    Anyone loves Honey?

    I love honeycomb. I have friends who keep bees who usually save me some each year.

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

    We had a bit of fog this morning and when it had lifted I went for a run. It didn't feel like a very good run, it felt like it was more of a struggle than it should have been, but somehow I clocked my second best 10k time. I have no idea how, but I'll take it. Got a few things to deal with at...

    Genesis 9:3 - The green light for endless slaughter?

    This is pretty much what I was thinking, although I'm less bothered about eating rabbit. The difference between "may" and "must" is one that gets lost in a lot of discussions.

    How much of the History you are taught do you believe?

    It is curious to see how ancient civilizations were able to build things like the pyramids, Stonehenge etc. It's easy enough to argue that you can do anything if you've got 20,000 slaves and a load of log rollers lying around idle but even that doesn't really explain the levels of precision and...

    What kind of race could you win?

    I'd be pretty good at a coffee drinking race. I could beat a lot of competition in a running race, if they were given concrete shoes and not allowed to take them off.

    Chariot of Fire

    I can see that, I just don't see how you get from the explicit statement that Elijah went up in the whirlwind to the implication he went up in the chariot. In the context of distractions trying to get Elisha to take his eyes off Elijah it seems to me the most obvious explanation is that the...

    Favourite Coffee Desserts?

    Back in the days when I had a bean-to-cup espresso maker I sometimes liked to pour a shot of freshly made espresso over vanilla ice cream. That was pretty good too.

    Chariot of Fire

    How do you get from "and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven" to implying he was taken in the chariot?

    Chariot of Fire

    It really annoys me when people preach overtly political messages, even if they are taking a stance I'd be minded to agree with. The one and only time in my life that I walked out of church during the sermon was for that precise reason. It was in the runup to the 2012 election between Romney and...

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

    I went for a run. I didn't really feel like running but decided to get out anyway. As it turned out I felt really strong today, and set some new personal bests. I clocked my fastest ever time around my entire route and also shaved a nice chunk off my best mile and best 5k. When I went out I...

    True, and if you get mold in nooks and crannies it's harder to clean it out again.

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

    Started a bit of preparation work ready for putting the metal back into place on my porch roof. I need to drill a hole through the outside wall of the house, feed cable through it to a new lighting point, then from there to another lighting point, then to a point for a light/fan combo. Then I...

    I saw the wet finger trick years ago when my parents had new windows installed. With practise you can get a pretty smooth bead of caulking without pressing it into place :) I hate the look of lumpy uneven caulking. If I'm replacing perished caulking and there's lumpy caulking nearby I'll cut it...

    I went for a longer walk this afternoon. My wife didn't want to walk so I did my 8-mile loop. I had thought to run today but I didn't sleep well last night and it felt like my legs really wouldn't thank me for another run after yesterday's. Maybe I'll run again tomorrow.

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

    Yick.... I did the caulking around one of our showers a while back. It was pretty grim and I noticed a few gaps in it (I'm tall enough to see the top all the way around the shower cubicle). It was fiddly getting the caulking gun into place but while I had it out I figured I might as well replace...

    Chariot of Fire

    Why did you see that implication? Elisha wanted a double portion of Elijah's anointing. Elijah said he could have it, as long as he didn't take his eyes off his master before his master was taken from him (excuse the slightly clunky language there, multiple references to "he" and "him" could...

    Sounds exciting. What sort of fixing up are you doing? My most recent purchase was a 5/8" drill bit 24" long to drill holes through my walls. I have yet to actually drill the holes and feed cables through them though.

    Should I take up painting as a hobby?

    Looks like a pretty solid effort to me.
