My limited knowledge of sheep herding simultaneously attracts me and pushes me away from such a vocation. All of the states I have not visited start with Montana in the west and continue eastward along the Canadian border through Michigan and then to New England above the state of New York. I...

@Angelina That is not funny! It is sending a deadly message, no matter what "side" a person is supposed to be on. May God help us all!

Yes, and while Lord willing I may visit some other places again, this is where I expect to finish out my time. So it is Minnesota. That is also one I have never even visited.

Maybe it was you who was from there. So I don't know about Job. I've been to most states as well as to many other nations, but not Wisconsin. I remember traveling by Greyhound to hither and yon. For $39.95 you could travel any where the bus could take you for a 30 day period and in those days...

Oh, yes, if we are really believers, we are no longer naked. Give God the glory!

At this point, I'm not. It's comfortable and affordable for our present life style. I'd really like to travel again before my time is done, but it is really not likely to happen now. I was born in Oklahoma but lived in California mostly until moving to Wyoming for two years and then the final...

As long as the computers work I keep them. Hopefully they will outlast me. There may be better ones, but there is no new me in the flesh to learn all about them. Other than forums my computers see a lot of usage for non-Internet or communications purposes. All of my tax records are on my...

The truth is that God alone gives the increase. He may or may not use you, or me, or the other guy to do it. No matter how much we know or think we know or how little we know we should know that: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth...

God may have given that job to some, but I would seriously doubt it. I believe that everyone who presents himself as a brother should be received and treated as just that until the Holy Ghost in us tells us otherwise. Too many people listen to their fleshly logic and presumptions instead of...

Jesus finished His work, but have we finished ours? Many, including even some on this forum, are perhaps too quick to say Jesus did all that was necessary. What Jesus did, I believe, is to open the Way into the Garden,into the Tree of Life that was closed when Adam and Eve were put outside. We...

All of the Bible, the 66 books anyway, that we have for the most part is given to us by God, which includes James. I have read the extra books in the Catholic Bible and won't say they are not from God, but each time I read them I've had a hard time getting through them. I've read some of the...

Calling someone once in a while to check it out is probably not a bad idea. If I were alone, likely mine would see little of no use. As it is with my wife often being in poor health and now recovering from major surgery, by carrying the cell phone with me when I need to run errands or pay...

Since I have a pacemaker and it could not be checked except on a landline phone, years ago we chose not to switch over to a cell phone and we couldn't afford to have both. Then along came my son-in-law and insisted we have one for when we are away from home in case of emergencies. He's been...

You may be right, but I an oldie and avoid unnecessarily changing to something new when I finally understand the old. The old saying that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks is false, but it is most definitely harder to teach them. I truly hate to buy a new computer anymore because I have...

I have the E-Sword, and if your version is like mine all you have to do to search for a word or a phrase is click on the image of a pair of binoculars [located just above the scripture verse window] which will bring up another large window with the words "Bible Search" in the upper left hand...

Until, we have done the impossible as Jesus did... that is: overcome the world. [see John 16:33]

@Angelina What continues within us even after our sins have been forgiven are those ever present attractions to the flesh: lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life [I John 2:16]. We fail as often as we do in these battles because our bad habits formed before our repentance were...

Why surprised? We can piece together different things that we know or believe, but that still doesn't explain God. Who can, other than He himself? But then how much do we need to understand of Him and His purpose? As we move toward Him [assuming movement in that direction] will He not then add...

Clever perhaps, but I would say that he knew more about God than most of those in the churches which he would not join. Those who studied our 16th President will have found many flaws in him, but for me with all the flaws and errors he would rank as our 1st President, if you understand my meaning.

@Naomi25 Continued: So long as we are seeing as through a glass darkly [from I Cor 13:12] we cannot fulfill the verse in I John 3:2 .So we start with a somewhat blurred vision, but a vision nonetheless [Prov 29:18], then given the work that God has done and is doing in us, our vision will...
