Hello Friends!
As some of you know, my routine is getting up before daylight, making a pot of coffee, reading scripture, then typing until it is time to get ready. Turning on a light, I was shocked to see this.
One of the members of the household opted to make construction paper cut outs of insects and put them in the lamps.
This was totally unexpected! I am totally the April Fool! In addition, I found additional pranks.

😂 that was funny and cute
Indeed!
That’s great stuff! Was it one or two or three members of the household?
The garden gnomes did it. The gaurd of the garden was distracted. I don’t blame him. He works 24/7
That’s really funny to me because I read a comic strip called Harley https://www.gocomics.com/harley where the main character is this big, burly biker dude. An on/off theme is that he always locks his doors at night because he is afraid the garden gnomes will come in and do something to him while he sleeps. I’ve heard, but cannot vouch for the veracity of it, that the night before the Battle of Waterloo, garden gnomes snuck in and switched Napoleon’s coffee for decaf.
That, is why there is a gaurd in tje garden!
But what if they give him decaf?
They may have!
😅
Do you have April Fool in your country?
yes !
What are some neat pranks that you think are funny?

That Was Excellent!
😜
That was so excellent I cannot wait until next year to do it to someone!!!!
😁😁🤣
🤭
That’s good we could all use some humor! Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! Are you still able to go to work?
Ah! This reminds me of the pranks I pulled off.
I handed out sweet boxes filled with stones to five houses, claiming it was my father’s birthday. Three of them accepted.
Haha!
That is an excellent prank! Do you exchange gifts for birthdays?
Sometimes. I just wanted a reason to fool them so made it up.
Definitely a good prank. Do you celebrate Christmas?
That depends on the meaning of celebrating Christmas.
We get a holiday, and we go shopping and stuff.
Small kids get gifts under pillow. In areas sometimes someone become santa and gives toffee to small children.
But that is about it.
How d’you celebrate Christmas?
We celebrate the birth of Jesus. We worship,exchange gifts, and eat pizza at my home.
That must be fun.
In India, Christians live in clusters.
Certain areas are full of them and elsewhere they are absent.
My city has no church.
A Cluster of Christians! Ha ha!
Well Christianity came mostly through the colonials. Wherever they formed Colonies, Christianity increased.
There are lots and lots of missionaries in India.
What are your thoughts on Christianity?
It is a good religion. Most of its teaching are very similar to Hinduism.
Most Christians I have met are calm and peaceful people.
But of course, every community has some extremists. But you can’t judge a community by the extremists.
I know not much about Christians, but from what I do, they are a great people
Well, you are indeed a spectacular individual as well! Thank you for your perception of Christians!
Just wondering: What is your honest perception if hinduism?
From what I read online, many christians hate Hindus and the religion, mostly due to ignorance.
I love all people, to include you, friend. I do not hate you. I do not believe the same things as you, however.
One cannot serve Jesus and adhere to Hindu beliefs at the same time. I believe in one Lord ,one faith, and one baptism. It is completely different that having many deities. I cannot stress enough that it is not Christ like to hate a person.
Good to hear this.
Just one thing: Hinduism believes in one God.
His name is ParaBrahma.
He takes three forms of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. These three forms are one. These Three forms take further forms to help humans.
All Gods are considered ultimately one.
Hinduism advocates that there is one destination, but a million paths. Christianity is one of those paths, as per Hindus.
But of course, I respect your point of view.
Thank you for the insight to your religion, Ishaan.
Just wanted to clarify one more thing. Hinduism is not polytheism. It is polymorphism.
And second: Idol worship is a new addition to hinduism. Ancient texts regard it as not needed, but leave the choice to individuals.
Wow, did not know any of these things.
Hello. I am curious to learn about christianity. I have 2 questions:
1) can a non christian read the bible?
2) if yes, can you suggest a certain portion of the bible which can be read to learn about Christian philosphy?
I don’t want to read all the stories. Just find out the main theme and beliefs of the religion.
I am grateful for your help
Great Questions Ishaan!
1. Anyone can read the Bible!
2. I would recommend a Water and Spirit Bible study to find the main theme.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:5 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.3.5.KJV
Then I would read Acts 2 for the plan to find salvation.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:4 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/act.2.4.KJV
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:36-39 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/act.2.36-39.KJV
Thanks for the suggestions. Will look into these.
For a longer read, Check out, Genesis, Luke, and Acts. That is several days of dedicated reading. You are welcome. I respect you as a man, friend. Thank yoi for telling me your perspective and asking hard questions!
Thanks
Absolutely! I am glad we had this discussion! You are quite the scholar-
Just read the first one.
Is rebirth by water meaning that being baptised is a second birth?
Yes, it is called a new birth experience by some. Thia is the washing away of sins and the burial of our fleshly desires. We are buried with Jesus in baptism.
Thanks for the insight.
Just completed the second link.
I have duscovered a lot of similarities between our religions already.
Just like baptisations, In hinduism too, there is the second birth when a child joins the school of the teacher, and starts the service of god.
Also, the vedas, the holiest texts of hinduism, were written when the saints heard a great voice, which spoke through them.
Thank you again! I respect that you took the time to read!
The second and third link lead me to the same page. Is that a mistake?
I copied and pasted the reading so you could read it. It is likely a mistake.
Okay.
Any suggestions on what I should read next?
Genesis. It is the book where it all started!
Okay. ‘Tis The book of creation, I suppose?
It is a book of beginnings and first mentions
I have read the first 8 chapters.
It is interesting.
Btw, your site is throwing all my comments into the bin
When I get to a computer, I will take care of the comments. I am excited that you have read so much!
Thanks for guiding me. Will continue to read.
In case you are ever curious and want to learn about Hinduism, do tell me.
Fait enough. You are welcome!
Fait?
Fair enough.
Oh. I see.
Christmas is fun!
It sure is.
Today, is the day of birth of Lord Ram, 7th avatar of supreme Lord Vishnu.
Happy ‘Ram Navami’ to you!
Oh, is this like a birthday party?
Haha! NO.
We pray to Lord Ram today.
Just like you pray to jesus on christmas.
Oh I see. I pray to Jesus every day.
Well we do pray to God everyday. But this is just a special occasion.
Hahaha. So funny and cute 😊😊 God bless 💐
Thank you! God bless you as well, Neha. Do you play any pranks in your home? If so, what kind?
Thank you for your wishes 🙏 not know as if no one here to play pranks with. But yay I have done so many kinda things in my childhood and hostel as well by becoming a ghost in the midnight.😂😂
You acted like you were a ghost? That is classic! What is your favorite holiday?
Yeah!! True I did that. hehe. Whichever day spend with my family and loved one becomes my favorite holiday😊😊 spending time with them and making memories are precious.. What about you?
I think my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Like you, I believe family to be the most important. I thank Jesus for all the amazing things He did for us throughout the year! Food, Family, and Jesus! Are there any holidays you dislike?
Indeed 👏 Good to hear that 😊☺️ not particularly, it’s just when I am not around with my people it makes me feel gloomy. And you?
Being around our people is good! You are my people at the Campfire! I do not like Halloween.
Thank you so much dear 😇 it means a lot to me ☺️ you are so humble 💐 sending you my blessings 🙏 and yeah we all have likes and dislikes😊 nice to know more about you.
Nice talking with you friend! I believe it is late over there. Have a great evening!

