This stop, Crystal organized an entire getaway weekend without telling us anything. day 1 The 1st stop was the hotel we dropped, literally not too good. We’ve walked in and out of hotels before based on first impressions or even a hunch. The 2nd stop, after a few calls and websites, was the hotel we liked better. It was nothing fancy, but it was cleaner, had more amenities, and offered a suite option. True story: 2 hotels with the same... Read more

Now, there are so many ways to communicate shared meaning. My youngest and I often watch a video... Read more
neither here nor tHAIR | tea time on my watch Today’s selection is a French Roast, locally sourced. Although French and Italian are usually a little smokin’ hot for me in flavor and aroma, this particular French Roast is entirely smooth. FYI: Some baristas recommend French or Italian for creative maestros who operate Espresso makers, if they run out of Espresso coffee. Anyone remember your preacher saying? . . . “If you change your hair color, and then come to... Read more
No singular Christian group needs to rule the whole ekklesia, ethics pt. 10 Again, Paul is establishing an ethically normative principle. Refrain from judging the judgment/discernment of other Christians too quickly. For a brief on conviction: Romans xiv.1 & COIN, ethics pt. 9 One never knows what a fellow Believer is picking up on. As we delve into an ethical concern facing the Romans, we pause again to define where the issue lies with the Judaizers, in order to attempt... Read more
Romans xiv.1 & COIN, ethics pt. 9 This particular article is a carryover from the previous one, revised. The hope was to set the stage for some of the language in this NT Passage, words easily misconstrued. I sincerely hope I reflect a responsible interpretation, especially of the oft misunderstood term Judaizers. Please before proceeding with this particular Word Study, do not miss the importance of distinguishing aNE terms like Judaizers which are in effect “dead” like we would say... Read more
I personally don’t know exactly why the original format seems different. The intent was to review some literature and then perhaps offer some Biblical ideas either before or afterwards, only as a way of answering questions Christians sometimes have about other source materials for ethical decisions. However, some works are a work in progress. I do not know how to revise the words. I have attempted already. There are some lines I try not to cross. Pre flood is one... Read more

“Tarshish sent merchants to buy your wares Wares can seem neutral, possibly can be something beyond like trinkets, maybe even charms. I would’t read to much into it. It’s not quite like angels una|wares, and it may not be as bad as spilling the beans or spilling the entrails to read, but in this passage it’s something to be a|ware of. Apparently it’s as if our Lord is saying your wares are diminished Tarshish; in this case. in exchange for... Read more
