****Main shocks since I moved by faith but trusting 3 individuals too much from Albuquerque eastward starting on February 26th:

2. lying by a Texas trucker and a Texas moving company dispatcher
3. lying by 7 others in US Pro Moving and Logistics about delivery being arranged
4. lying by a trucker of another company which resulted in my not receiving the remaining 10% of my things (some not-replaceable).
5. what I observed in a Saturday morning South Korean founded church with extreme doctrines and requirements.
6. how expansive that Consumer Cellular costs rise for streaming Christian music and movies, Christian church services, and other videos.
****Main blessings since April 1, 2020:

4. deliveries of the things I ordered via the Walmart website
5. the 5th Spectrum technician and a few of the Spectrum customer service agents
6. at Grace Bible Church since June 2oth, refreshments in the Sunday School class I chose (I still get spiritually blessed on Saturdays too)
7. my right recliner with the cup holder for my remotes, magnifying class, pens, etc,

“Sower of the Seed” parable
Matthew 13:1-9 & 18-23
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea.
2 But such great crowds gathered about Him
that He got into a boat and remained sitting there,
while all the throng stood on the shore.
3 And He told them many things in parables
(stories by way of illustration and comparison), saying,
“A sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed,
some seeds fell by the roadside,
and the birds came and ate them up.
5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground,
where they had not much soil;
and at once they sprang up,
because they had no depth of soil.
6 But when the Sun rose,
they were scorched, and because they had no root,
they dried up and withered away.
7 Other seeds fell among thorns,
and the thorns grew up and choked them out.
8 Other seeds fell on good soil,
and yielded grain--

some a hundred times as much as was sown,
some sixty times as much, and some thirty.
9 He (or she) who has ears [to hear], let him (or her) be listening
and let him (or her) consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.”
18 Listen then to the [meaning of the] parable of the sower:
19 While anyone is hearing the Word of the Kingdom
and does not grasp and comprehend it,
the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his (or her) heart.
This is what was sown along the roadside.
20 As for what was sown on thin (rocky) soil,
this is he (or she) who hears the Word
and at once welcomes and accepts it with joy;
21 Yet it has no real root in him (or her),
but is temporary (inconstant, lasts but a little while);
and when affliction {or} trouble {or} persecution comes
on account of the Word,
at once he (or she) is caused to stumble
[he (or she) is repelled and begins to distrust and desert
Him Whom he ought to trust and obey]
and he falls away.
22 As for what was sown among thorns,
this is he (or she) who hears the Word,
but the cares of the world and the pleasure and delight
and glamour and deceitfulness of riches
choke and suffocate the Word,
and it yields no fruit.
23 As for what was sown on good soil,
this is he (or she) who hears the Word
and grasps and comprehends it;
he indeed bears fruit
and yields in one case a hundred times as much as was sown,
in another sixty times as much, and in another thirty.”
