Even though it's really hard on my knees I would love to go back to hike more on the Appalachian Trails. I love being in the woods with the animals and then stumbling upon some historical landmark. The people on the trails are also so very friendly and happy to be alive!
Disney World is a great...
Here's a nice link I found about unusual biblical customs that we normally don't understand or practice: https://owlcation.com/humanities/Unusual-Bible-Customs-Old-and-New-Testaments
Listening to the generator because the storms caused power outages in my area. Some roads are closed due to downed trees so it looks like I'll be staying home today.
It is based on this 1 Peter 3:18-20. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey.”
Knowledge of history (how people lived, thought, worshipped) can improve bible studies as we toss aside our modern viewpoints!
Some examples of modern views causing distortion can be "the land of milk and honey". Most Americans would think immediately of cow's milk and bee honey, yet...

I like this link on the topic...

Okayyyyyyy
If you could say one thing to your pastor what would it be? I mean anonymously. Would you let him know about something that irritates you? Would you praise him?
There are people who don't believe Jesus died for all so how do they go out into the world and proclaim the Gospel in all its sweetness and let people know that Jesus died for them?
It's already 47 degrees F this morning at 9:30 and what's weird is that the forecast says the high should only be 47 LOL I have a feeling it's going to get warmer now that the sun is out! Hiking weather!
Yesterday we had our street repaved and the guys did us a great favor by paving part of our driveway that was all cracked which saved us money from having to hire someone to redo it. These guys didn't have to go so far into our driveway like they did but I'm really grateful that they did...
Do you like to host parties? What kind of foods do you offer your guests? Do you force them to play getting to know you games? How about entertainment, do you have someone playing music in the background or come to sing?
