Okay... one reason I left the evangelical church (although I might hear such things elsewhere) is for what I term "bumper sticker Christianity" "Jesus is our rest" "We only have to observe Jesus all day every day" I have no concept of what that means, and I would suggest that without some...

Right now it is a bit of a "rules are rules" situation and not wanting to rock the boat (taking a payout at the end of the year and upsetting my manager) I have to do it. So, I'll plan accordingly. There's a rock festival in Alberta in July I just found out about so that'll take care of at least...

I probably will spend some of that time at home going through some boxes and things that are cluttering up my closet. I'm in a rental suite that, although it's a good size, doesn't have much room for storage. So thinning that out would be good - and to do a mega-clean as well - perhaps a good...

I'll probably do quite a bit of small trips around here. Maybe something 3 or 4 days or so on Vancouver Island. There are a number of places to see and some cheaper deals on AirBnB vs. a hotel right near the ferry docks.

The asking of absurd questions (yours of MC) is absurdity

I've been told I need to schedule my vacation hours for the year. I wasn't sure I'd accrue any so I hadn't planned on scheduling things. Turns out I have hours to use up. I really don't want to take a vacation this year because I want to save money. Besides, I already work a four on, four off...

So we've reached absurdity? Good.

Back at ya - where is the correlation that the prayers being offered to God in those passages are those prayers offered to the 24 elders instead of God? Why does it trouble you that these elders of scripture should be making such an offering?

Never mind. :D

Saints of God are not "mediums and necromancers" (ESV) Psychics calling on your Aunt Betsy? Well...

I think the public broadcasting network ran it during a pledge drive once many years ago and I loved it. I've always admired John Cleese. He seemed different from the rest of the "Python" group somehow

I'd be too anxious in a race. I'm wary of people coming up behind me if I can't see them, and also coming up on others from behind if they don't know I'm there. In this instance, though, I guess it'd be expected so my 'guard' wouldn't be up as much

It was a case study on me in high school :D I did, however, get an "A" in statistics for my Master's. Go figure

Wow. Sometimes the body just needs that catch-up. :thumbsup:

Relaxing after a day out. The kids up above were in over-drive this morning above my bedroom. It was 9:30 after all, but still... I was a little vocal with my frustration and I think they heard me because it got quiet for about a half hour. It never just abruptly stops like that. In the quiet I...

Yes :D

Well, laptop is "working" sort of, but it's flickering every ten seconds or so. I anticipate a screen of death soon

Laptop decided it was going to 'poop out' so I'm waiting to see if a reset will fix the issue. Not surprised as it has been a bit finicky lately.

Allow me to clarify. The context of the discussion when I quoted the post was whether God was okay with Genocide, and criminals being judged for crimes of treason. The (paraphrased) answer was along the lines that we ought not question God and his motives. There had also been some discussion...

I'm speaking of Neal. And he also has right to be cynical - I don't blame him. His wife and daughter died unexpectedly a year apart. However, his atheist predilections were present long before. I do respect his honesty about such things, though. I may not agree with him, but the forthrightness...
