I think the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and, thus, conviction is the understanding of self. I think wisdom and understanding are harmonious, but not necessarily the same. Understanding is knowledge or education, awareness and ability, but wisdom is foresight or judgement and...

This is like sooo Sbackersmom. She says "and it seems we have quite a few married peeps who post is singles now (which is cool! :cool:), " like "Not that there's anything wrong with that". And then you followed it up with ".....and also people whose spouses have passed away" like "and...

I loved the Angela's Ashes clip. When I was a boy I lived for a time near an old man I befriended. He kind of looked like the headmaster in that clip. His house inside was a wreck. He lived alone and his house had papers and books all over the place. The house even smelled of paper. Thing...

Would I date myself? C'mon people. I have my standards. But, I've done it! I like to go to nice restaurants. I like to sit down to a nicely dressed meal. Last time I did this it was at Christmastime and I got a perfect lamb cutlet in a garlic and mushroom covering with a side of asparagus...

Check out the gun shows sometime.....

The pleasure's mine, M.

And I ain't setting the bar all that high myself.

Just be yourself!! Hello darkness my old friend....

My dad was blessed with a lot of wonderful traits, but he couldn't cook. It was awful. So, we ate a lot of canned soup and grits and processed foods - things you couldn't screw up. Most people said grace before a meal. If my dad cooked, we said grace AFTER we ate.

With my favorite winter coat! ....whoa. looks like I"ve put on a few....

I like fruit cake! What I do is take a hard brick of 2010 Clackstons fruit cake and cover with a juicy spoonfull of meatloaf. MMM MMMM. Nothing says Christmas like candied fruit, old bread crumbs and brown juice with a touch of catsup. Plus I feel like I've helped a cub scout somewhere. Of...

It's all good, dude. You did something you regret, you manned up about it, now you're good to go. You're hearing from people who wish the best outcome for you who understand issues like yours and it just could very well be that God Himself put you and them in a same place to hear from each...

What day is October 30?? Hmmm......It's something really important, but........ I know what it is!! It's your BIRTHDAY 2023!!

Besides that, I think Frank Sinatra is an accepted hymn in the Book of Concord. Here's a "serious" question I actually have concerning Confessional Lutheranism. I don't follow that denomination, but I am a foreign....uh, no.... a former Catholic and understood the concept of not only Biblical...

There was a period in my life when I had anxiety. Took many forms, it did. Uncontrollable fear I could only bear by moving around. Walking or running. Then I'd think I was having a heart attack because I couldn't catch my breath. Skipping heart beats. And then there's you. The tragedies...

Hi Rebekahgrace. I think most anybody can be friends here. In a way, I think our own anonymity, our dreamed up names, our lack of real pictures, is the master secret for providing not only our pathways to cross our multitudes of cultures, opinions, and appearances, but a central shared theme...

@Godsgirl1983, weren't we talkin about "memory" when you said this??

I just look up weird stuff. And too, looking up words can be deceiving with so many translations. So it's just for fun.

I loved Sirius. I got it free for a year when the company I work for rented a truck for me. It's gone now though. And I like things that shine. Shine is mentioned 68 times in the bible!

I believe simply bein' your lovely self and engaging in whatever forum discussion interests you is all you have to do! Easy peasy. You're at a great age, lots of people here from Canada so you're probably very relatable. The bonus is you've had a couple of years in a bible school so you can...