Dude! You beat me to it! I was going to do ALL of those!
You still can. Wel, not to Ben, but…
I have something else in mind now…. I’ll post it as soon as someone can proof read it!
Hmmmmm?
I posted it!!!!!!!!!! Too bad you beat me though.
Blame it on the time zone.
Good idea!
I woke up to it all!
I have a feeling you did all that.
Most of that looks normal in our house though! 😉 😉 😉
Strangely Enough, little gnomes did it.
What’s a gnome?
Little people that have not finished school and blog everywhere.
Uhhh ok. I didn’t do it! Not sure who you’re referring to.
Eyes you suspiciously
It’s NOT Me!!!!!!!!!!!
All the little gnomes are telling me that,.
How dare you! I’ll get you back!
Someone did on the last post. See the Chalk?
Whoa now! I didn’t say “your back” I said “you back” I’ll get you back… like a boomerang!
Is that an old person using the telephone? ” a Boomer Rang?”
No! I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve heard the term used before.

Very Neat! I have learned not to ask about music.
Not sure why. I think you should.
What are your thoughts on music?
Music is heaven on earth!
I like music. Especially Gospel
You said yesterday you didn’t like music.
Due to the fact that you made it difficult to talk about.
Oh please! Weirdo! Music is the best thing on earth. It’s awesome. It’s just great! Gospel music – YES! And any instrument played with strings.
I hear you play the guitar! Do you like the Newsboys or Jars of Clay?
Yep! I have 3 awesome guitars! They’re are my best friends. I play some other instrument too, but guitar is the star! Check out the pic on my About and Contact page on my blog.
I’ve heard of Newsboys, but I don’t keep up with them.
You have a blog? I will have to check it out sometime!
I hope I’m talking to the guy I thought I was. Did I mess up?
I am joking with you, Snotty Nose
You know what? I don’t have a snotty nose.
