    Tell me a random fact 🙂

    Contrary to popular belief, road runners are actually slower than coyotes. The average top speed for a desert coyote is 40 miles an hour, while a road runner averages about half at 20. And just for kicks, your average hedgehog only runs about 5 miles an hour - Sega's been lying to us for...

    Denominations are Inevitable

    My main concern with there being so many denominations, is that some of them are 100% adamant that they're completely right, and everyone else is wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if a few became so bold as to tell people that if they don't follow their group's rules, they'll go to hell for it...

    Uh Oh... Santa Didn't Leave You Anything. Why Not?

    I checked all the boxes, because they made me smile and laugh, which is one of the joys of Christmas. As for gifts, I didn't get many, but they were appreciated. My younger sister Lauren sent me an Amazon gift card in the mail, which I used to buy The Polar Express and three classic TV specials...

    Time for New Years resolutions!

    My one and only resolution every year, is that I no longer make any resolutions. In my opinion, that's just setting myself up for an easy opportunity to break them.

    What are you watching 😏

    I don't watch a lot of TV anymore, because so much of it has become either overtly crass or so PC it makes me want to throw up. That said, I am looking forward to the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again from Marvel. I hope they release it on disc though, because I have the first two seasons of...

    Are You Brave Enough to Post a Picture of Yourself?

    Here's a shot I just snapped with my webcam. :D

    Prayers Needed For My Cousin's Family...

    Hey, all. Please pray for my cousin Connie's family; she lost her battle with colon cancer 2 days ago. She left behind her husband Clayton, daughter Destiny, and 3 stepkids: Angel, Amanda, & Jason. Here's what I originally wrote on Facebook... It is with a heavy heart but also a grateful soul...

    Most People Who Claim to be Worthy Before God Are About to Prove to Everyone Who They Really are in a More Open Way

    God was pleased with both the world He had created and humanity as well, prior to the Fall...so therefore, we know it is possible for humans to make him happy. We can't do anything to make him love us any more than He already does, or less...but that's an entirely different discussion. Several...

    Truly Desperate...

    I'm doing a little better, compared to a few weeks ago. When I wrote my initial post, I purposely omitted the fact that I had re-embraced a porn addiction from my youth, not from any hate toward God but from desperation. It was only recently that I finally quit, and while the past week has not...

    Secular Music

    With due respect, you haven't been quoting anyone in your responses, so it can be difficult for some people to realize who you're addressing.

    Secular Music

    I certainly hope you're not using my intelligence to imply I'm on Satan's side, because if so you couldn't be more wrong.

    Secular Music

    On a similar note, here's a thread I made on the importance of being honest, regarding how each of us stands regarding the Ten Commandments. I used my own life as an example; I hope you are well informed by it...

    Secular Music

    While I admire your attempts to be more holy for God, I'd also like to point out it can become easy for any person to become corrupted by our own egos, and try to deserve or earn God's grace. He originally gave humanity just ten rules, that's it...but in a reasonably short time, their obsession...

    Secular Music

    Exactly; while I don't deny that music can certainly be used to promote evil (church tradition does say that Lucifer was once the leader of God's heavenly choir), I also think God gave us brains so we could use them and learn, not take anything blindly. Generally speaking, I tend to avoid 99% of...

    Secular Music

    I still maintain my initial view, that the lyrics of a song matter more than anything else. You could be standing on a stage wearing all-black clothes, half your body covered in tattoos...but if your music is honorable toward Jesus, that's the most important thing. People who pressure artists...

    Nice to connect with everyone

    As I've recently become fond of saying, "Welcome to the nuthouse; hopefully, you'll fit right in.":ROFL: As for art, what kind sparks your interest? I'm a Photoshop junkie myself, and I love pop culture, so I tend to dabble in fan art and such. My avatar and signature are both references to The...

    Hi

    Welcome, Jack; I like healthy debates myself. I personally got interested in apologetics almost 20 years ago, watching videos by Kent Hovind. I don't agree with his exclusivity stance on the King James Bible, but otherwise I think he's very smart. Another man I respect is Frank Turek, founder of...

    Hello!!

    Welcome to the family. We are all in a different place in our walk with God, but the important thing to remember is to do your best, always being pointed in the right direction. Don't others slam you for not going at their pace.
