I haven't been here for long or had a lot of time to interact, but in the moment I have, this thread caught my eye. Men and women both have better outcomes when they define what they want and aim for that. It takes courage and effort, neither of which was necessarily instilled into us from our...

I'm a bit late to this party, but after having a nice young man distractedly total my old car by rearending it so hard the dash radio jumped out and my back and neck sustained a huge whiplast, I had pain that was awful. After 7 decades of being mostly healthy and pain-free, this was a tough...

Of course, and thanks for sharing it here. I admit I was hoping for something that tied in the list from Leviticus 23, because I find the history of man's experience as it is recorded in Scripture to be fascinating and amazingly applicable to my life, but if that's not on your purview at the...

When asked about symptoms like depression and fatigue, which often go together, I'm in favor of checking physical causes, like having a physical exam and blood tests. I'm also in favor of focusing on health-building foods, since our bodies need more nutrients in times of stress, and our...

No argument there. My question was if anyone was studying what was originally given (since God doesn't change). If so, I was curious what they were learning from it. I was hoping for some rich discussion about how it more fully fleshes out what we see in the NT Messiah in light of how He...

Some general comments from reading this thread: I have wondered whether Adam could have changed the outcome by having a quiet discussion with Eve about the benefits of serving the God Who made them instead of doing something He told them distinctly not to do. I wonder today whether many...

Funny timing, as I recently broke fast from the Day of Atonement. Has anybody had interest in Leviticus 23? I was impressed to learn that those are God's "appointments" with us. It's made a fascinating study to try to "observe" these for the past several years, but I've learned a lot about...

Could it be that the end result is obedience, and the law remains to define what obedience looks like when we are led by the Holy Spirit Jesus gave us?

Just wondering if anyone pays any attention to the appointed days listed in Leviticus 23 for the purpose of study? I started doing this maybe a dozen years ago, and I had to start on my own, because so few people around me seemed to read much in the old testament. I got to thinking maybe God...

I"m always up for another friend. I'm at the age where many friends age out. That's when I realized it was ME being the old one in the group, lol! After a decade of that, I decided to embrace it, especially since "they" didn't get to. Life is a wonderful gift and so are friends.

So I caught up on many of the posts, and now I'm hungry for cheese with peanut butter spread on it.

I must have missed that post. It's an absolute wonder what that peanut butter machine can do to whole peanuts. And the other nuts are great "buttered up" like that too. One particularly useful friend who loved to eat with my family would spend 20 minutes getting the next store-bought jar...

Greetings, fellow single people. I'm old enough to remember the 1960's, and yes, we were all influenced by the instability to the point that many of us simply expected Jesus to return momentarily, because things were that bad. Looking back over the 60+ years to how bad things are today, I've...

A plant-based diet is great, and it's what I tend toward most of the time (legumes, grains, and vegetables). I enjoy it immensely and it's fine for the budget. It's also highly recommended like RRCN pointed out. But it's not a Biblical diet, so it may be a hard sell to a lot of Christians...

I just joined today. I'm not sure if I'm really an old lady, but most people identify me that way, and the mirror agrees with them more often than not. And I've had a lot of years to ponder the question.

Dates or figs....not to worry. What IS important to be found doing what He told us to do. It could be quite soon and we would be unwise to think we can play around first and maybe get serious about obedience later.

I am old, but I'm new in town. My recollection of the last half-century of my adulthood is like this: We thought for a while that the godly thing to do was spend other people's money on social equalizing gestures. Then we seemed to get miffed that able people were depending (banking, even...

Interesting discussion. I've long wondered if niacin, which is also called nicotinic acid, is related to the nicotine compound in cigarettes, one of many substances that make cigarettes so addictive. Apparently our human bodies need niacin in multiple functions in our body, including...
