Everyone stay safe and warm Big day tomorrow I It’s official. Signed at 8:10am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule (aka... new name, META) where they can use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy”. Then go to your page, create a new post and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents
According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.
I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

God answered my prayer in a way that I never could have imagined. I am grateful, and learned all the more to let God be God!

Love and gratitude to these 4, without whom I would not be a mother. I didn't do it all right, but I did my best with what I had. Thank you for loving me as I am and making every day Mother's Day!

This week, our Key to Godly Freedom is "Be Consistent." In 1 Corinthians 15:58, Paul encourages consistency on both faith and works. The latter should be an outgrowth of the former, and remember that nothing we do for the Kingdom of God is without merit in God's sight.

Tonight on Keys to Godly Freedom, we studied Matthew 26:14-16 and 20-25, and saw how Jesus "Let the Father Handle It." We are not called to avenge ourselves. We are called to obedience! It's not a sign of weakness. It is more a manifestation of loyalty to Christ. We have work to do. Focus on that, and let the Father handle the rest.

Our Key to Godly Freedom tonight is "Fight Like Jehoshaphat!" The king of Judah trusted God with his battle (2 Chronicles 20) and we can too! Join on the F.I.S.H. Ministry Prayer Line tonight at 7:00 p.m. CT at 425-436-6341. pin 3360777 #
