    Book Recommendations

    Hey guys! I'm resolving to read at least ten books this coming year, because I didn't read a single book this year and that seems wrong to me somehow. Here's an idea of some things I'd like to read: 1) Old school, theology rich books on our faith -- gritty and deep. 2) Books on cultivating a...

    Latest Observations

    1) So true. I tend to grant myself the harshest judgments and everyone else the highest grace. We're all in different places. 2) Also true. I've only made the slightest strides in changing this by immediately bringing my own sins to mind. But I still judge. 3) I can sit and observe passively...

    My Favorite Christmas Memory

    Ours was pretty good this year. My immediate maternal family (mom, stepdad, brother and I) had a falling out a couple years ago with her sister's family (my aunt, uncle-in-law, and her son and daughter) -- but this Christmas most of us patched it all up. My Aunt and uncle Jim came over and we...

    Prayer Cloths & Water

    I've always heard the Ark was in Ethiopia too. The Coptic Orthodox Church oversees it. The Eastern Orthodox have a church where Christ's body was laid, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

    Fire and Ice

    You can use water to make fire, too!

    Prayer Cloths & Water

    Not in all cases. I do think some of them get paid to perform.

    Prayer Cloths & Water

    God will be faithful to heal us through mediums such as prayer cloths and water, but the things we see on the Word Network are false. Blessings and healings aren't whored out for financial gain. They're freely given and freely received.

    The Great Porn Experiment (interesting)

    Sex with your wife is covenantal and sacramental. Porn ruins that in so many ways, and our sex-obsessed culture has trampled upon that so much that 90% of people think sex is a filthy act. It can be filthy, joining your flesh outside of a covenant or a sacrament as a means to gratify the flesh...

    Your favorite Christmas song

    I really do like all of the classic Christmas hymns, but I gotta say, this is probably my favorite Christmas song:

    Let's fast on the Christmas day

    My Mom would kill me. Plus it'd just make me look arrogant to turn down food while everyone else is shoveling the food down! Haha. I think it'd be awesome to have a fast with you all in January though.

    An Ode to Reba

    There once was a woman named Reba with all of the beauty of Bathsheba, but don't let her fool -- because if you break a rule -- she will pounce on your butt like a cheetah.

    An El Nino Year

    We've had one spurt of snow so far here in WV, not even a quarter inch of accumulation. Most of the days this season you've been able to walk around in jeans and a tee shirt. It's 64 degrees now and it's gonna be 71 on Christmas Day, with a little rain. What a nice Spring we're having this Winter.

    Cutting Straight

    Princess Bride?! Ted Cruz just lost points off his man card! Thanks for the laugh this morning.

    Good Sunday Morning

    A little Wednesday morning jam for you. I'll just be over here in the corner crying.

    Cutting Straight

    Ouuuucccchhh. I nearly cut off my left index fingertip. It was just hangin' there as I drove to the ER. I did it in the dumbest way possible. I tried to cut open a packaged chicken breast with a knife that had no point, but a serrated edge. A bread knife. "Just try to push it through and let the...

    Cutting Straight

    Aww, man. I clicked on this thread hoping for some practical life wisdom about always cutting straight, cutting against the grain, and it ended up being about razors. Baloney!

    I Am Done With Church

    While we on these forums so often get caught up on doctrine and theology squabbles, I'm glad to see a mention of real Christianity being practiced. This is what Jesus called "religion."

    I Am Done With Church

    There's a lot to love about it. But with apologies to my Ortho brothers and sisters, there's also a lot not to. Much love to you and yours this holiday season bro Jethro, we don't chat a whole lot on these forums but I continue to see you as a mentor and voice of reason. :nod
