    What Is Your Favorite Time Of The Day?

    Sunrise.... It's ALWAYS been the "magic hour" and watching the sun rise over the Sea of Gallilee was awesome stuff. It was at Sunrise when Adam and Eve talked with God in the Garden. It was at Sunrise Jacob wrestled with God and got the name Israel. It was at Sunrise the walls of Jericho...

    could you be an angel ?

    Hebrews (the book) says that Angels are ministering spirits. However Jesus called the Pharisees "you brood of vipers" and their Father was not Abraham but Satan. But they were supposed to be ministers of God. So.... In short. We can be devils or angels....we get to decide every day.

    Does Reputation Matter?

    Sampson's look/appearance superceded his reputation. But Paul and others say reputation matters. "Lead such lives that...." in Titus and Timothy and Peter.

    Has anyone tried pottery?

    Usually there exists a group in every city/community that centers around a supply house that will teach classes to encourage people to be potters and clay specialists. Pottery wheels and various styles and methods and clays are all explained and taught. The classes are not...

    Trump vying for Greenland and Canada

    People are talking about how resource rich Greenland and Canada is.... And my question is if they have so many resources why has no one exploited these resources yet? Let's get real here....no one leaves that kind of money on the table except as charity and the Danish are not known to be...

    Trump vying for Greenland and Canada

    Canada has rampant sex addicts and porn shops on every corner in the big cities.. Then there's the millions of illegal immigrants they let in just like most of Europe has done. Sure, gold, diamonds, lumber/forestry products, and oil is in Canada.....but it's going to require a buttload of...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    This house has 5 coal fireplaces. All with chimneys. The mortar is almost gone. It's not grungy. If you burn coal you periodically have to have them swept no different from burning pine in a fireplace. These days you need a catalytic converter installed on all new fireplaces to reduce...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    Coal burns hotter than wood and sometimes is available to buy cheap in your neighborhood. I don't recommend it as it tends to burn out the mortar between the bricks and its kinda dirty. But in this 1870's Victorian house I live in ALL the fireplaces are designed to burn coal (smaller...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    But.... Energy efficiency is cheaper than anything. Yes it takes a bit of capital. But insulation batting or blown in insulation in the attic can pay for itself in the first month of cold weather if you do it yourself. (Wear long sleeves, goggles, gloves, and a dust mask though) Even...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    I've been splitting wood after cutting it last year. (Seasoned now....burning green wood is a waste) We have an inset wood stove with a fan for blowing extra heat out of the stove. Then the ceiling fans so the heat spreads throughout the house. It can cook you out of the room you are in...

    Kerosene Heaters and the Like

    Kerosene heaters need to burn clean or else EVERYTHING is going to have a thick layer of oily soot on the surfaces. And even if it's not burning clean it still will leave a film on every surface in the house. It's combustion without exhaust. Then there is the monoxide and dioxide...

    AI Trolls?

    It is still just a glorified search engine. And that's a problem for those with proprietary information online. (And its a disaster of a mess for intellectual property rights) A person can create media using AI and it will search over the internet for the genre you have requested....not a...
