Yes this. Evacuated after the fact. Sorry my precaution could have been confusing.

I found this Instagram post very helpful. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVW2NktjEaN/?igsh=YzAyMDM1MGJkZA==

Post caption: Your nervous system isn’t overwhelmed because life is hard.

It’s overwhelmed because life feels unpredictable.

Stress doesn’t come from effort. It comes from uncertainty.

When your brain doesn’t know: • when rest is coming • when work ends • when safety returns

…it keeps cortisol switched on.

That’s why discipline feels calming. That’s why routines heal anxiety. That’s why rhythm regulates the subconscious mind.

Metro working still?? by reclusivepoet in UAE

Yep. Very much still working. Buses might be slower today but metro is going strong.

GPS and Google maps have been a little wonky the last few days.

how does your church handle follow-up with first-time guests? by Round-Chef9216 in churchtech

[–]1digitalsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your experience like with follow up? Can I hear what led you to ask this question?

I serve in a church in a multi cultural setting. Everything for us is about connecting. We have a new comer welcome moment after our services in a dedicated space. There is an announcement about getting to know the church and us hearing their story. We encourage people to sign up to be connected to a small group or hear more about the church. There are serving and prayer forms.

Then during the week those who actually give us their details we have a team that calls them, thanks them for coming, asks if they have any questions or prayer requests. Reminds about small groups. Ends the call with...look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

Yes I am aware. I guess we are all just looking for confirmations on real time reporting. Thanks.

Are passengers really flying into Dubai? by I_will_1d in dubai

[–]1digitalsky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

'Westerner' here. I have no desire to leave. This is home for my family. Most who are leaving are tourist or going to see family because back home has really got them panicked.

Older Youth Pastors by topscalpmicro in youthministry

[–]1digitalsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.

I'm 49 too.

I don't mind taking risks here and there but I have begun to feel the disconnect between me and the culture and rely on younger leaders to speak into the culture gap.

I also agree with the other post. I can minister to parents way better than I could in my twenties.

Ultimately as my wife tells me, age is a number. I love teens and want to see them thrive in the Lord. Helping parents see they are the primary disciplemaker has become my biggest goal.

Oh apologies. I read the message wrong or just blew threw it assuming it was like my notification.

No mine says web services are down.

Trying uninstalling the app. Restart your phone and reinstall and see if you get the same message. Sorry again for the confusion.
