 Betty Greene npq is finally getting into her knew Grumman duck that is what it was called for some reason. So there were a lot of people in Mexico that didn't think women ould fly a plane over the Andes mountains because those mountains were very dangerous but she did it on her second flight. In that same plane she got across them with this man and Cameron Townsend you might have heard of him he started some type of mission in Mexico or somewhere I have to read his book after I am done with betty Greene.

 Betty Greene is known in the land of Mexico a bit down in South America and the first thing she seemed to see was that when we she met the group they met in this absolutely lavish hotel and it seemed interesting but when they asked where what types of stuff she wanted to see she said everything that first day she saw many castles and important building the next day though she met this person called Jhon and he knew how to fly so they became friends. After a while she went to a small village up in the mountains and worked there with a team.

 Okay, betty Green today he knows has started this nonprofit organization called camf. Theire were four people in this one was betty green the other were two boys and one other girl betty was the treasure and it seemed she did most of the work but she said she put it on and did it all chefrull my guesses where that came was this organization for helping people she worked six days a weak and something like eight hoiurse a daywhile she was doing all this the battle of the bulge happened in world war two and after Christmas she threw herself back into her work.

 So I am going to take a day off the biographies and tell you about this grueling thirty-three-mile bike trip we did with these people. All of these people are like professional bikers one he raced two others just liked doing stuff like that and the other two one was you know like me and my brother but the other one he liked hunting snd fishing and he biked over a hundred miles in one day. His longest in a week is three hundred so we started out and after a while, our backs started getting sore because you have to bend over the hand bars but if you stand up it worked just as good as getting off the bike so we could keep going. We biked the Kal haven bike trail from Kalamazoo all the way to Lake Michigan in the south haven that is one long bike trip and I only had to go to the bathroom once on the way which is kinda surprising because it was a three-hour bike ride At the end lets just say we were happy to stop and get off our bikes.

 The first questions on the Heidelberg catechism the first question is what is your only comfort in life and death,  we are talking about the question, not the answer only means what is consolation what is making you calm for death. The answer starts you may know parts of it well you have to go to eclesastites and it says their it was all vain under the sun. As many think Solomon might have written this if he did I could understand how he said everything under the sun is vain he had more opportunity and riches than America has in for Knox so e could have tested all the different ways and he found all of them vain.

By now they Nazified the church. They made everything as the nazis wanted it this person called bishop Heckel wanted everyone to sign their name onto this paper telling them that and threatening them to have their german names gotten if of so they weren't german and he met with this bishop Heckel in private and he forcefully tried to assert his beliefs to the actual real-life Christian church he would not join the church that they had made appointing officers and they just messed everything up completely destroying the reason to come to church because you would just hear stuff about the nazis.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is now in the midst of it the nazis have completely taken over Hitler the dictator and the first thing he started was whining about the jews he started segregating them from other people. If they were pastors they were told to leave. He made almost everyone hate the jews Dietrich and his other pastor friends still kept a calm head about it though which was good anby d hen Hitler started making military forces bigger which he technically wasn't allowed to do but everyone had military training because before this all citizens were given military training so if they went to war there small army could be backed up buy all the people that got trained.

We are going to take a rest on betty Greene today so Dietrich Bonhoeffer is the main event today he was the person that would even pull the trigger on the future himself he was actually also a pastor he tough theology did many things in Germany. When he was young inflation was very high. It took about four billion marks to buy a loaf of bread that was very serious indeed he went on vacation to Rome like once that was where he actually started researching the church like the meaning of the church and what it supposed to do.

 For my biography, today betty green is still the main character and she is now going to the meeting place which is this massive house that's is really old but she met like the founder or someone like that. The people that rent out that mansion rent it for super cheap because they saw how good the mission is up don't ask me why they didn't sell it to them it may be cheaper to rent it but I think it would be cheaper over a long length of time by just buying it so actually betty became a pilot for them because they were at war she couldn't fly then though.

 For sermon Sunday today I am going to talk bout Zachariah's sixth-night vision. This vision starts with this flying scroll and the first thing you notice about this scroll is its size even though it is unrolled it is 20 cubits long and ten cubits high. That is one big scroll what is written are on one side are the people that swear by god falsely. The next one is the people that steal that were on the other side. What this means is that this big scroll will sojourn in the house of the people that swear falsely and the thieves. It will go into their house and stay there and level that house to nothingness every brick will be broken every thatch torn apart.

