I was notified that Zach Bauer just posted a video. In his video he mentioned that we need persecution, fellowship, and several other things. One of the things he mentioned was that he was speaking at the conference in the link and that he feels we need persecution to draw together and put us in fellowship. I pray that everyone will be encouraged this sabbath.

I am learning russian enough to get confused with some letters that are written the same but said very differently.
Here is an example.
H - English/Н Russian
-pronounced like English N
N English/И - Russian
-looks so similar that I often look twice, pronounced like long E in English
R English/Я - Russian
-again, looks so similar I look twice. I don't get so confused with this one as much anymore.
Here are some interesting notes.
In Hebrew, the word for beard and elder is zakön. In russian there is a word that is pronounced the same but means law.

So I messaged some friends to see how many unjabbed people they know and out of 6 people only 2 knew anyone. Totaling 4 unjabbed people. I have yet to meet anyone in the wild who is unjabbed in my area. Whats been your experience?

This may seem like a news post, and maybe it is. It has obviously been a while since this group has had any interaction, but I have some friends in China who also observe Torah who have not joined the site because they are afraid for security reasons. They have been giving me some updates on what is going on there and I would like us to remember to pray for the people of China as much as possible because 1. There is a huge revival happening and it can only continue if there is prayer,
2. The people of China are very upset with how covid has gone for the past couple years and are tired of the lockdowns. There is a lot of fighting and protests with the Chinese government resorting to whatever they can find to get people to stop. They're closing down social media accounts, closing down the internet to prevent people from accessing things, blocking any kind of sharing of information and many other things that they can find.
3. While life for money of us has returned to normal there are those in other countries who are under the oppression of the kings of this world, trying to reach the nations of the world, and being stopped by the enemy.

I have been doing handyman work and working only 4 days out of the week. The other two of the days that we are allowed to work, I have been working on my vehicle, working on the house, doing general housekeeping, operating my second business, visiting with friends, and visiting stores and other places that are farther away and require a little more time to visit. I am going to start looking at getting Friday off instead of Wednesday so I can head out and do some primitive living practice over Friday evening and shabbat. If I can't do that, I will be trying to do that wednesdays.
