Lockdown fun

 Q: Things to do stuck at home that we’ve never done before?


A: Depends on what you want to achieve. We’ve been in lockdown since 5 August last year and only started going out end of March this year. So we’ve celebrated quite a few birthdays at home. 


Plenty of stuff to do. Our lockdown Birthday tradition includes a bubble ball bath if there’s such a term — bubble bath with pit balls. 


If it’s summer where you are, there’s plenty of outdoor fun. There’s the blow up pool, with super cool floaters with sprinkles or you can make your own water sprinklers. So much fun. Go all out.


Lately, we’ve been feeding the cockatoos and colorful birds at 6pm in the evenings. They also feed early in the mornings but the kids can’t get up on time. I have learned what different species of birds love eating — the colorful birds love fruits while the cockatoos love bread. The magpies eat about anything but they’re too afraid of the cockatoos to come near. I know it’s feeding time when I hear pterodactyls screaming from the rooftops. Cockatoos are really loud.


If indoors, we run a restaurant or cafe with real but different cuisines depending on which real life cafe you want to go to but can’t because of the lockdown — Google Images the menu, and photo reviews to choose our order from that particular restaurant or breakfast cafe and cook it up. Ordering has to be a few days in advance so ingredients get delivered on time. Yes, we’ve signed up for free online delivery for groceries above a small amount. So we end up going to healthy breakfast places — smoothie bowls are so healthy and fun and there are some super cute smoothie bowls on Google Images to compete with. We also love baking, etc. My daughter wants to be a hotel manager so she loves fine dining and decorating the dining room to look like a hotel. She also does Room Service. Haven’t tried the in house laundry yet. It’s free. 


Did I mention the masseuse? They use their feet…. I’ve yet to draw footprints on a t-shirt for them to step on.

Previously "forced" to get baptized and speak in tongues?

Get baptized again. Nothing wrong with that. At least this time, it's from your heart. You don't HAVE to speak in tongues immediately. But some people learn by following others first, that's possible, not always the case. Some just get it without anyone teaching them. But no, it's not mocking to teach it. Everyone is different, that's all. But the question now is whether you want to learn to speak in tongues or not. I believe God created tongues for us to use, and He had a reason for it. Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Passover

Tell them about how Easter started — the goddess Eostre, the goddess of spring and fertility, and how it represents Easter eggs and bunnies and why we don’t celebrate it.  And that we celebrate Passover with lambs because Jesus is the Lamb of God and celebrated the Passover. And how Passover was taken away because the Jews were blamed for killing Jesus so everything Jewish was removed by Constantine - including all the other important feasts we were supposed to celebrate. Although the Apostle Paul himself celebrated the Passover (1 Cor 5:6-8), and said Christ is our Passover, asking us to “Keep the Feast of the Passover”. The rest of the early church kept the Passover. So we celebrate the Passover with Jesus as the Lamb, and the afikoman that was hidden signifies Jesus body that was broken because it was the afikoman that Jesus took and said, “this is my body that was broken..”. It was ‘after the feast’ that he ‘took the bread’. That bread is called the afikoman — the last bread af...
