Dinner and a Bible, aka the funny things my kids say in front of Jesus.

Just to understand likability; we use studies reflecting the Bible for this one.

The world is full of hate. No need to spread it around.

Wow

We discuss the bond of friendship and sometimes you need persistence to make things work.

Time is finite. Our brains are even more finite. For a God that lives (if that is the proper word) in a dimension we can’t even imagine (3D being in a 2D world example) then he would be beyond time. Now some would say I am fitting a narrative in my views. I’m only asking for a wider view. That states in the Bible, in several places, that our meager minds were told that “time” has nothing on God. In fact, he created all things and one of the things in our universe is, you guessed it, time.

A child can have a good sense of humility but still be a fun and loving kid.

Daily bread is the key to life. This bread being a two fold definition. 1) Bread keeps us alive and is more important than the forgiveness of sin 2) Bread also equals a daily relationship with Jesus.

The definition of the Trinity has caused wars. We break this down simply with no classical college papers, political notions, or anything but a casual look of what we have previously learned.

God is awesome and the scripture aligns with so many previously important events. The breath of God, He is with us, sins are forgiven unless you deny the Holy Spirit and Jesus.

Giving the power of God to Christens. Positive and negatives.

Understanding struggle, exuberance , luck then getting back to a proper base line of contentment as quick as possible is true happiness.

Jesus spoke about forgiveness to the point you no longer stress. That one should feel blessed instead, having the ability to focus on the right state of mind.

Three scriptures and a theme

One part of the Bible says you should be like the ant and another says don’t worry because the birds and lilies don’t work. Huh?

We look at the image of Jesus

Modern news makes me turn to prayer more and more.

We talk about the Sin and sacrifice

All we can be prepared for is the next life. The life with Jesus and the Father.

We discuss the hardship of people after Jesus died.

We discuss the resurrection and baptism. Church differences and staying away from arguments.

When hardship comes people can stay strong or break. Me, I like to close my eyes and take a nap until I can focus again.

One of the first signs of life is also a calming process that in many memory books, increases creativity and remembering study facts.

John, the Disciple Jesus loved, had great advice on how to be happier.

We discuss the goofy world of marketing and how most people don’t think they are impacted but they are. About 75% of the time.

Finding the theme

We discuss the aspect of growing up happy and what that means.

Power is what Satan uses for people to fall for his traps.

What does it mean to be Holy. To be set apart. To be Jesus like?

We talk about life and how it has valleys. Jesus experienced the same and what he did is a good road map of what we should do.

Today was about choices. God does allow Satan to wander near us but he expects us to refrain and reject.

Even Jesus had a different happiness than his disciples

We discuss three scriptures and how timeless they are.

Power and being on top is enticing but Satan chose a different path to it. Jesus also and he was the only and better way.

The beatitudes are misread due to the weakness of our English usage of certain words. Let’s look…

The church should not give more importance to the promises of money versus the promises of good hearts and deeds.

Gloomy days were part of society of the gentile and the poor. A prediction of this being lifters was a breath of fresh air.

Connection with other people, not the world, makes humans happier.

Both ends of the spectrum are wrong. Emotional communication are more memorable than the actual Word or intent of helping minority groups.

Discuss how the Chosen become an invitation.

We talk about how hard it is to do the right things. It’s really hard at times.

Jesus had an interesting birth but first and foremost he was a unifier.

Being rich has difficulty in the area of salvation. Making promises to improve lives and help families. Still, it’s good to remember even if we don’t win the lottery.

There is a wonderful happy place called Finland and they follow biblical principles.

What will the earth do when 12 Billion people live on it? If we survive the conflicts today, how do we prevent war, pestilence, and famine?

Why the Catholic Church is imperfect but that doesn’t mean we should leave it.

The kids are older and more crass but I hope you can understand…teens and preteens are just, well not mature adults :)

We talk to the happenings at the Chicago Aquarium. Parthogenesis is now a well known occurrence in nature.

Ian and Remy are different in many ways. They are the same in one, happiness sometimes eludes them.

God doesn’t make prophetic targets easy. Then it wouldn’t be a miracle. Still, it’s so hard it’s almost insulting. I’ll save you when pigs fly sounds as negative as when a virgin gives birth.

We talk about what God wants. How happy is not a state but only a road with potholes and imperfections.
