Evil ideas cannot be overcome by violence, not even the destruction of those promoting them. The ideas will always remain. If God had in the beginning destroyed Lucifer his rebelliousness would have been validated. His reasons for setting up an opposing government to the kingdom of God would...

Lol. Yes. Done a few u turns. To pick up and drop off. Particularly enjoy the excursions like the three hour drives to remote camping sites and sporting events. Been a very busy first term... All schools doing their excursions and events as quick as possible before any future covid lockdowns...

I'm going to perhaps be a little provocative here, but maybe this kind of thing is the very best thing that could happen to the church. Remember history. Jerusalem was surrounded by Roman armies. The armies withdrew for a short period and the Christians I'm Jerusalem saw this as a fulfillment...

I wanted to be a forest ranger. But I had no education in borany, forest management or any other related subjects... Started work in a bank. Hated it. Then clerk for an oil company. Then factory worker. Back to oil company as storeman. Then bus driver. All the above over a period of about 15...

There's a simpler way. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. That teaches that black lives matter. Have no respect of persons. That teaches that you favor no-one above anyone else. KJV Matthew 7:1 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Do not think yourself better than other men...
