    Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

    Iraq is looking for protection from Iran...so is jordan. Egypt doesn't want Hamas or Hezbolla in their country....Syria and Lebanon are ready to go on a rampage against them theirselves. Lybia? They are so worn out on the Houthi rebels that they hope Israel attacks them. Just about every...

    Men's Christian Leadership Conference Featured Male Stripper

    The Newsweek article said one pastor poorly vetted the guy swallowing a sword...he really didn't know what his act was. (Bad karma from the git go) Then the pastor kicking off the other was recently a pastor from Mars Hill church which was a total fiasco....and he has no room or standing to...

    Hand stitched using a saddle stitch...even the gold embossing of SIL's name was done with metal letters, a clothes iron and meticulously setting up the embossing and "tape" one letter at a time to get the spacing right. (Hard to un-emboss if you get it wrong) There's a LOT you can do by hand...

    Around here it's a minimum of a 90-120 minute drive to anywhere to get to a nice restaurant.... Doesn't mean that people don't know or don't like meals like that....but the talent pool for such things is low. There aren't many restaurants to start with that aren't fast food, fried chicken, or...

    This one was for my SIL and my wife's was very similar except with a "J" instead of a "B". I lined them with some nice cloth and included an interior pocket. Both women absolutely love their A5 journals. My wife refuses to bring hers to church because she doesn't want them other women to...

    That's a lot more difficult than you are suggesting. See, A woman starts her whining and carrying on about stuff at work....and I listen carefully but say nothing (because the last time she did that she got mad when I said something) and she gets mad again this time because this time I...

    Nope...I've been trying to figure it out my whole life...but I know a whole bunch of ways to make them mean.

    But but but.... This doesn't get my Muse to sit back on her chair.... She must be mad at me for something ....just like a woman...gets mad and storms off and doesn't tell us men what we can do to fix it.

    History of the Bible

    The largest set of "differences" is in the manuscripts of the New Testament....definite sermon notes inserted and paraphrasing of the original. By the second Century the Church leadership had noted that there sadly were differences between the various manuscripts in various places...
