and trustworthiness, ensuring fairness and accountability in actions.
☝🏼 This is what is being destroyed in every aspect of today's society and especially pushed by the therapist and social media platforms propagating this agenda of estrangement. Everything about this agenda of going no contact with family or labeling parents as toxic is exactly what this text means and is coming to fruition in this prophecy given to Baruch about the time just before God's judgment. Probity doesn't mean that the person or process is perfect but it means that they have proven themselves to be trustworthy in honorable in action over a course of time. Again nothing is perfect. That this narrative being pushed to relabel everything and rename everything and use the proper language or you're going to offend somebody, is absolutely ridiculous and has no healing properties whatsoever. It causes a dramatic increase in victim mentality which in turn causes a society that lacks apathy. Why? Because they are the victim so they are Not looking to have empathy on others but rather looking for ways for others to have empathy towards them.

Sharing some thoughts on estrangement/ going no contact ~
I grew up in a healthy environment and we were middle class. My family wasn't perfect but they did their best with the tools they had. My mom came from a mother who lost her own mother at the age of 11 to a brain aneurysm. She was raised in her teen years by a stepmother who never had a mom. She never received hugs or "I love to you"s. As a result of this she showed very Little love and affection towards my mother. And in return my mom was not as affectionate as some moms But she showed her love in other ways. I on the other hand was born with tons of affection bursting in my heart and I remember from a very young age always wanted to give everybody hugs and kisses and I love yous all day long. That's just the way I was wired from birth. So naturally as I was growing up, I wondered why my mom wasn't wired the same. But then I learned through time that we are all wired differently and we all have different life experiences. That's where Grace comes in. That's where growth comes in. As we reflect on the love and the giving that others have done instead of the wrongs or their mishaps, it helps us grow. Dwelling on bad things is what stunts our growth and allows us to stay stuck as a victim. If I wanted to look at your flaws, trust me I'm sure I could find many. Everybody has them. It's when we overlook flaws and choose to love that we grow spiritually and in strength of character. It helps us mature to deal with life's little imperfections and mishaps. It gives us resolve to accomplish and work through any issues that may arise later in life. It gives us the resilience to work through difficulties and character flaws in others.
Had I chosen to go no contact with every person that made me feel uncomfortable or inferior to themselves in my family, every person that hurt me deeply, then my children would have missed out on decades of love and memories with cousins, aunt and uncles and grandparents. I chose to attend family functions and holidays, birthdays and vacations even when it was uncomfortable so that my kids could flourish and have fun. So that they could build relationships with family members and acquire life-lasting memories. I chose to be uncomfortable so that my children could have fun. And I'm so glad I did. Is there a time that we should step back and reflect when someone has hurt us? absolutely. But to go no contact is ridiculous and immature. There were times that I had to step back from family and separate myself for a few days to a few months, but I never had to tell them that I was doing so. I didn't need to make them feel bad in order to lift myself up. I didn't need to make them apologize for behavior that they didn't really understand they had done. I chose to rise above it. I chose to love. I chose to extend Grace. And I am better for it.

So very true ~
Luke 6:45
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh."
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is TRUE, whatever is NOBLE, whatever is right, whatever is PURE, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think upon these things."
