    What is the best sized congregation for most people?

    I’m not sure which I prefer. I’ve been a member of a church that had a weekly attendance of 800 and I’ve also been a member of churches with 40 total membership. I’ve attended mega-churches with 28,000 membership and weekly attendance of 3000-4000. The mega church which I’ve attended several...

    Acrophobia

    For many phobias are chemical imbalances, and for some the anxiety can be diminished by regulating the chemicals the body produces during those times of stress. I recently was on a drug to help with something completely different but the side effects were feelings of suicide. I started to have...

    Israel Tour

    I assume Lammchen was asking about the bronze snake being original not the picture. But I think King Hezekiah destroyed it because people were worshiping it. I maybe wrong.

    What does your real Name mean in your Language?

    My name is an Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese name. Like its French variant, Vincent, it is derived from the Latin name Vincentius meaning "conquering" (from Latin vincere, "to conquer").

    Do health drinks help in weight reduction?

    Oh my, I tried Slim Fast over 30 years ago. And I remember being weak and hungry. But when I was cycling 5 years ago, I did try some protein drinks and the chocolate one was delicious. But again, I'm not sure what "health drinks" are, I guess I've never really tried them either.

    The Bad Seed (1956)

    I've already got a big list of movies I want to watch and keep falling behind. So... The Bad Seed (1956) is now on the list.

    Game Shows

    I like Jeopardy now, and as a kid. But I don't watch it anymore. I did watch a few of them the week(s) that James Holzhauer was making his run. I'm not really a game show fan.

    Instant Pot Recipes Needed

    Nice! I really do want one, but I don't want it to become just another kitchen gadget. I was talking to the Health and Wellness person here at the gym at work and they really like it for the healthy foods that it can cook quickly and unattended. They seem to think that when a person doesn't...

    Instant Pot Recipes Needed

    Some advertise that they are 7 in 1 and some 10 in 1 pots. Pressure cooker, slow cooker, you can saute in them, rice cooker, a steamer, a yogurt maker. I can't remember all it does. I think it would work great for a small kitchen, for someone that doesn't already have the 7 different pots or...

    Instant Pot Recipes Needed

    That's what I've heard, the guys here at work make ribs in them and they talk about how tender they are. I've looked at them, but I always think I will use it a few times then I'll just store it away. But some of the foods I see and hear about sound so good. And yes, for someone who works and...

    Instant Pot Recipes Needed

    I really want one, but I've been an old-school cook for 50 years. However, these all in one cookers sound pretty good.

    Hotels not giving out little shampoos

    I know that toiletries are a dime a dozen wherever I go (have been) except for family and friends, so I do pickup some on my way before visiting them, and I just leave the large bottles for them. Some family may live 25-30 miles from the nearest store and I don't just expect them to provide me...

    Life Lessons Learned Late

    There are too many important little lessons that I can think of and it would take too long to list them. But, there are a few major lessons, for me that always bring me back to, “If I knew then, what I know now…”

    Hotels not giving out little shampoos

    For a long time I was traveling for business, now not so much. But I still travel for fun and have a night or two hotel stay almost once a month at least every couple of months. I never pack toiletries, unless my travel takes me to family or a friends place and not a hotel. I always travel...

    Mantra to calm down when you get angry

    I get mad, but it's like a firecracker. I'm mad for just seconds, not long enough to think to do anything about it. I feel that with my new medications I get angry more often, but again, it's so quick that within seconds I'm back to normal. If it's a person continually making me mad, I just...

    Checklist for moving?

    I guess so, didn't think about that because we've always taken possession of the new property days before we moved. We would go in and clean and paint and change things around before all our stuff arrived. So we just know we needed gas and electric (one call) and water of course. Our next...

    Checklist for moving?

    Interesting, I was just having this very same conversation not too long ago. The last 4 times I have moved, I hired a company to move me. I didn't have to make a list because I was moving to a bigger space each time. So other than if it was broken, I had them take everything!

    Marx, Marxism, and The Communist Manifesto

    I really don't want anything, basically because I really don't care... it was a comment on the OP where they wrote... "From a biblical perspective, the idea of not punishing a man for his father's sins would seem to apply here. For example, as far as I know, no one in my relatively immediate...

    Marx, Marxism, and The Communist Manifesto

    I'm not sure I understand the comment but I don't believe the examples are choices at this point. I don't have a choice of physical death. I believe Adam and Eve did.
