Yes, the time allotted to us. I am reminded of King Hezekiah who being told by a prophet that he was to die forthwith, went into prayer and asked God for extension. It was granted and 15 years were added. I have always thought that he would have been better off to simply accept what he has been...

Yes I listened to the video later after reading and responding to some of the posts. Mostly that video and your responses here have instigated in me the incentive to look deeper. I have gone back to some of my old studies and worked on it for a while this morning before starting in here...

Thank you for the apology and your explanation.

That is one name I don't recall checking before. In other cases the meaning of the name has been quite significant. If this is, I am unable to see it. Do you have any ideas?

Give God the glory!

It is good to see you here again, Grams. There are a few here who will remember you. May God will bless all of your visits here.

Thank you!

Aha! I remember my own paper delivery days. I was not a child but married and newly transferred on my government job from a city in California where it never snowed to Rock Springs, Wyoming. It was our first winter in Wyoming and the rest of my family's first winter anywhere with snow. [I had...

There is still a "Dear Abby" column in our local paper but I believe the original columnist is long since gone with only a replacement answering people's questions using the "Dear Abby" name and fame. Early last year before the lockdowns began we still had a person physically delivering the...

Be careful about patting yourself on the back too much. That also may cause a strain... or? Having said, that I must also admit that it is a good title!
