    Parting

    You didn't put any bible references, but the first one looks like what Abram said to Lot before they separated. But, that was not because of conflict, but because the land couldn't contain them both because of all their possessions.

    Saul and an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16

    Thank you for calling me a "youngin". Nobody has said that to me in many years. The references to milk and honey is made often in the Old Testament. If that is what you mean you are right about that. However this was a specific incident that I am referring to.

    An attitude of gratitude

    Philippians 4:8-10 says 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me...

    Disappearing Allergies?

    My biggest allergies are tobacco, pine trees and cat hair. And I grew up in an area known for pine trees and we had cats then also, so it was rather rough sometimes

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 6

    We didn't get any snow today, but it was very cold rain. Where I drove today the roads were not slick, so that is great.

    Saul and an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16

    There reference I am making is to 1 Samuel 14:24-30 24 Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food. 25...

    Women leading in song

    We do have a praise band that includes women who sometimes lead the congregation in song. We don't do chants. I haven't seen anyone do a reading outside of the sermon, so I don't know about that one.

    Saul and an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16

    Harmful would make sense. There are at least three times that I see him throwing a spear at either David or Jonathan his son. I think they wanted him to stay calm because they realized how rash and unpredictable he could be at times. An example would be when he said that nobody should eat...

    iBot Poll: What would be your circus job?

    I wouldn't do any of those. I like my feet firmly planted on the ground.

    Heat Settings

    Lately it has been around 66 degrees inside most of the day. Personally, I think that is a little cool. We don't live in as cold a place as many of you. We did have 9 straight days last winter where it never got above freezing.

    Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night, Good Day!

    the northern county where I work has a two hour school delay already in the morning. They are expecting the possibility of icy roads. A few degrees either way would make a big difference

    Saul and an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16

    14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. 15 Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you 1 Samuel 16:14-15 This event occurs immediately after David is anointed by Samuel as king in the place of Saul...

    Our entire congregation does sing along with this song.

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    I was really referring to personal preference. I don't get much out of the old hymns like you apparently do.

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    Yet, there are many of us including me today who are turned off by how boring and slow the traditional services and music are. The church I attend now has a traditional service. Less than half our members go to it. I think it would also be incorrect to say that all of the songs don't mention...

    Are you afraid? Thousand Oaks killings.

    I've heard a lot of stories about farm accidents. When I lived in Texas, a young man was killed trying to break a horse. He fell and the horse crushed his neck.

    Titles Used by Clergymen.

    This seems to be more of a cultural issue. In many places in the south the pastor is referred to as the "preacher" or "Brother _______". When I was growing up in Texas the pastors were known as Reverend. I think it is more about what your use to hearing others call clergy

    Are you afraid? Thousand Oaks killings.

    the reality of it is that there is no such thing as a completely safe place. You can get killed or hurt just about anywhere whether that is sitting in your own living room or an accident or domestic violence at home or driving to work or at a sporting event or church. We aren't promised a...
