    It was a workout when I had to haul my miter saw up two flights of stairs.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    40s would be nice. I went for another run yesterday but really wasn't feeling it. I'm not sure if it was too soon after lunch or the effects of lacquer fumes from treating the floor. I got a less measurable workout by putting three coats of lacquer on the floor in one room in my house.

    How do you practice forgiveness when the relationship can't be restored?

    I don't believe forgiveness requires full restoration of access. I see forgiveness as a decision to not hold someone's wrongs against them. That means I don't hold a grudge, not that I'll invite them back into my life so they can repeat those wrongs. A part of the reason I left my last church...

    What does the bible say about immigration and obeying the law of the land?

    I have known a few people whose attitude is that we should allow as many people in as will physically fit, or variations on that theme. Needless to say not a single one of them wanted to open their own home to house even one such immigrant. When I applied for my immigrant visa my wife had to...

    Yeah, not very warm but warm enough to run for a change. I'm hoping to run again today and probably tomorrow. Saturday is supposed to be really cold again.

    What does the bible say about immigration and obeying the law of the land?

    Every single one of those commandments is simple - "you shall". Not "you shall vote so that someone else is forced to" How many people demanding unfettered immigration want to open their own homes to provide shelter for the people they purport to care for so much? How many of them want to feed...

    I finally got to run today, for the first time in over a week. My original plan was 4 miles but I decided to make it a 10k to get some decent miles in. It was an OK run, a bit cold for it but I get tired of walking and not running.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I've been walking, it's been too cold to run. Yesterday I wanted to run but the temperature felt a little on the cold side and my legs weren't really feeling it, so I walked. I spent the first two miles wishing I'd run and the last two miles glad I hadn't run. The bit in the middle was kinda...

    What does the bible say about immigration and obeying the law of the land?

    I think the parable of the Good Samaritan contains implications that many would find uncomfortable. Being a parable we can only draw so much from it, but it's interesting that the Samaritan (the guy who would have been considered to have about the same status as a dog) took pity on the man who...

    Pass the Offering Plate?

    We pass an offering plate. I think there are ways to give online, although personally I don't use them because the ones I've seen before involve fees and if I'm going to give I'd rather give to the church than lose some in fees. I guess a lot of people give online or drop a check with the...

    What Frankj said. We can create our own realities, up to a point. If you believe you're someone who is no good at anything, you're probably right. If you believe you can get the hang of things, you're probably right. You might as well take the latter approach. You can affirm your status as a...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    There's a lot there Ghost, and I haven't quoted it because it would make a post inordinately long. There is certainly some merit in your comment about reading too much into implications - in simple terms if we start with "if A then B" we cannot logically conclude "if not-A then not-B". So if...

    Dreams and Visions that come today.

    This is the sort of thing that falls very nicely under "test all things, hold fast what is true". Some people say God will never contradict his word. That's not entirely true - Ezekiel was told to cook food using human waste and cut his beard, both in direct violation of the Mosaic law. But...

    I first learned to drive abroad, where the test meant something. When I passed my driving test here all I could think was "well that explains a lot"

    It really is a joke seeing a "test" that consists of little more than proving you can drive at low speeds without hitting any stationary objects.

    They could expand the driving test to include highways, and public roads over and above bimbling around a housing estate at little over walking pace. If you're about to be unleashed to drive solo on any road out there, it can't hurt to verify you're competent. It's hard to see specifically...

    How many people on here have memorized the whole bible?

    I'd be surprised if he memorized the entire Bible in as little as two years. Reading the entire Bible is another matter. I've read all of it except the Psalms - I've read several of them but not every single one. I know people who read the entire Bible two or three times every year. I keep...

    I find it remarkable that people aren't required to know how to drive in the snow and ice. When I took my theory test I think there was one question about what to do in a slide, with multiple choice answers. The question contained no nuances relating to whether the slide took place on a bend...
