Soon be 92 year old mother in law adjusting well to life with us for over six month, although she does tend to overdo it with the weed eater and blower out in the yard…🤷‍♂️

I aspire to be spry enough to use a weed eater at age 92.

I hear you

We have approx 450 feet of curbside e with the street. About 320 feet  of sidewalk (2 sides of course). Call it 300 feet of driveway and parking all in. That’s just edging the grass next to concrete… then around all the flowerbeds and raised garden beds…

I’ve seen her go three+ hours in the summer heat without sitting down or taking a break except to maybe get a drink of water.

Tough tough tough…

 Share your aspirations

Thank you! I have a scofield and Thompson chain and love them both for different reasons. I’ve just not found a Bible from any particular publisher whether reference or study Bible that I have found to be the best for my studying and use for preaching

Ah. Dispensationalist?

Speaking of dispensationalists, how about that nominated United States Ambassador to Israel?  Wow!

If the use of the KJV is a matter of preference for the pulpit, that's fine.  The language is both familiar and poetic, and the literary style is very good. 

For preaching, I usually use a variety of translations at the same time, often reading two or three of them for the verse or part of a verse I'm working on.  Even if using the KJV as your primary translation, something like, "In Romans 12, verse 1, Paul says "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, that you..."  Other translations say "blah blah blah blah."   The word "Beseech" in the original greek means "...  ... ..."

The NASB is probably the best from a "literal" translation approach (as opposed to dynamic), but the English is not nearly as poetic or smooth as the KJV or the NKJV.

A lot of folks like the newer ESV, although it isn't my favorite, mostly because I'm used to other versions.

If you are looking for a study bible, well, that depends in part on your particular brand of Christianity.  Pretrib premil love the Ryrie Study Bible.  Others like the Thompson Chain, or the old Scofield.  Some like the Inductive Study Bible.  Personally, I don't particularly care for study bibles, as too often folks treat the notes like they are inspired...

In any event, welcome to our little corner of chaos.  Our friend you just met, Fenris, is a devout Jew and is a wealth of information as to Jewish life, theology, and understanding of Hebrew!

I'm trying to convince him (for almost 20 years now) that there is an exception for bacon in the Talmud, but alas, so far he has not succombed to my evil ways...

 

She’s a real sweet lady and an absolutely head knocker as to discipline and process.

This is a lady you want running the trains and as she says, “keeping the riff raff away from the Boss.”

On a purely selfish note, this gives me a four year time frame in which:
1. the law firm will buy all of my stock in 48 equal payments starting January 1, with the outstanding balance earning a healthy 8% per year.
2.  on January 1, 2029, they make their final lump sum payment to me.
3.  that gives me four years to work as much and where I want, to invest as I want, to buy the land the Mrs. and I want, and to design and build our "final home."
4.  To transition from full time lawyering back into full time ministry.

I like the next four years.

Whuuuut?

You mean Hal Lindsey was WRONG!!!!!!!???

Know Kamala Harris. She was DA when I was awarded a citation for intervention in a deadly assault.

She and I will never agree on certain issues, particularly concerning the Faith, though she is an outstanding public servant.

Tomorrow will be a great day for her and the nation.

Yes

When she is retired from public service!

At least both of us will have our votes count for the winner in our respective states!

Mostly availability and compatability with my existing system.

I'm not very good with tech so "plug and play" without programming is YUUUUUGE for me!

 

Plus, I figure it's all obsolete in 5-7 years so no need to buy a Cadillac, which is what my house's former owner did.

I plugged in a new Swann night vision/ 4K camera into the existing system over the weekend and the difference in picture quality is remarkable, plus I can have audio recording as an addition.
