    You were out of shape physically

    I had a few annual checkups when my doctor said I was overweight. I knew I was overweight. Then I took up walking daily, then got faster and then got into running to get a bit faster still. I'm not an elite athlete and never will be but way better than I was two years ago.

    Your next door neighbor

    We get on with both our neighbors. We share a driveway with one family and get on well with them. The guy who lives the other side is a few years younger than us and we like him too. He and I talk and laugh about our respective house projects. My project is bigger than his projects, but...

    The temperature in your house/apartment

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. We keep ours much lower than most people I know, about 65 or 66. Sometimes my wife gets cold and turns it to 67

    Okay to put kids in trunk of car?

    Keeping windows open isn't a great suggestion if it's freezing cold outside, or raining hard, or she has to drive through a high crime area. As you say there are so many unknowns and if she has bought into the "sky is falling" narrative and ended up afraid of her own shadow it's easy to see why...

    What does a call for a pastor look like?

    My church has a pastoral search committee that is looking for someone to replace our pastor, who is retiring within the next couple of years. The process involves finding candidates and getting to know them before the congregation is presented with any options at all. I'm not familiar with the...

    The Vaccinated are MORE Susceptible to Omicron

    Just about everybody I know who has had the virus lately has been vaccinated against it. My wife and I aren't vaccinated and, since we had the virus nearly two years ago, haven't even had a cold. A friend who had it around the same time we did is the same - unvaccinated and apparently in better...

    Okay to put kids in trunk of car?

    Doesn't necessarily mean anything. A girl I knew as a child grew up to become the head of science at the school where she taught but despite that was still confused how to lay her own child down to sleep, based on the conflicting and endlessly changing advice handed down from on high. If a...

    Doxastic voluntarism and involuntarism

    I suppose a lot would depend on whether the belief in question aligned with life experience, and how significant a belief would be with regard to my daily life. For example, do I believe that there's a person named Lucian Hodoboc who frequents certain internet forums? Well, someone with that...

    Real Life Influencing Dreams

    Had things like that happen a few times. I remember in my teenage years I had an alarm clock that was just a single note whine, quite high pitched. One night I was dreaming I was in a car (probably as the passenger, I don't think I was old enough to be driving myself) when, for no reason at all...

    Okay to put kids in trunk of car?

    I think it's a stupid thing to do but, given the endless blathering from On High about how it's So Very Important to keep away from people who test positive it's not entirely surprising someone figured it was a good way to Keep A Safe Distance. Unintended effects of legislation and official...

    The Vaccinated are MORE Susceptible to Omicron

    It's really hard to figure out, given the way so much "disinformation" has proven to be true over the last couple of years. Whether it be seroprevalence studies, the lab-leak theory, whether cloth masks are effective, the list just seems to keep on growing. Now we're told it's a "pandemic of...

    Plans for 2022

    Hoping for an end to the growing silliness and theatric posturing around this virus. Aside from that, pretty much more of the same.

    Attendance at local church

    There's no reason you can't read the Bible and worship on your own. That said if you are accountable to others you will have a more stable growth, not least because you're less likely to go off the rails with weird interpretations of Scripture. If you're doing your own study the chances are...

    UK Nurse wins lawsuit to wear cross

    I'm not sure that there's anything in the Christian faith that requires people to wear crosses. That said if a "health and safety risk" can be mitigated by increasing the length of a chain to conceal what is on the end of it, it's hard to see just how substantial a risk the cross actually...

    Eating meat sacrificed to idols?

    A lady I knew at a previous church was a former Hindu who had previously kept an altar with Hindu idols in her house. When she became a Christian it sounded like it wasn't a trivial process to have it all dismantled and removed.

    Should Psalms be used to support doctrine?

    For good measure they can throw Ps 103:3 into the mix. Never mind the context of who wrote it, the situation surrounding it etc, it clearly says what it says so let's stand on it. Then we get to wonder why it didn't work. (Edited to add quote, as there were posts I didn't see between the quoted...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Went for a run yesterday. Didn't feel the best but times were OK, if slower than before Christmas. Today it was cold so I went for a walk with my wife instead. The last few days I've ripped some more laths out of a space I've been working in, bagged up another 100lb or so of...

    CoronaVirus

    There are many reasons to oppose vaccine mandates, especially for this particular vaccine. Since it is clear that the vaccine doesn't prevent the vaccinated from spreading the virus the societal benefits are minimal at best. Therefore there is no reason to mandate it "for the greater good". In...
