    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...

    Very gentle run today. My legs are really slowing down with the combination of walking/running and doing all the work on the house.

    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...

    How do you manage your cholesterol?

    I've never really worried about it. It often seems to me that target ranges shift downwards, thereby pushing lots of people out of range and into "needs medication" territory, meaning more profit for the pharmaceutical corporations.

    My watch is an older Garmin Forerunner, I've had it five years now. I can configure it so my phone talks on its behalf. I don't care for that, it beeps at me when I lap (and it's set up to auto-lap every mile), it beeps at me if any metrics go outside the desired range (which usually means my...

    At church yesterday my youngest two granddaughters usually sit either side of me (one between my wife and I, one between my daughter and I). For the singing they stand on the pews so they can see the words on the screen. The youngest, who is six, often wants me to pick her up and hold her. My...

    For me right now it's hard to know whether my muscles are aching because I'm getting older, because I was swinging my grandchildren around, because I've been running, or because I've been working in confined spaces pulling cables and connecting stuff over my head. I've told my daughter she...

    I've been keeping regular runs and walks in, mostly gentle runs just to log the miles. I've been doing a lot of electrical work in confined spaces which is quite demanding on my leg muscles so sometimes my legs complain if I try and do that as well as running. Today my arms ache as well. I...

    Does your church have a constitution and bylaws?

    Our church has a basic constitution that describes this sort of thing - the definition and structure of the leadership, how someone becomes a leader, how long they serve, how many consecutive terms they may serve, how long a break they need to take between periods in leadership, how people apply...

    Maundy Thursday?

    My understanding is that traditionally the Passover meal is eaten after sunset on the 15th day of Nisan. Reading the accounts of the Last Supper, Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane etc it appears that Peter's denial probably takes place after dark given the people warming themselves around a...

    Does a 'Thought for Thought' translation or 'Dynamic Equivalence' make a difference?

    In this specific case it seems that saying the seventh day is a Sabbath is more accurate, given there are the seven annual Sabbaths that you mentioned yourself. In some instances the difference between a definite article and indefinite article is a crucial distinction. I'm not sure that's the...

    Government monitoring through vehicles?

    I read an article some time ago about a guy who got into trouble with the law for the heinous crime of taking some empty cans for recycling. Some of the empty cans were empty beer cans and apparently an overzealous cop determined the empty beer cans counted as "open containers of alcohol" and...

    Government monitoring through vehicles?

    My guess is that within a few days there will be a way to bypass it.
