    Describe your church in one sentence

    We've only visited it twice so far but it seems to be a good place. It's not a big church but it feels more peaceful than our previous church did in a while.

    Describe your church in one sentence

    I can describe the church I've been visiting in one word - "peaceful".

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

    I Is it worth running a snowblower for that little snow? We got about four inches of snow yesterday. It fell slowly but steadily for most of the day, but it was the light powdery snow that's easy to clear. I went for a walk in the evening and saw someone using a leaf blower to blow the snow...

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

    This thread went quiet. A couple of days my house breaking project stalled so I started another round of draft hunting. It involved pulling down an entire closet, which was so small as to be useless so wasn't a great loss, and then the rest of the chimney stack I first attacked some time back...

    Keeping a small church going

    A lot would depend on what you mean by "keeping it going", and a lot will depend on what practical requirements the small church has. If it has a full-time pastor and a premises to maintain that obviously requires financial resources that a small church will increasingly struggle to provide...

    Funerals at your church?

    Ah, I misread your post. I think the food was provided by volunteers and there were few ladies who ran the kitchen.

    Funerals at your church?

    I don't recall ever staying after the meal except maybe once, which was long enough ago I don't really remember. From what I recall my last church had a simple progression from receiving line to service to meal, and at the end of the meal people went home. Anyone particularly close to the family...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    A different kind of workout. Breaking my house was a lot of work these last two days, as I took down the bottom half of a chimney stack. Breaking it all apart is easy enough with a rotary hammer - a nice fat chisel bit slams into the mortar seams until they give, then a big wrecking bar pulls...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    If you have a watch and you're pushing something along the ground it may not register, as your wrist isn't making the movements typically associated with steps. The same can happen when pushing a shopping cart or a lawnmower or similar. The old Fitbit One was a handy unit - long battery life...

    Super Rich Celebs asking for money after the fire?

    Maybe, but if your $14,000,000 mansion is destroyed by fire maybe the first port of call would be to look for a cheaper property before asking your fan base to help you fund another mansion. If you can afford the downpayment on a mortgage for a mansion that price the chances are you can buy a...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout today was sprint repeats. The suggested intervals my watch throws at me are much too easy - it gives me long enough to recover between short intervals that they aren't much of a challenge. I didn't want to do sprints today so decided to take a gentle run, with walk breaks as...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It can be pretty intense, depending on how deep it is and what area you're clearing. Sometimes my wife and I have chalked up several thousand steps just clearing snow from our driveway. When it's deep and heavy, and we need to walk back and forth working with partial shovel widths at a time...

    Also true in the winter, although the people who attend the gym regularly are more likely to be the more healthy ones. Yesterday I finally got a run in, for the first time in a week. Today I walked because we had snow and wind. For much of the walk there was no wind and I thought I could have...

    Super Rich Celebs asking for money after the fire?

    If people want to give to someone who has unimaginably more than they have, they are free to do so. It seems a bit tone deaf to ask for money to replace your third mansion when others have literally nothing left, but that seems to sum up a lot of celebrity culture. It's all about me, after all...

    You have an hour to grab things from home...

    I'd probably tell my wife to grab anything that was specifically important to her, while I gathered up things like my laptop and a few practical items. I'd need my laptop to do things like get online and make sure bills were paid, and I have digital copies of documents that are important. We...

    Bound for Hell, not God's fault

    Fair call, the difference between Calvinists and the ones you called hyper-Calvinists (not unreasonably, IMO) is a good distinction to repeat here.

    They aren't the worst I've walked in. Sometimes I've had to lean hard into the wind, and times it's been hard enough to make me stumble sideways a step or two when a gust catches me. I wish there was a gym nearer me, the trouble is that when the weather is nasty and I don't really want to be...

    City, country or suburbs?

    Hard to say in many ways. I moved from the city to the country and really enjoy having lots of space and a house big enough to have space for things, but at the same time I miss being able to go out for the evening without considering driving home again. It's really handy meeting a friend at the...

    Are Trump's expansion plans too much?

    Given how liberal Canada is compared to the US I can't imagine a Republican president would want more liberals in the Senate. That alone would suggest he's not serious about Canada. Controlling the Panama Canal might have its advantages but would also come with a lot of costs. Is he proposing...

    That's OK, I can collect if that's the only reason not to do it. Just let me know where to collect it :)
