Another person can certainly contribute, as you say, but we should never rely on another person to "make us happy". Other people can make us happier, and we can be happier to be around other people than to be alone, but if we are not content with our own consciousness then adding another person...

When I was in Youth one summer we did one where we had a bunch of plastic pink flamingos and someone in the church could pay to "flock" your house. A few youth would take the flamingoes one night and put them all in your front yard. You could then pay to "flock" someone else, or just let the...

Well, the "other" forum doesn't have the counting threads any longer, FWIW. Both this, and other forums like it, serve their purpose for what they are designed for. This is, by and large, a fairly small group of people that are friendly and helpful, while also being Biblically literate. It is...

Kayak all the way. I find them more stable and easier to maneuver alone. I use a tandem frequently with my wife or son. We have both a tandem and solo inflatable kayaks that we use around here.

This is not an enviable position to be in, I am not sure that I could offer any good advice to this person. On the one hand it seems that "kick him out and stop funding anything for him" is the right course, on the other there is the baby to consider. If there were no child the choice is much...

Neither my denomination or local church have a stance.

Nothing per se, but you asked for one that was truest to the English, the NLT is a dynamic equivalent, so it is not as literal as the ESV or CSB. IMO there is a reason the ESV is one of the most popular versions used by Protestant pastors.

ESV and CSB out of those options based on what you are requesting.

Visited....oh man, probably most of them - definitely all the "main" denominations. I think the only ones I have not been to are the very small denominations and Oneness types. Otherwise I have been all around from Messianic, Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist (SBC, ABA), Methodist (UMC, Free)...

Yes, but it is not super common in the RCC. I have also seen it done this way in Lutheran and Methodist churches. My church does #2. I don't find any of the options listed particularly scandalous.

Depends, around here there are a few local wildlife rehab places that would take them. Sometimes local zoos or emergency vets will also take wildlife.

I believe it is referring to the tomb in poetic language.

If Trump runs no Republican will want to challenge him to any great degree, at least any Republican with a chance of actually winning. DeSantis would be great, although if I am honest I really would loath to see him leave my state as Governor. I almost prefer to have him here keeping Florida...

I literally said that I bring my physical Bible and prefer a physical Bible for study, but I also recognize that it's a preference. And you most certainly can buy a hand written scroll or manuscript if you chose to invest your treasure in one. A printed Bible is your choice, a choice that at...

Nonsense. It is more convenient for you to bring a bound Bible that individual scrolls for each book. Are you doing so simply because it looks better to carry a leather, vinyl or board bound collection of books than a Torah scroll and individual or collective scrolls? No, you are doing it...

I do. I have a system where I bring my physical ESV Bible with me, I use a CSB, KJV, Artscroll, and NKJV mostly at home for study. I also have the eSword Bible app on my phone and Kindle. Honestly it is great, you can have multiple versions of the Bible with you to compare instantly, you can...

IMO anything over 2 hours is sleeping and not a nap. 4 is excessive for a nap and is solidly in sleep range.

Any foreign travelers entering the country legally through a manned portal of entry that is. No, it is not fair at this point. Citizens only need show a test, there is no reason why that cannot be extended to international travelers as well, many (most?) other countries have already dropped that...

ECLA has two types of Deacons and Deaconesses; the Synod and Parish Deacon and Rostered Deacon. The S&P Deacon can only serve in that synod (dioceses) and is assigned to be under a particular Pastor, if the pastor leaves or a new Bishop or pastor is installed he/she has the right to disband a...

"God Bearer" that she is the Mother of God and not simply the mother of Christ.
