Sitting reading some old stories written by an earlier Norwegian politicians, and one of the stories I wanted to share, as it holdes a deeper meaning, at a funny way 😅😅
The name of the book are:
When the sap rises, and it goes like this:
A woman had a tiny farm deep in the forest. Ever since she was little, her father had instilled in her that they were independent on the farm and belonged to the private sector, as he put it. Now it had come to the point where the only income she had was the small fee she charged for lending out an old billy goat she kept.
One day, a strict letter arrived in the mail from the tax chief. He claimed that she owed taxes for undeclared work, as it was evident that this had been going on for many years. On behalf of the municipality, he explained the rules regarding discretionary assessment and demanded a lump sum tax of 5000 kroner.
The woman found this outrageous, so she protested both by letter and phone, but to no avail. She didn't know what to do.
One morning, she heard the sound of a car, and there, rattling along the forest road, came the tax chief and an assistant, driving a small truck. They took the billy goat, handcuffed its legs, tied it securely, and told the woman that the goat would now serve in municipal service so they could recoup what she owed. Then they drove away with it! The woman honked and cried, standing on the doorstep with a handkerchief.
As the men were about to start the truck, they saw in the rearview mirror that the woman came rushing across the yard, leaned down toward the goat’s ear, and whispered. It actually looked as if the goat nodded!
Three weeks later, the men returned with the goat, dumped it heavily in the yard, and told the woman that this miserable goat was no good at all; it was impossible for her to have earned money on such a lazy animal.
The tax chief proclaimed:
– "Well, Anna, now you will get your goat back, and we will erase the debt. But on one condition: You must tell us what you whispered in its ear before we took it away."
– "Oh, that’s easy," she replied, "I just told him that when he was in municipal service, he shouldn't work any harder than the others there!"
This morning I went to collect the eggs, check on all the animals, bring some fresh hay…all in all about a 10 minute chore.
In the last few days, some of the chickes have been laying their eggs all over the barn, so while I went to check I noticed something strange in the corner of one of the stalls.
At first I thought it’s 2 chickens cuddled up but I quickly realized that it was actually two brand new baby goats.
The momma had left them in the corner and frankly wasn’t very attentive.
I carried them over the “junior suite” stall, and we made it warm and cozy with a heater and blankets.
It looked like they weren’t going to make it as they wouldn’t drink and momma didn’t really encourage them.
After they got warm and cozy we tried again and they finally started drinking so they could get their colostrum in.
We’ve been down there every hour checking in and helping them get to the teat.
So far so good. They have plenty of warmth and plenty of milk, now it’s up to their will to live.

QUESTION
ALL so-called "government authority" rests upon a mountain of secrets n lies that secret keepers n liars twist truth from n create MORE lies to protect. The ENTIRE thing serves greed thru dishonesty. As we all KNOW secrets n lies breed destruction n calamity at any n all scales. My question is THIS - WHY do you all keep refusing to see the beings running a corporation that functions as a parasite that keeps you on your knees for what the fuck they are??? . . . . . . . Don't answer to me, answer to yourselves. I fuckin know why, it's time y'all do too. See the horrid truth so we can make adjustment collectively. Here is a song to listen to while ya dwell on what I said -
Friends,
it's always quite interesting to see how one and the same piece of information/video/article can cause an incredibly variety of reactions. From "blessed and inspired" to "this is fear mongering of the worst kind".
They saw the same piece on information delivered/written by the same person. So is it the information itself or is it something else that determines how we react?
Kristin and I talk about it in today's Sunday Sermon right here 👇🏽
Much Love & Many Blessings,

Friends,
in the face of all that we are witnessing in the world today, who hasn't asked themself at times, "What can little old me change"? It's a common question and we've all asked it before.
It's actually a very important one to ask, but most don't realize how powerful the real answer is.
Let us explain in today's Sunday Sermon 👇🏽
