Sunday School was part of many children's lives. In the early ‘60s, one in seven children under 14 went every Sunday to listen to Bible stories, talk about God and learn Christian values. We put on our best clothes and headed off to join our friends in fellowship and safety. And in a place of love.
Sunday school began in the 18th century, when Englishman Robert Raikes created the idea of Sunday school for child workers of the Industrial Revolution. It was to give basic literary education to the children that worked in the mills and the factories and the mines, because the only day they had off work was Sunday. They wanted these children to read the Bible, but before they could read the Bible, they had to teach them how to read. So they created Sunday School.

To help “flatten the curve,” New Zealand’s Ministry of Health has decided to allow doctors to murder all Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) patients deemed unlikely to survive.
A new euthanasia law expands the criteria for receiving a lethal injection to those who test “positive” for the Fauci Flu with a fraudulent PCR test.
Reports indicate that people who are “suffering unbearably” from the “consequences” of covid are also now eligible for a lethal injection.
When asked for clarity about the new law, which came into effect last month, the New Zealand government stated that “in some circumstances, a person with Covid-19 may be eligible for assisted dying.”

I love the Bee. Babylon Bee is just so on the money every single time..... this is 30 odd minutes that you will not regret investing.
Babylon Bee is a great site for satire and so much of the genius is down to Ethan Nicolle.
I have no idea why they " let him go " but such is the world these days. It is hard to understand anything. That being said, here is some afternoon entertainment for you all.
I read on social media today about a woman mourning the passing of her dog. I, of all people, know the pain associated with the loss of our fur babies. She expressed deep sadness at having to put her darling down. But this is where it just gets sinister, stupid and so distressing.
She had taken her " darling " to the vet to get tested for Covid and the test was positive. So she told the vet to kill her " beloved because it was a life or death situation for mommy "
God, give me strength to endure this insanity! This moronic hysteria!
While NZ Pastor Carl Bromley was out his Christchurch home was burgled. You will never guess who it was that broke into his home, messed it up and stole from him.

We seem to have a pandemic of the vaccinated since official data reveals “91% of covid-19 deaths have been among the fully vaccinated since August.” Still, health officials act as if the jab is the answer (along with masks and lockdowns) when it is now the cause of our health problems.
Do you miss John Wayne or Clint Eastwood riding into town and saving the day? Remember when the good guys won and the baddies lost and you would cheer at the end of the movie and consider it pocket money well spent?
Do you remember when going to a movie was fun and you didn't even realise that you had learned something while eating jaffas and hanging out with your mates? Remember that?

What do I say? My son trapped in a room in a quarantine hotel in New Zealand and saying " Hopefully I will be free tomorrow" Because he came to see me in Australia and wants to go home and he was hoping to be free tomorrow and allowed to go home.

The price of energy from all sources conventional is exploding globally. Far from accidental, it is a well-orchestrated plan to collapse the industrial world economy that has already been weakened dramatically by almost two years of ridiculous covid quarantine and related measures.
