It’s Sunday - What did you listen to?

[Ernie]

Hang on….are Pilgrim services or messages being regularly posted to the internet? Have they moved that far on the internet issue?

It's a wild ride, isn't it!

Pilgrim has been doing this since 2015.

I loved our pastors message this morning from Galatians 4. He talked about what it means to him to be a pastor. He took Alistair Begg’s place after his 42 years of being pastor there. We are finding that we love his heart.

i haven’t looked recently, tho.
one sad thing (for me) is, the two closest churches dropped Mennonite from their names.
i don’t know why.

Some churches that lean more evangelical have done so to avoid being associated with the ultra-liberal Mennonite groups.

possibly. i expect the MCUSA church on the nearby state college campus is ultra-liberal. from political flags+banners displayed. a large Chicago satellite campus. It seems too far away to be a factor here. Maybe not.

(note time stamp)

don’t confuse forum presence with being alert and functioning. sleep is irregular, no time is off-limits. sorry to say.
i miss the truly late night MD crowd. good folks in the wee hours.

When i’m with my family, their Church has Saturday afternoon mass and a late Sunday mass at 11am.

If 10:30 and 10:35 are too much earlier than 11, there's adult basketball at 6:30pm Fridays.

I'm not a morning person either, but somehow I can find my way there by 7:45 or 8:30ish depending on which Sunday it is. Coffee helps.

Look how normal you are! Revisit in 30 years.

Maybe you should ask them. The answers might surprise you.

i used to think about asking.
It was all over before i knew anything about it.

i appreciate the suggestions. i hadn’t been thinking about it. i will think about it and ask some questions.
esp now that daylight is longer. that helps a lot.

Shocker: (for me)

i used to be a morning person, our children hated it. Productive. Maybe an over achiever. i enjoyed it. ..

Sometime after February, my blood sugar tests have been very high (200+) .. i’ve not had a period like this since my 2007 diagnosis.
This includes adding stair-climbing as often as i can. i’ve been alarmed. i had some lab work, results were high, as i expected; my doctor’s PA messaged right away, “what’s going on?!” No appointment scheduled until August.

She changed my -MEDICATION-
uhhh. blood sugars droppng right away, still high for me, but much better ..

but .. the morning sluggishness impairment (that lasts until 3pm) .. seems lifted. what?!!

i don’t feel drugged. it doesn’t feel like caffeine. no jitters. it feels normal, as i recall normal.
will it last? i hope so.

bizarre. in a good way. a great way. i-hope-it-lasts.

i guess i got their attention about the meds.

Thanks be to God for this change!

I was sent this, very interesting- listened early morning. Pretty deep. Lots of ads to “skip”

I “used to be” a fan. I was sent this by someone who gets demonically attacked in stronger ways than the average Christian- I’ve known of this by others- it’s difficult for them to convey it in such a way that it doesn’t make them seem they’re imagining things but having been close to somebody these I know I can trust their experiences are real.
