    This week is meant to be unpleasantly hot here too. This morning I got a run in and it was nice to be able to run without my heart rate going out of control on the hills. Maybe I'll get early runs in for most of the rest of the week too. That would be nice, keep the mileage up without the battle...

    That's a shame. I got my regular walk in today. We went to a local craft fair, then went to pick up some wood for my lathe, and then for a bite to eat and a beer with the friend who cut down the tree I harvested. I hadn't seen him for a while, so it was good to catch up. Going for a walk...

    I ran four miles yesterday in the humidity. I spent most of the run wishing I hadn't bothered.... but it keeps my belly in check. Which is just as well, given yesterday afternoon we went to a birthday party for our friend's granddaughter and ate rather too much.

    That's a shame. Is that a frequent problem? I remember you mentioned a botanical garden you liked to visit - is it the sort of place where you can walk further and he can sit in the shade and enjoy the plants?

    When God is leading...or not?

    I know this part wasn't directed at me, but I've often found that feelings alone can often be a great guide to what I want to do and not necessarily a very good guide to what God wants me to do. It would depend on what the issue at hand was. Many years ago I was talking to a pastor about his...

    When God is leading...or not?

    Feelings may be an guide or an early indication but if they aren't backed by anything else they could be dangerous. I've often said that if God is calling then God is quite capable of making the message as clear as it needs to be. If your feeling is that someone in your church needs $10 it's...

    My watch beeps at me if my heart rate goes too high. In the winter time it takes a bit to get to that stage and I can usually feel it based on effort before my watch beeps. In the summer it spends more time beeping at me, and I spend more time getting frustrated and walking to get my HR down again.

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    But, you know, as Proverbs clearly says anyone led astray is not wise. And, you know, taking a tiny little sip of wine at communion (like Jesus told us to) is the first step on the slippery slope of being led astray. Because, well, obviously. Duh.

    Today's exercise was a walk. I had to go to the hardware store a couple of times, not least because I got home after the first visit and realized I forgot something I needed. Then I needed something else, so combined it into another visit. After all that time was getting on and my legs were...

    But, but, but, that's the worldly way of justifying something that's BrAzEnLy DiSrEsPeCtFuL to God. Apparently.

    Three runs in three days. I had planned to walk today but the forecast for the next couple of days is for lots of rain, so I wanted to get another run in. Who knows, maybe the forecast will shift and I'll run again tomorrow.

    Prayer Thread for July 2026

    My unspoken from last month still applies. I'd prefer not to post details on a public forum, but I think at least some progress is happening towards it.

    Celebrating the 250th birthday

    An impromptu display last night. My wife and I went up to a nearby mountaintop to look at the stars and got treated to an impressive display of lightning from distant storms. When the storms got close enough to hear the thunder we decided to come home.

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    I had a beer (one single beer) last Sunday. I haven't had anything alcoholic since then. Apparently in the eyes of some that makes me a drunkard.

    I went for a run yesterday morning. It was pretty hot, by the time I got home my clothes were soaked with sweat to the point I could literally wring the sweat out of my shirt and shorts. It was the first run this year that I carried a water bottle with me. I ran four miles, much more slowly...

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    But wine doesn't mean wine. Because, well, obviously. It's a different wine. That's why it's called wine. And remember not to be like the world because, well, reasons. Oh yes, and you wrote Tomothy instead of Timothy so that invalidates your argument. Don't forget to not drink any wine.

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    If you had done any such thing we might have a productive discussion. But this is going nowhere, nuance is lost, and I honestly see little point continuing. Which isn't a surprise really, just about every thread I've ever seen along these lines usually ends up going the same way.

    What does the Bible say about "wine"? Are Christians to drink it?

    That's a gripping read I have to say, and is also totally irrelevant to whether Christians are prohibited from drinking alcohol in moderation. For one who wrote a lengthy post about logical fallacies the irony is, well, ironic.
