I had a very poor appetite for days, but when Butterflyl1on suggested pork meat inside egusi soup or ewedu, my saliva dribbled like a baby. Sent the recipe !
The thought of having pork inside soup alone is enough to kill my appetite. Urgghh.

Stop imagining "fat" whenever you mention pork. That is a wrong imagination. Pork is not blobs of fat. It's very gentle on the eyes and delicious. Cut the right parts and cook with them (if you are particular about its fatty content).

It tastes even better if you ensure garlic is included when steaming it. Ain't no meat like pork girl

Yes, very much. But i can't help it since i can't walk or take a bus to the UK from Nigeria.

The first time i took apartment two floors up, i never went close to the windows. It took a while to look out through the windows.

Funny, satan used that fear to threaten me in my dreams until i took charge of it. I always saw myself in very precarious positions upon a tree of almost falling into a deep pit. When i knew it was my fear of height which was being used against me, i held it down, those pattern of dreams ceased.

I can go up 20floors, but won't look out the window. And, i'll tell myself that i am on ground floor, and i'll believe it.

Jesus is never busy, to not paying you or anyone for that matter, a visit

You didnt notice Jesus turn up?
He is standing at the door, knocking and calling,
but you're too wrapped up in yourself
you dont/cant hear His voice to open the door for Him to come in and be with you
Why can’t Jesus just take a deep breath and speak loudly? This works for me when people can’t hear me. undecided

Got this from a former Yogist. All the Yoga Sages are half snakes half humans.

Yoga to Hindus is what the Gospel is to Christians. It’s the very heart of Hinduism. It offers them a way to escape this world. It promises to end their endless sufferings – the everlasting cycle of reincarnation...........

A lot of what is contained in that article is beyond belief.

Taking deep breaths and speaking loudly works for Jesus too

I've just remembered so many episodes, whilst growing up, of my Mum and every one else close by joining in, calling out my name whilst I am watching TV in the living room
Unbeknownst to me, my Mum and the others, have been shouting at the top of their voices trying to get my attention
but because I was so engrossed in enjoying whatever programe I am watching on the TV at the time
I didnt have a scooby doo idea, they all, literally have been screaming their heads off at me, to get my attention
It usually, only is, when I've momentarily looked away from the TV, that I become aware that Mum and others, have all along for a very good couple of minutes been trying to get through to me
This was a regular happening thing between them and I then

Maybe when people look away from what's occupying them and turn to face Jesus,
then they'll realise that, Jesus, all along had been speaking loudly
but they werent in the frame of mind to notice and become aware He all along has been doing this

The sheep story comes to mind here. hmm. The thing is he doesn't have a breaktime for this knocking and calling he's been doing for ages. 1 lost sheep is way important that 99 that are safe at pasture, sheepfold to him.

"come unto me, all ye that are yoked and heavy-laden i will give you rest"

Lol, Dave.
Good morning.

But I'm not a Christian anymore, my dear.
I have no religion to lay claim to.
I do not consider the Bible as the word of God.

It does not make sense to me that Paul's words now equal the word of God.

I think that the word of God is in the hearts of all men.
It is living, and it is flowing....
You just need to tap into that consciousness and do exploits
.

You talked about contemporary folks having access to the president....

Well, Dave, let's just say that some folks with specific assignments actually have the president's personal line. When they call, he listens, when they need to meet, he makes it happen, no matter what.

My understanding is that there is more to God, the divine if you may, than meets even the most enlightened of eyes.

Sometimes, people experience an aspect or some aspects of God...
This is dependent on what you are here to do...

I know what mine is....

Now the good thing is, wherever you are at, however you are...God has his special ways of reaching you, because you are part of him. How he reveals himself to you would be different, or rather, might be different from how he does to me.

In the end, we are on seemingly different paths to achieving our truest, realest nature - GodHood.

Used to be a Christian too but dropped it off. The bolded expresses just how I look at this word of God thing. Consciousness, living and ever flowing is the word of God not the dead letters of a book. Those words in a book was God's word for David, for Paul, for John. It came to them fresh. I do not read that Abraham read a bible or Moses too. So also every man must hear God for himself. I too carry the word of my own God within. God's word to me is my consciousness. Once I am dead it ends. That's why it's called the living word of God.

OMG It’s not good to jump to conclusions. I read your post mid way and just assumed that you were suggesting that Jesus was the one watching TV and we should all join voices and scream louder to get his attention. ***covers face***
