I would say, practice a little every day, but don't just practice the same old things, keep learning something new. What has helped me progress is to learn new songs with chords I've never played before. As you go along, you'll come across other songs which use those "new" chords too and you can...

We used to travel around and sing at churches etc. This was recorded like 12 years ago

He is really good on mandolin.

My son is on guitar/lead singing here. But he can play every instrument in this band proficiently; plus a few more.

I'll have to upload it to youtube

My son playing mandolin in our living room...

I found if I put it down too long, my calluses get softer.

Yes, we all do.

Here's another example of "devising our way"..... Genesis 3:6 6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did...

Be that as it may, but not always Example: Joshua 24:15........as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth...

No, God "directs" people's steps. Big difference. Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way but the Lord directeth his steps. In other words We decide the path we want to take, but God directs the events and outcome of our decisions....andcontrols the consequences.

Seems like you may be confusing "unmerited favor" with "unconditional election"? Not sure. If not, then I don't know what you mean. If so, please know that I consider every petal of the "tulip" to be false doctrine. i

I don't see any essential conflict between the meanings "goodwill", "unmerited favor" or even "kindness". The fact that God's particular "goodwill is "unmerited" is because we did nothing to deserve it.

My wife and I have gone through some really rough spots too. It's much better now. Don't give up hope! Several years ago, I rented the movie "Temple Grandin". I probably watched it 3 times and cried every time. I didn't know why at the time but, maybe God was preparing me/us for things to...

Yes, there is "ruling", "obeying". disrespect, nagging, arguing and physical abuse and all that; a constant battle for control in marriages all over the world as we speak. But God's model in Proverbs 31, and for New Testament Christians, is for wives to do the submitting and obeying willingly...

No, Proverbs 31 is a model, an example for us as to how a Christian family is supposed to be. I never said it was common nor did I say it existed. But this is the model of a family which God WANTS people to have. If He didn't he wouldn't have put it in there for us to read. It's our choice...

I strongly disagree. Punishment was not a factor in the "Proverbs 31" family. In this model family, the wife was an entrepreneur and had full freedom to do things like making and selling goods, buying real estate: She even had servants. Her husband and children praised her. That is a family...
