So here's a happy subject, what do you enjoy doing? What are your hobbies? What fun things have you been doing recently?

:D

Music... and playing with my dogs. We play with the toy quite a lot. I usually win.

And there's this community of believers I like spending time with. Assorted cast of characters, but I'd say the vast majority are fun to be around.

That's all I got for now, but if things change I'll definitely keep you posted : )

I have started a new embroidery project - a tablecloth. I haven't done any embroidery for many years but this lockdown has given me both the time and the inclination. Being a bit out of practice I did a couple of tray cloths first and then started the more challenging tablecloth. I have also set up my music keyboard again and am trying to re-learn some tunes - easy ones.

@Pearl I'm sure you are thankful for eyesight still that enables you to do such intricate work. Some of us would struggle at working with fingers at such a close level and being able to see clearly what to do.

You're quite right farouk and I'm blessed to be able to do such things even if I can't quite achieve the standard I once could. And while I sew I can listen to music on my Kindle. Last night I found a really lovely set of worship songs played on the piano with lyrics on screen. I also like to read and spend time just sitting in my garden. Whatever I'm doing I know that God is with me.

@Pearl We are all so blessed; by God's grace we can count our many blessings.

So here's a happy subject, what do you enjoy doing? ...

Enjoy?!? -- I kinda been working while it's still day, and plan to relax afterward.

John 9:4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.

Maybe I have it backwards?

Well, there is indeed the joy of service...

"Service"?!? I'm working on the "Purse", "Bag", and "Sword" which we're supposed to employ for our self preservation. And although the "Purse" is a challenge, the "Bag" is difficult because it requires FOOD, FUEL, MEDICINE, and NECESSITIES, all stocked into the cabin. And even the "Sword" is not simple because it takes effort to structure a security system, and install "binary triggers" as necessary.

But many "pastors" neglect their families because they think that serving others is more important, -- when the FAMILY is the MOST IMPORTANT.

Well I been playing psp games lately, I like Lego games, Horror, Action, Baseball pretty much a lot of them. I got a Raspberry PI 3B+ for my birthday but haven't been able to use it much, I have RetroPi on the sd card and played SNES hames and NES. I also love listening to OTR Shows and listening to my Cassette player, record player and watch YouTube vids and Emergency on Channel 5.1. Spending time with my wife and my fur baby

One of the fun things I like doing is reading some of the banal comments on the forum and why people think that because they said it then it must be true.

Another fun thing I like is spending hours and hours and hours investigating a subject, delving into the background as well as scripture, reading maybe a dozen books on the subject and getting a well-rounded understanding of it and posting it here and then someone telling me I don't know what I am talking about.

That really gives me a laugh.

I enjoy being retired. Some days I am more tired than others but it helps that I don't have to retyre my car very often because I don't do much driving these days.
