    Celebrating the 250th birthday

    I'm honestly not sure. Tonight we're celebrating my granddaughter's birthday - she turns 16 tomorrow but our daughter can't get the day off work so we're celebrating her today. I think she has to work on Saturday as well, which is a bit of a drag. There's a fair chance we'll sit on our front...

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    ... and another wall of words that proves precisely nothing. Well done.

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    ... and here come the same tired arguments presented over and over and over again. You can misapply verses to "prove" pretty much anything you want to "prove" Ultimately what your argument is boiling down to here is a few verses pulled out of context and a vague "don't be like the world, the...

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    You know it's possible to have a glass of wine without it ruling your life, right?

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    Lots of words to turn something into something else. Throw in a little bit of implied assertion without a shred of evidence and you've almost got yourself some circular reasoning. In the meantime I think I'll continue to enjoy the things God created, in appropriate moderation. But thanks for a...

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    So it looks like what we have here is 73 pages of text that says you can drink wine, fermented or otherwise, if you want to. But don't drink too much of the fermented kind. That said too much of the unfermented kind may cause digestive problems of its own so that's also probably best avoided.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Today's exercise involved rearranging a bunch of stuff in my woodshop, which freed up more space than I expected. It helped that I found some wood that's kinda manky so I decided to put it in the burn pile rather than the "keep for later" pile. Then I went for a walk. It's very muggy out there...

    Maundy Thursday?

    I've heard that before, to be honest I'm not sure I'm buying it.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    A gentle 10k this morning, that resulted in my sweating so much I wondered if there would be anything left of me by the time I was done. Not a particularly hard run, just a hot morning.

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It was cooler today so I took the chance to get a long run in. My watch had a challenge to run a 15k during June, and today was the day. I felt pretty good, which surprised me. I'd gone out expecting to alternate running and walking but aside from a comfort break at the local store I ran the...

    Are UFOs the advancement of our secret tech?

    It's really hard to know. My guess is they will be related to some kind of coming deception, although whether the origin of that deception is human or the deception referred to in (I think) 2 Thess 2 is another matter.

    FIFA World Cup

    If you can find anyone less interested in the World Cup than I am, I'd be intrigued to meet them.

    Garlic? Yay or Nay?

    I've never worried too much about a bit of leftover garlic smell unless I'm expecting to get particularly close to people. A few times I've met a friend for lunch after a run, when I don't have time to take a full shower. I'll clean up so I'm not dripping sweat and don't smell, but I'm not...

    Today was the third day in a row that I ran. The last couple of days were a struggle because I really don't do well when it's hot and humid. Today was much less humid, so I was running a clear 30 seconds per mile faster than the last couple of days without feeling like it was too much of an effort.

    watered down sermons

    Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27, NKJV) There is a Biblical case for adoption, although "visiting" orphans and adopting them into your family are different...

    Garlic? Yay or Nay?

    Garlic is good. It's got a good flavor and is really good for you as a bonus. I don't know that I'd choose something loaded with garlic at a dinner where I needed to make a good impression. In a formal business setting I'd avoid garlic and if I was on a first date wanting to impress someone I'd...

    That's an interesting definition of hiking.... I've always regarded more or less controlled terrain as a walk and anything wilder as a hike. So if I walk on the roads or the sidewalks then it's a walk however far I go, and if I'm walking on trails in the woods it's a hike however short. I've...
