Last minute homemade celebrations

Get the kids to rehearse for a song plus dance. Add in one or two solo items on the piano or some other instrument, or just a solo song or duet here and there or maybe just play some music and perform the dance.


1 hour before, get everyone dressed in either real fancy outfits or costumes for a family photo and do up a really good backdrop for that amazing photoshoot. Worse come to worse, make it a green screen and good lighting


About the cake, I advise buying 8 good chocolate mudcakes and spending 2 hours to decorate them. Because it will take about 4 hours for the icing to firm up on the cake before you place fondant on it or buttercream icing. Or any other icing. So no time to bake because it will be hot and you need to wait an hour for it to cool down before you can place the base layer of icing.


Here is a home-bake hack: use a small cake mold or circular tool to cut out a small cake in the middle of the large cake so you get two cakes, if that makes sense. Put something inside the cavity of the cake like M&M's or his favourite snack like three Forero Rochers or a small present like a ring or a $100 note or giftcard or something. 


Another bake hack: when you buy cakes to stack up, if you want a tall looking cake like you see on Instagram, one of those will be a combination of 2 normal cakes to get the height of one tier in a tiered combination OR 3 cakes if it's a tower cake like you see on Insta.


And the last bake at home hack: if you're baking at home, always add a teaspoon of gelatin so it comes out moist and not dry. If you're choosing to do a chocolate cake mix, add in a packet of chocolate chips.

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...
