It is January 19, 2020!
I am your host Rainna SwiftSage
Jesus replied to the Devil in Matthew 4:4 "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” that so make sure you get your Bible study on before you hop in game!
What did I learn in the bible this week?
Favorite Bible Verse?
Ephesians 5:16, ESV: "making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."
2020 has arrived and with that comes a fresh new year. For many that means New years resolutions pop up all over filling the new batch of days with hope and good intentions. There are also many who will not hop on that new years buzz train and will continue moving forward into 2020 picking up where they left off in 2019. Whichever side you find yourself gravitating too, one thing I find refreshing is the option to use this time to start a change if you have been feeling led to do so. THats where I found myself.
For me, this year has been a great one! Not only does it mark a year since I have been recording this podcast, but it is another year where I can celebrate God. I have also felt led to make needed changes in my life , and among those how I spend my time. My inspiration for change in 2020 came from God inspiring me to continue to make changes and was solidified by an advertisement I saw for a product being sold on Amazon. A product called “The NoPhone Original Cell Phone” popped up on my FB feed so I took the bait and followed the link and found myself on a page with what looked like a smart phone being sold for 15$? I thought, “what the biscuits is an original No Phone!?”
Upon reading the description I found my answer, “ It has no data plan, no camera, no battery, no Wi-Fi but is completely toilet-bowl resistant! It's the perfect phone for someone who uses their phone too much!” It goes on to say in the Product Description, “The NoPhone is a fake phone for people who are addicted to real phones. As seen on ABC's Shark Tank, the NoPhone offers the only true alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact.” It brags that , “ Over 12,000 NoPhone have been Sold.
The NoPhone is a technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world. The NoPhone was awarded #1 Useless Gadget of 2015, beating out the Apple Watch.” “ No Wifi. No Camera. No Phone.
With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a surrogate to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle of smooth, cold plastic to clutch without forgoing any potential engagement with your direct environment.”
So Even though reading the descriptions is hilarious, the product being sold was screaming a bigger message. It was a mirror that I chose to look into. Was that their intent while also making bank? Maybe? I found it interesting though that that this “No Phone and the Bible were actually on the same page. When Paul wrote In Ephesians 5:15
Ephesians 5:15-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
“15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
I do not count myself among the many that are truly addicted to their phones or social media, but I do have it with me wherever I go and I am always listening to something . Podcasts, YouTube Channels, Sermons, music…. and that means I always have the option to pick my phone up and scroll out of convenience.
I have changed a couple of things to help me spend less time on my phone and to use that time to consume better content.
The bluetooth headphones my sister got me for christmas has really cut that down because I can move freely about the house without being tethered and that has helped.
I also downloaded the Dwell app to my phone so I can listen to the Bible being read as I go about my business.

Man hijacks Portland airport monitor to play video games, until PDX officials declare ‘game over
According to Port of Portland spokesperson Kama Simonds, who spoke with KXL News Thursday morning, early in the morning, a traveler plugged his Playstation 4 into a monitor that showed a map of the airport.
Operations supervisors approached the gamer, Simonds said, “and very kindly asked this person to unplug and cease using the monitors at the airport.”
According to Simonds, the man asked “very politely” if he could finish his game. Sadly for him, the answer was no.
“Apparently it was a very polite and cordial interaction,” Simonds said, calling it “a good reminder of what not to do at the airport.”

While answering your question is got a little bit confused, if I take the name of one game then the other game will get disappointed.
After thinking I have thought I enlight the thing which makes the game great. "The Gaming Characters and accessories- https://freerobuxgenerators.org/" and to get new gaming accessories and characters in the game you need to get the robux currency which is generated by the robux generator with the use of the free robux hack which is not provided easily by everyone at- https://getfreerobux.us/
