    What are you up to?

    Did some guitar and singing at our local Applefest so as to give out Gospel of John booklets. Did not attract to many, but walking through the street afterward I gave all of my 47 booklets fairly quickly. Also had Romans road bookmarks in the booklets.

    What are you up to?

    Christmas season is a great time to give out Gospel tracts to checkout workers and others. Moments With the Book (mwtb.org) has some nice ones.

    Church Attendance

    Numbers in our Baptist church are at or above pre-covid numbers. Church is more than just a message!

    What are you up to?

    Spent all day yesterday digging out for a sump pump in a crawl space filled with wet red clay with my son. It was sort of like digging an escape tunnel in a POW camp! But got it done.

    What are you up to?

    Pancakes, some music, and church. Then later a Gospel Jam at church where I join in strumming a few chords. Then a dinner with friends from church.

    What are you up to?

    Old worn carpet is what poorer people might have. But if it is new and well kept, it is quite nice. In my son’s house there is new carpet in the living room and I found myself down on the floor playing with the grandkids, something I would not do on hard floors. In our old 60’s ranch, the first...

    What are you up to?

    Saturday is town dump day. Took a few large bags plus a large trash can with recycle stuff. Runs us about $6 a month which is not bad. Getting tools and materials ready for Monday when I help my son put a sump pump in a very wet, very muddy crawl space, a task I don’t look forward to! I will...

    What are you up to?

    Well, I am retired, with no regrets! I am involved in a jail ministry and Awana at church. And I don't sleep well, so retirement allows me to get in my naps. Otherwise I keep plenty busy. Today, I tried to fix my 2008 Toyota Corolla, replacing the neutral safety switch that seemed to go bonkers...

    What are you up to?

    This is a thread about what you are up to today or recently. It can be a bible verse. It can be the old car you are trying to fix. Or the weather. Or your grandkids. Or an illness. Or your recent anniversary trip. Or a recent church gathering. Or recent witnessing to others. Or whatever.

    Ukraine the bad guy?

    Why? To prevent them from being annexed back into “The New Soviet Union”.

    Ukraine the bad guy?

    Ukraine’s government is probably bad, but far less bad than Russia under Putin and his thugs. We need to support them.

    Is the earth really 6000 years old?

    Yes, I also believe that the earth was created in a ready-to-use form. Otherwise, it would have been a barren rock-scape filled with harmful radiation. The radiation was gone, thus giving the appearance of age by use of radiometric dating. Henry Morris, author of “The Genesis Flood”, also...

    Modern Christian Music Has DARK Secrets Nobody is Seeing...

    The hymns of old will always be relevant. And they can be done nicely in a little more modern format. Selah is a good example of this. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mSeuTVdK3hEgDX6Cx7kRl9Or0YTpze6HA

    There will be no Rapture!!!

    I think we can all agree that things are going to get tougher for Christians everywhere. Also we need to be ready to meet God when our time is up here in this world is up.

    Modern Christian Music Has DARK Secrets Nobody is Seeing...

    We used to support a local Christian radio station. They played 90s stuff like MW Smith, Amy Grant and some contemporray versions of hymns. They shared scripture and the message of salvation, and were prolife. Then, things changed with new management. They did not allow the prolife activity at...

    Modern Christian Music Has DARK Secrets Nobody is Seeing...

    Our retired pastor perhaps said it best: Much of Christian music today talks about "What Jesus can do for me" where as the hymns talk about "What Jesus DID for me on the cross". There are contemporary artists that sing the hymns. I have a playlist at...

    Global warming or upcoming ice age

    I have watched a few documentaries on the melting arctic ice. And this is causing a weakening of the jet stream. Which then raises havoc with the weather. Like 121 degrees F in Canada this summer. This makes me believe the Lord will return fairly soon. If this world is to be uninhabitable, it...

    For the men

    Yeah, a bit isolated but I make due. I have one close friend but he is not in our church and I talk to him once a month or so on the phone or go out to lunch. I do a jail ministry with a guy 20 years older than me that attends church with me - I would say I am closer to him than anyone else at...

    Out of tune with church music

    I go to church for fellowship and good solid teaching. Our church does very old hymns and occasionally something a little more modern. But I find the hymns to be wonderful, exclaiming what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    Fiance upset because I said hi to a coworker and called her Miss

    Not sure about the use of “miss”. I think a lot would depend on the context. But I will say this: If you want a happy marriage you should plan on not meeting up with, or phoning, or messaging other women, unless they are old enough to be your grandma. Once your wife realizes that you have this...
