If you have "Tri-Care", I am pretty sure you already have it. Check with your agent, and jump on that fantastic deal if you can.

Have you looked into any of the insurances that offer FREE Silver Sneakers membership?

Yes, as I said most people believe, "The only correct way to interpret the Bible is the way I have."

I am 73. I have had a stroke, one knee replaced, lost the tip of one thumb, and they tell me I will be effectively blind in about two years. (My computer is set to a "ZOOM" of 150% for everything.) But, my wife and I both hit the "Y" three times a week. They have classes there that really help.

We all would do well to remember that Jesus, Himself, was always withdrawing to remote places.

Seriously, actually READ what I wrote, instead of seeing if you can work up an argument about something. There is not one of those things Catholics present without what they feel is Scriptural verification. And we cannot dispute that obvious fact... We can ONLY dispute their interpretations of...

In some ways, a sadly narrow view of God, but if it is the best you can do at this time, it certainly is a start in the right direction.

Just do the work necessary to help her to never become a "proof-texter." That is no more than a modern day Pharisee. All the verses of the Bible must fit together for us and spell out the WHOLE story.

When it comes right down to it, I think we invent most of the things we become upset about, and that the specific verses we fight over really have nothing to do with Jesus' basic message of salvation.

One of the bug-a-boos of being old, and into the Bible since third grade, is coming to the realization that, cleverly manipulated, selected verses (often MANY of them) can be used to make the Bible sound like it is saying almost anything anyone wants it to say. This very thing is what fuels the...

Catholics back up just about EVERYTHING they believe with Scripture. BUT... most Protestants are not willing to accept their interpretations of those Scriptures. However, they are STILL very clearly and (in their views) accurately backed-up. What do we do with situations like that?

Net Chaplain does this flooding on a regular, scheduled basis. I see the same thing he posts on at least six different forums. (His sermon for us.... one every single week of the year.)

I think this is understandable and reasonable when the C/P is short and is used as a "starter" segment of prose or "thought" that is then elaborated upon by others. After all, that is exactly how we often use Scripture on here.

To do #-1, we have to admit that someone else's opinion of Scripture could take presidence over ours. Are YOU (any of you) really willing to accept that? Truth be known, none of us are.... because we would not believe what we believe if we did not believe OUR interpretations (opinions) were...

The "Mary" reference is also one of the things Foster brought up.

That very point is part of learning to meditate.

Amadeus, He is too far beneath a man like you to even bother stooping to try to help him.. But, I know you are God's man, so of course you still will.

Your final comment is one and the same as exactly what Foster said in his book. Meditation seems to be so much more than just pondering on a certain piece of Scripture.

If you feel meditation is an Eastern Religion hang-up, this is no thread for you. These are but a few thoughts Richard Foster gave on Christian meditation. A beautiful kind of contemplative prayer is meditation upon the creation. Now, this is no infantile pantheism, but a majestic monotheism...
