2 year old sit through the sermon

The snacks and toys are tricky. I try to give snacks and toys and make them take forever to eat and play with. 


For example, corn flakes or some other form of cereal. I won't give the whole thing. I will give one. Then when she is done, then another one. Sometimes I hide the next one in the palm of one of my hands and she has to guess which hand. I do this to prevent spilling and to keep her occupied.


As for toys, same thing. Never all out at once. Always one character and when she is bored, then the next character comes out which is some 10 minutes later.. and only when she is done playing does the next one come up, so not every 10 mins. It depends on her ability to entertain herself. And I have like 10 characters or objects waiting. And that's after 20 mins of eating cereals so I rarely finish them. And those toys she doesn't see anywhere else other than during sermons so she's unfamiliar with them.

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.

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, ...

Racism and all

Racism is real. Was hit so hard lately that I changed both my profile pic and cover photo on Facebook. I can't do business or ministry on social media without hiding my face and race, unfortunately... Even when I wrote a book, I didn't put my picture and definitely did not disclose my ethnicity, nationality or even age. Given a choice, I would even hide the fact that I am a woman and go by an alias or my last name, like J K Rowling.  And if my grammar was incorrect in parts of my speech or posts... That's a giveaway.

Oreo Method: Delegating to Kids

Two ways to do it -- I call this the Oreo Method: you either eat the cookies or the cream: Cookie Method If you aren't in a hurry that day, the kids routinely do the tasks they're worst at until they 'graduate' from doing that task -- you're happy with the standards they're achieving for that task. This can go on for months. Cream Method Or when you're in a hurry: the other way around -- the kids do the chores they're the best at and the house gets put in order quickly.
