And We’re Back.
After a successful move, the BerryBunch are back.
Steven D and Andy B give a preview of the next week of shows and exciting events coming up over the next few months.
Have you ever heard the words ‘drains’ and ‘radiators’ in relation to people? Simply put there are people who can drain the life away from us and there are people who can radiate heat towards us.
In our lives we need to always be cautious about who has access to our time because there will always be people who can happily waste it for us. We are simply exercising wisdom by being selective of how much access to us people have.
I used to think that light only ever travelled in a straight direction. When I was in school I discovered that light can actually bend around things too. It’s tricky stuff! More than that, it changes throughout the day.
From the perspective of, well, humanity, that change is great. Generally speaking you would wake up as the light gets brighter, and fall asleep as the darkness grows.
Unless you’re recording in a studio, then Light Can Be Tricky!
I like change. Actually, I love change! Change is the variety of life. However, while I really like it, I do sometimes forget to duck.
Ever bought a replacement car? You put some things in the boot (trunk), go to stand up and you crack your head on the boot – all because the new car doesn’t open as high as the last one.
Life can throw us a curve ball. You know, for ages, I had absolutely no clue what that meant. A ball can’t curve! Unless, of course, it does. And if you can spin that ball fast enough, and throw it far enough, you’ll see how it can curve through the air – just like a car drifting a round a corner: wheels one way the car going another with the drive wheels spinning.
And that is what life can do – it can leave us reeling.
Friends are great to have around us, but friends who know they can speak into our lives with things that we’re not necessarily going to want to hear are even better.
I’ve always ensured that I have a few people I trust with all sorts of details of my life, so when I got and ask them advice they already know lots about me, and they know they have permission to speak into my life things that I might not want to hear.
Sometimes we need to get a better perspective on what we can see. Because, what we see, may not be what we actually see!
A child can look down the road, and see the same cars as an adult. However, an adult has height and that makes the ability to judge the speed of those cars so much more accurate.
A different perspective can literally become a life saver!
Eating an apple is good for your teeth and gums, or so I was told. Unless, that is, you’re on blood thinners when eating an apple may be a little more challenging.
There is a solution though – cut it up!
Actually I’ve got one better recently as I eat an apple during the start of my weekday radio show because I now use a fork!
Ever had a splinter that came straight out didn’t cause any issues? No, me neither!
When we get a splinter we have a few choices. One is to try and ignore it and hope it comes out on its own. Or you could use a needle to try and help it out. Leave it too long and you could end up needing medical help due to infection. But there is another option!
It’s great when you can have a wonderful, comforting, memory to look back on. From the birth of your first child to a special holiday when everything just worked to relax and refresh you.
It’s a good thing to have those things to look back to and, sometimes, to hold on to through more difficult times.
When we think of God’s provision, we’re not talking about simply getting ‘stuff’! I can promise you that if God has asked you to do something that He will absolutely ensure you have al l you need to accomplish all He is asking you to do.
The trouble is that we tend, as humans, to interpret what God is saying through our own minds and experience.
Have you ever heard the phrase, Garbage In, Garbage Out? Simply put, we could also say you are what you eat. And the same thing applies to what we listen to, or read, or watch.
50 years ago, you’d have struggled really hard to see indecent images. It’s something you’d have literally had to work hard to seek out – and, you shouldn’t’ have been doing that by the way and shouldn’t ever do so! Just sayin…
I wonder what level of expertise you have in procrastination? I’m pretty sure there must be world records for things like that. But, what if we could spin that positively? And ask what level of expertise you have in keeping going?
Putting something off can make sense. But, it can also let that ‘thing’ grow into a much bigger project.
Rushing is a part of life. We might want an-always-relaxed life. But we will miss that bus; get on the wrong train; forget that anniversary; fail to attend a scheduled medical procedure.
That is just life! None of us are good enough to never face the stress of life!

Enjoy this video, best, on our website: https://www.berrybunch.org/Articles/683370/S06E006_God_Doesnt.aspx It can sometimes be challenging to accept even the most basic of truths of the Bible; of heaven and hell; of God’s nature. But there is one thing we should never have to question and that is whether God is in a rush or not. We can… Read more: S06E006, God Doesn’t Rush, Andy B 2 Minute Video
