      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

      I think one of the main impotences in any relationship is focusing on a third thing.
      It's not focusing on one person or the other, which can be really weird and ego inflating, but on the building and maintenance of something else. Whether it's physical or mental, it's something the people in a relationship can look back on and see what the relationship is capable of accomplishing through sustained endeavorence.
      You and your dad can look back on your deck and see what both of you were able to do. And when the deck has aged and could use maintenance, you both can work on it again as you mainten your relationship... even if your dad might be older and slower than he used to be. He can still be there to keep you company, and help in whatever way you need.
      And if you have kids, you can share that same maintenance in the future... Or a different one, as each relationship can have their own third thing to focus on.

    I genuinely teared up when you and your mum decided to skip the museums and build stuff together. Not when you met at the airport for the first time in 2 years. When you started ripping sh*t out. Tell me I'm not weird with my emotions, please? 🤔😂

    This reminds me so much of when my dad came to town a few years ago. We had all these plans to go out and see stuff around town. What did he want to do? Help me demo a couple closets in my new house so we could build... well... what turned out to be a bigger closet. But it was still the most fun I'd had with my dad up to that point.

    Also, I love how Scraps and her…auntie (?) dog got on so well!

      This video was very bittersweet for me too, but it felt nice seeing someone else reunite with their mother, and I get to experience that high vicariously. You can really tell from those tight hugs, their eagerness to work on a project together, and the playfulness between, that they share a deep wonderful love. I wish Simone and her mother every happiness.

      Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️
      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
      JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
      Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

I stopped my show so I could find your latest video and tell you that I love your passion for failure. It is refreshing. As someone who can relate to your need for perfection during your school years and your later realization of how unhealthy such unrealistic self expectations are, I admire your courage in modeling gracious and unashamed failure and the humility and hilarity it offers to the next generation. Keep up the good (bad) work! ❤
