    When fasting, how do you keep your mind off food?

    If going without food entirely causes you problems, why not try a "lesser" form of fasting, where you go without one part of a regular meal rather than skipping the meal entirely? When you refer to fasting are you talking about skipping a single meal or going without food for an extended...

    When fasting, how do you keep your mind off food?

    I guess it's easy for me because there are times I get so focused on something I forget to eat. If my wife goes out for the day without me she always tells me to remember to eat. Sometimes I actually do remember, other times I get late into the afternoon before I noticed I'm hungry. If you can...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    My suggested workout was 36 minutes at a low intensity, but I have an outstanding monthly challenge that required 46 minutes of running before the end of the month. So I ran my suggested workout and just kept going for an extra 10 minutes. I got some extra distance, and finished up my challenge...

    Another run today, 4 miles of running and then a mile and a half of walking.

    Yesterday was a really nice day for a walk in the woods. We covered about five miles, the route is usually longer but we cut a bit off because there's an enormous tree down across the path. It's far too big for any of my power tools to cut, and it turns what should be an easy section into an...

    My wife and I are planning to do another hike today. I ran yesterday, a moderate 4 miles, and plan to run again tomorrow. So a hike at her pace in between serves as a chance to get out in the woods with her, and also lets my legs take it easy for a day.

    Lost dogs where you live?

    In my immediate area, very seldom. In the nearby town it seems there are posts about dogs roaming free all the time, including several mentions in the same area of dogs killing cats and chickens. I carry pepper spray when I'm running because I've had dogs run out at me a number of times. Mostly...

    How many people on here like the whole Q Continuum idea on Star Trek?I do.:)

    I was always more into Star Wars, although kinda lost interest in it after episode VII. I liked the original three, thought The Phantom Menace was truly dismal, liked Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, only vaguely remember the seventh one, and don't know anything after that.

    The hike we chose was clear, although a little muddy in places. The walk I like to do involves the north side of the mountain, which is usually slower to lose the snow and ice. I'm more careful with that one, having been caught out before. I got part way down the descent on the north side...

    Did you know God can grant wishes?

    God can grant wishes, we call them prayers. Sometimes God grants them and sometimes he doesn't. It's not like some cosmic vending machine where you put in the prayers, pull the lever, and call 1-800-BAD-PRAY if you don't get what you asked for though, whatever the kooks in the word of faith...

    At what point do you decide to visit a new church?

    It can, but if it's someone's only "church" then they aren't really gathering with other believers or engaging in fellowship. It has a lot of potential to turn a commitment to a community into little more than another consumer product.

    It's an advantage to moving a lot, although it can be dangerous through the winter when the sugary treats are in full abundance and reasons to not go out and exercise abound. Yesterday my wife and I went for a walk in the woods. We did a little over six miles over rolling hills. Now the snow...

    I seem to be in better shape than most people my age. I won't complain too loudly about it, although it does take work. My voracious appetite for pretty much anything with sugar in it doesn't help though.

    At what point do you decide to visit a new church?

    Streaming is all well and good but the person sitting at home streaming is never really part of the church community. It's a way to sample what a church offers before visiting but beyond that feels like a poor substitute to actually attending church.

    I needed about 5 miles of running today to complete a challenge, so I ran a 10k to make sure I got the steps I needed. Not a hugely fast 10k, but enough to work up a bit of a sweat.

    I got some running in the last couple of days. I've found if I run my full 5 mile route I don't get enough steps, so often I run 4 miles and walk the last mile and a bit, which gets me close enough to 10,000 that it's easy enough to fill in the gap. It's surprising how much work my core muscles...

    Do Christians need struggle to grow?

    I don't know that struggle is necessary for growth but certainly a lot of growth can come through struggles.

    At what point do you decide to visit a new church?

    If you're talking about visiting a new church in the context of looking for a new church home, i.e. leaving my existing church, it would take quite a lot to get me to do that. If the nature of the church has changed to the point I don't believe that I or my family are being fed I'd look to move...

    Nothing really noteworthy, although I got something of a workout in addition to walking and running. A friend nearby had a large tree cut down, and I'm on the lookout for wood for my lathe. So I hauled a load of wood back to my garage. Then the following morning I went back with my chainsaw and...

    Novel arguments for God's existence.

    A multi-page wall of words is great but it kinda shuts down discussion, not to mention being totally irrelevant to the topic of whether persuading an AI bot of anything is a useful achievement.
