    Yes, definitely more space out there. I lived in Las Vegas though and did not like it! But there's definitely more options than just the desert. But I'm very happy here in the East coast now.

    Hi @dhh712 ; I can understand that ppl would not like everything about Las Vegas. But it's a city I would like to visit, anyway; mountain scenery nearby; museums; lots of competitive hotel accommodation; and of course many tattoo parlors with all their portfolios of artwork. (Maybe you saw some when you lived there.)

    @dhh712 Sorry that someone seemed to be giving you a hard time; I know you are still hurting badly from your bereavement. Psalm 46.1

    Thank you. I don't understand how believers can think we have the ability to not sin in this life. It's impossible. That's why we need a Savior.

    John in his First Epistle says, "we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous". (This is very different from continuing in sin, that grace may abound.)

    That's why I couldn't go back to Christian Forums because it's just too difficult, but I really missed those discussions; the other two forums I visit to talk about religion --City Data and Puritan Board--are just not the same. CD is too mean and PB is kind of boring actually as much as I hate to admit it. There's just not that much activity on there.

    @dhh712 Sorry for your loss, indeed. Some of the Reformed threads can get rather tedious and heavy with what amounts to legalism, or with the mindset of reading logic into Scripture, rather than letting Scripture produce its own extrapolations in the Bible student...

    I saw the movie Killer Angels, which I think was set in Gettysburg....

    There was a time in Spring/Summer of 1863 especially after Chancellorsville when they had the best hope of winning. Jackson dying I feel really felled them. He was a great human strength to the South (but they did idolize him and Lee, as they only should idolize God). Jackson was uncomfortable with that and strove to put them on the right track.

    The other way it could have gone is if the South had kept up their momentum and string of victories after Chancellorsville and then the North may have grown war-weary and it's people have sued for peace. I think Jackson's death affected that and the South may not have lost Gettysburg if he had been leading the Corp there.
