Church notes - 6th December 2020

 Matthew 7:1 - 5

Matthew 1:18 - 25

Hope will be found when we look to God.

Psalm 8

Mary's initial reaction: She was filled with questions and doubts: 

Luke 1:29

She was purplexed and anxious.

Joseph was hurt and broken hearted.

Matthew 1:19

The Shepherds

Luke 2:8 - 10

They were terrified; filled with fear.

The Magi were exhausted after a long journey through the desert.

All of them were overwhelmed.

This applies to us in 2020 - overwhelmed by the changes that this year has brought.

Hope

After Joseph is told what is going on with Mary he is filled with hope. The Shepherds boldly went and told others about the angels and the child.

Matthew 2:9 - 12

Hope: We find it in Jesus!

In His Birth, Death and Resurrection!

We need to change our focus to what God has done through Jesus.

Beginnings of 2020 - Agents of SHIELD - Jemma and the Cherries

 Agents of SHIELD – Jemma and the Cherries

If there was one thing Jemma Simmons liked, it was cherries. So it was disappointing to find that where she had expected to see her stash of cherries, there were none left. Someone else on the Bus must have eaten them! One person immediately came to mind. “Leopold James Fitz!”

 

Fitz came immediately. “Jemma! I didn’t touch your cherries!”

 

She knew he wasn’t lying. “Then who did?”

 

 

Beginnings of 2020 - Back to the Future - Lorraine's Paradox

 Back to the Future – Lorraine’s Paradox

November 12, 1955

8:37 PM

Lorraine Baines was uncertain. Calvin Kline was cute, but strange. She waited outside for him to pick her up to go to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. It was foolish, but then wasn’t all love foolish? To meet someone and then spend each other’s lives with them. That was one reason why she disliked Biff Tannen so! His advances were unwelcome and he drank to excess. She had heard stories. She  shook her head, clearing her mind of those thoughts. She then heard a car coming. She was sure it was Calvin!

 

 

Marty McFly arrived at his grandparent’s house. He hoped see it again in 1985. But something told him that success wasn’t guaranteed, that despite all the effort he had put into putting things right, he would fail. He shook his head, trying to dispel the memories of the nightmares he had had over the last week. ‘If Doc doesn’t read that letter. If George doesn’t dance with Lorraine…’

 

Lorraine opened the door, distracting him from his line of thought.

Beginnings of 2020 - Warehouse 13 - Mystery in the Atlantic

 Warehouse 13 – Mystery in the Arctic

“Where is this ping at?” Agent Myka Bering asked.

 

“It’s an island in the Villimans Archipelago,” Artie Neilson replied over her Farnsworth. “Ny Berk.”

 

“Niberk?” Agent Pete Laittmer asked.

 

“Ny Berk,” Artie clarified.

 

“Where is this island, again?” Pete asked.

 

“Between Ireland and Iceland,” Myka answered.

 

“Which is why you’re going via Reykjavik.”

 

“Got it.”

Excerpt from: Changes in Time and Space revision 2

“A Dalek program is decompressing the bridge,” Sigrun explained.

 

“Bring her in, but we have Dalek stuff in the scanner as well”, the Doctor responded. “They must have infected the plan file.”

 

“I could have sworn that it was a Thal ship, not one that belonged to the Daleks,” Kellira said.

 

“So, you are behind this invasion of Earth?” the Doctor asked.

 

“Of course I am, with the blessing of the Matriarchy,” Kellira answered, as if that was obvious.

 

“Of course, but you did not take into account that the Thals were the Daleks' oldest enemy, and thus were not above copying their designs so that a scenario like the one that is occurring now, will happen,” the Doctor said. She was exasperated that any Drahvin would fall for one of the oldest tricks in the metaphorical Dalek book. It most certainly had made her attempt to defeat their invasion of the Azores much harder. 'How many others would take the risk?' she wondered.

 

 

In the Bridge, air was screaming out of the TARDIS doors, which Sigrun had left open. The air pressure was done to 1/3 atmospheres. However, having grown up in an alpine environment, Jia'hale was able to cope while she dragged the guards into the Console Room.

 

 

Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor was worried. The air pressure in the Console Room was down to 2/3 atmospheres. The air was screaming out of the internal doors from the corridors, as well as the ventilation ducts. She could see Jia bringing the guards into the console room, just beyond the door and dashing out again. 'I'm sure something like this hasn't happened before,' she thought. Then again, maybe it had.

 

 

Inside the scanner circuitry the Dalek and Time Lord software continued to battle each other.

 

 

The Doctor came to a decision. “Right, Sab, you can keep watch on the scanner. You can attempt to reach Elisa and I on the internal comm.,” the Doctor said.

 

 

'Since when does the TARDIS have an internal comm?' Felicia thought.

But first, the Doctor will be captured; no doubt she is planning something. She must have ent a message to the United Intelligence Taskforce. It cannot be a coincidence that a fleet of theirs is approaching.”

Excerpt from: Troubles of Ronisaka

“I always think ahead,” he said. He also nodded to one of the geisha’s who was moving behind Kamasagi. Kamasagi lunged at Clara, who avoided the ensuing strike with a smooth motion. The Doctor made his move, causing Kamasagi to drop his katana, which was picked up by the geisha.

 

“You think you’ve won?” Kamasagi asked.

 

“This battle, yes,” the Doctor said. “But I will find out what you’re up to.”

 

“Doctor,” Clara said.

 

“His associates? I wouldn’t worry about them.”

Excerpt from: Q Junior’s Lessons

Janeway turned to Neelix and Ayala. “We’re not getting anywhere here. We’ll have to use the lounges for the communal meals while she’s on board.”

 

“It will be difficult, but I can do it. I can cook in the aft lounge on Deck 11,” Neelix said.

 

“Thank you, Captain,” the Princess said.

 

 

Q Junior was annoyed that he had to take the luggage from the guest quarters to the Mess Hall, but at least Torres hadn’t recalled the DOT15 yet. ‘Good,’ he thought.

 

 

“Finally!” the Princess said when she saw the antigrav sled with her luggage enter the Mess Hall.

Excerpt from: Terra Incognita ISOT Map Game

North America

The Southern States continue to deal with the new situation they have found themselves in. Unrest simmers in Alabama. The BLA is only responsible for some of it. (But what they are responsible for is more riotous than otherwise.)