 Betty greene chapter 3. now she is in a college for nurses or doctors probably both the thing is she becomes a nurse or doctor I know because I read the back of the book but now she absolutely hated nursing and things like that. It was a swirl of checking vital sines and making beds emptying dishpans and she wanted to drop out of the school but her mom told her that she had two finish the quarter than she could see if she wanted to or not you know go ahead and finish it all and become or nurse or not otherwise her schooling was normal.

 Betty Greene from her youth loved plains she was a bomber pilot in world war 2. Though many people didn't like thinking about women pilots back then when she was on a bombing test the instructor took a nap right in the middle of everything. She was quite a good flyer you could say she was more modern than whoever flew the spirit of saint Louise which I think wasn't that that one pilots that girl pilot she was really good she flew over the ocean I forgot her name now amelia Earhart their it is. This was after she flew across the ocean.

 Dietrich Bonhoeffer was on the wrong side but eventually came right. He lived in berlin in world war 2 he was with the german underground guerrilla he even conspired to kill the fuhur himself if it came to pulling the trigger. When he was found he was put in a prison camp and I am pretty sure he died there also when he was young they lived in I guess some wealth he lived in a nice three-story house they also had a summerhouse he loved that summerhouse living in the country and exploring through everything. He loved exploring. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a very interesting man.

 For Sunday today, I m going to talk about the fatherland. Was Abrahams version of heaven but he diddent know it when God told him to go to a land he didn't know Abraham had absolutely no idea where he was going but when he got there he still lived in tents. This means he was still ready to move why was this why did he not just make a house foundation. This is why he saw he wanted city heaven he could almost like see into the future he could see where he was going that is why always at the end Abraham believed fully and without question with Isaac he rose up early in the morning. He probably had many questions but still he rose up early in the morning this questionable faith happened his whole life and when he died and went to heaven he had the satisfaction he desired.

 I am still talking about David bauussoua and we are at a part where he is traveling a lot of places and started a program through small loans and he was technically the founder. He worked all the time on programs like this he even started working in Arabia but a lot of people had to leave Arabia they got threatened a lot to be kidnapped and stuff like that. He had a knack for seeing what type of thing the people needed and he gave it to them making his fortune. He actually still might be alive today because the book I read was made in like 2001 and he was still alive then.

 For a blog today I am still doing David bassou after he settled down in Sydney became a multimillionaire through shroud investments and buying he started the things to help people in need and a relief force for places that just got bombed or a hurricane hit stuff like that he first did this when he was asked to tapei or somewhere like that to help rebuild houses after that endeavor he partnered with a friend in the construction company and stated that foundation was that was firm he started some other orginazitations he traveled but still always had time with his family he already had about 2 doughters.

 David basso was an interesting character he became a multimillionaire by working hard. Also he had the brains to invest in just the right business he would buy them work on them for a while and he would be able to sell them for a very big amount of money almost every time double the amount. He also had this trust fund of money he got when he was eighteen the amount 2000 pounds in money in English money I am pretty sure and back then it was a lot of money when he became older he got married and moved to Sydney because his wife had this thing where she fainted and got tired a lot she needed a different climate.

 The ships had bulges on theire sides to help from torpedoes. It was something that more or less kept the torpedo at a distance from the actual haul of the ship also it was made up of these airtight compartments The English first used it when they figured it worked they put it on all new ships the only problem was though that it made the ship slower and back than they where already very slow they lost about two miles per hour. This happened until the Japanese figured a sleekr version to put on theire ships. 

The biography I am doing a blog on now is called David bassou he worked I this thing called small loans so he would give money to poor people so they could get themselves on their feet again when he was young the people didn't have a very good upbringing probably most of them would go bad but David didny he actually hired or rented a hot dog stand and made quite a bit of money of it when he figured this out he rented 2 more and employed some of his friends and after that, he worked in this woodworking place and he got his 2 fingers cut off and one was hanging by a flap of skin they sewed two on but his ring finger never got fixed he had a stump just right there.

 For sermon Sunday today I am going to talk about the five questions from proverbs so the text is from proverbs twenty four I am pretty shure and the key verse is through wisdom is a house builded. Think of a stick image with a massive head and a small body that is the person who likes thinking about theology and books and yu stuff than think of another one whith a small body and a small head but massive legs this means he like running around and feeding the Poor and doing all these thing he is a person of action the next one is a stick figure with a massive heart he thinks on things deeply and prays more.
