    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My watch is an older Garmin Forerunner, I've had it five years now. I can configure it so my phone talks on its behalf. I don't care for that, it beeps at me when I lap (and it's set up to auto-lap every mile), it beeps at me if any metrics go outside the desired range (which usually means my...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    At church yesterday my youngest two granddaughters usually sit either side of me (one between my wife and I, one between my daughter and I). For the singing they stand on the pews so they can see the words on the screen. The youngest, who is six, often wants me to pick her up and hold her. My...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    For me right now it's hard to know whether my muscles are aching because I'm getting older, because I was swinging my grandchildren around, because I've been running, or because I've been working in confined spaces pulling cables and connecting stuff over my head. I've told my daughter she...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I've been keeping regular runs and walks in, mostly gentle runs just to log the miles. I've been doing a lot of electrical work in confined spaces which is quite demanding on my leg muscles so sometimes my legs complain if I try and do that as well as running. Today my arms ache as well. I...

    Does your church have a constitution and bylaws?

    Our church has a basic constitution that describes this sort of thing - the definition and structure of the leadership, how someone becomes a leader, how long they serve, how many consecutive terms they may serve, how long a break they need to take between periods in leadership, how people apply...

    Can you pray for this?:

    I wouldn't touch anything Rick Joyner says with a barge pole.

    Maundy Thursday?

    My understanding is that traditionally the Passover meal is eaten after sunset on the 15th day of Nisan. Reading the accounts of the Last Supper, Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane etc it appears that Peter's denial probably takes place after dark given the people warming themselves around a...

    Does a 'Thought for Thought' translation or 'Dynamic Equivalence' make a difference?

    In this specific case it seems that saying the seventh day is a Sabbath is more accurate, given there are the seven annual Sabbaths that you mentioned yourself. In some instances the difference between a definite article and indefinite article is a crucial distinction. I'm not sure that's the...

    Government monitoring through vehicles?

    I read an article some time ago about a guy who got into trouble with the law for the heinous crime of taking some empty cans for recycling. Some of the empty cans were empty beer cans and apparently an overzealous cop determined the empty beer cans counted as "open containers of alcohol" and...

    Government monitoring through vehicles?

    My guess is that within a few days there will be a way to bypass it.

    Church Picnic?

    My last church used to have an annual day at a local riverside pavilion, but people gradually lost interest in it. The idea was that we'd have a normal-ish service and then a bring-n-share lunch with games available. It started to fizzle when fewer people stayed for the lunch and fewer still...

    I wanted a day off from running so did a walk instead, a little over five miles.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    A bunch of running lately. Yesterday I ticked off my weekend 10k challenge and a monthly challenge, with a 9.5 mile run. The last couple of miles were hard, I should have taken a water bottle with me. Today I ran four miles and got rained on for the last two of them, then walked the last mile...

    A Christian song you don't like?

    Personally I'd go further than that and get rid of anything related to Bethel. In a church situation, even if an individual song is theologically sound(ish), why would you want to put something from a toxic source in front of the sheep you're supposed to be protecting? In an age where people...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I'd have thought the software would upload the file, resize it, and delete the original file. I'm not talking about storing a 20MB file and displaying it at low resolution, I'm talking about storing a 20MB file, resizing it so it takes 200kb, deleting the 20MB file and displaying the 200kb file...
