Online Videos Plus
VIDEOS
Recently I asked for prayers about the Online Core.
It has three parts.
One part is the online videos.
I will give a link to those at the end of this message.
There are many short videos on that new wiki.
More will be added in the future.
I am not pleased with the look of the wiki.
I hope that later I will hire someone improve the look of all my wikis.
This is just a central hub to offer links to all of them
Most people that will view the online views will get a link in an email or on a website.
Most people will never see this wiki.
But some will want to explore all the online videos from this hub.
The other two parts are a core website for Pie Bridges.
It is mentioned in the online video.
That is a fairly basic unit.
I have been working many hours and it has not come together yet.
I want to blend text, online video and streaming audio.
My three passions are education, media and missions.
Here is a place to demonstrate some of each in a secular setting for income.
Please pray for the completions soon.
Then the third part is a way for those who visit the site to opt into email newsletters.
There will be a selection of email newsletters.
I have the outline for these but need quality time in the creativity zone.
SHEBAA
For months Shebaa has needed to administer 4 shots to herself daily.
These need to come at certain times.
THANKFULLY her lung has fully recovered.
Other major troubles have been reversed.
But yesterday there was an incident.
She set her alarm to wake up to take a shot.
She was not fully awake.
She began to prepare a shot.
The bottle dropped.
It hit the floor and broke.
Part of the broken glass bounced up and cut her leg.
It was a small cut.
The paramedics came.
They treated her.
It was not bad enough to take her to the hospital.
She is talking with the doctors about getting into a nursing home.
That will insure she gets her medications on time and not hurt herself.
This is the first serious mention of this option.
May the will of the Lord Jesus Christ be done.
BERRY
Recently Berry has learned that Shebaa filed for divorce.
He seems to be getting nervous.
He depends on her emotionally.
He does not seem to recognize the many troubles he has caused her.
He seems to not recall the three times he almost killed her when off his meds.
He is living in a homeless shelter.
There he is required to take his psyche medications twice a day.
Pray for him to adjust to the reality of the coming divorce.
May God protect Shebaa and me from his terrible temper.
Shebaa calls me her big brother to others.
I consider her like I would a blood sister.
There is nothing romantic or sexual between us.
At first Berry said he thought we were having sex.
He has seen the nature of our friendly relationship since then.
Thankfully now Berry has a good job as a mechanic at a used car lot.
Pray that he do well there and not loose that job.
REPORTS
Today I hope to make much progress on crafting a template for the reports.
I need a basic weekly report about the finances for Shebaa and me.
I have attempted many times to do this but hit the wall repeatedly.
May God guide my thoughts and actions.
There are generous donors that want to see these so they can give with confidence.

Borderline Burn Out
I have been under much stress for a long time.
For nearly two years there have been financial troubles.
God has met my needs right on time repeatedly.
I know that it only takes a mustard seed of faith.
Very little faith in Jesus Christ activates much grace.
Each time His provision has been different.
Thankfully God has answered many prayers.
There is a very usable flow chart to follow.
The needed projects and tasks are coming into order.
There has been much progress on many projects.
Amidst this storm the inner resources are frail.
Unlike all previous times my motivation is low.
It feels like I am brushing against burn out.
I have gotten plenty of sleep, food and exercise.
But sometimes I do not want to pray, work or take the next step.
I do not want to fight the good fight or run with patience the race.
I have wanted to crawl into a hole and hibernate for a century.
I need God to reach deep inside my soul and make the needed changes.
May He grant me strength and courage for the difficult days ahead.
May God send to me the encouragement that I need.
I have the gift of encouragement and enjoy encouraging others.
I need God to send people like me into my life.
I have not had a vacation in many years.
Getting away from computers, phones and bills will do my heart good.
After this crisis has past I hope to spend a few days very close to nature.
THANKS for your prayers.
John 7:46 PM
