My wife will turn 60 soon; I guess I'm not too far behind; we also have had our health issues for quite a while...

Just goes to show that there should always be plenty of scope for prayer and Scripture activity. :)

Thanks for the comment! BTW, do you really think that these days it's a sign of rebellion? because as the OP quote says, so many dads have them now in some areas; and then also if mom thinks it's a good idea for a young man to do, then when the young man does it, it's hardly rebellion against...

Some women my age - without my health issues - would be able easily to out-perform me in what they can achieve in such an event... :)

Quite an age range there...

My point was to make the discussion doctrinal, referenced from Scripture. I myself would not particularly use the term Reformed about myself.

Oh no I wasn't saying that you were using it as a term of abuse. Just that some ppl do. It refers to Biblical doctrine, I believe. And often ppl don't know what they mean by the words they use, although you yourself have clearly read a great deal about it. Blessings.

@Lady Crosstalk Back a bit you said: I agree about the principle; my observation also would be that these days few would be really offended if young ppl of either gender receive studs in their earlobes; it really is rather widespread, isn't it?

If we look at John 6 carefully, for example, we see that there is good evidence for BOTH the sovereignty of God AND human responsibility.

Thanks. (Anyway, I guess it's not an earth shattering subject...) Do you think maybe your grandsons hesitate to do it because they think their family members might not like it? or maybe they don't really sense much peer pressure in their area to do it in any case? (In some areas nearly all the...

I do strongly believe in the value of general congregational meetings; though it's true that some ppl can feel overwhelmed in a large as opposed to a small group.

Yes, it's a good way to encourage ppl in the Scriptures. :)
