    How about it? What if your next door neighbor was homosexual, and needed a ride to a hospital... Oh, say, 50 minutes away. Let's pretend you were free that day, as unlikely as that may be with family, job and all. Would you take him? Under what circumstances? If your choice isn't in the poll...

    Have a heart!

    Someone at w*rk today was playing a country song: I've got a heart like a truck It's been dragged through the mud I said, "Hmm... A heart like a truck... It's a bit battered, got a few dents in it. I've been letting maintenance slide for a few years and it runs a little rough. But it still gets...

    Christmas Sunday

    I'll get right down to it: Y'all going to church on Christmas day? It seems a bit churlish, right? "Sorry God, we can't come visit you today. We're celebrating your birthday at our house." But when the whole family is gathering at Mom and Dad's for Christmas... What'cha gonna do? That...

    If I had the money / Tell you what I'd do...

    ..."I'd go downtown And buy a Mercury or two" Sorry Alan, but my tastes run a bit different. :P What would you do if you had the money for it? Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a lot of other stuff. What is the one thing it CAN buy that you would get if you could? An Alaska cruise...

    License Please

    You need a license to drive a car. This is physical proof that somewhere someone thought you were able to operate one safely. You need a gun license (in some areas) for the same reason. You need a ham radio license so the radio community can rest fairly easy that the airwaves will not be...

    Coffee shop/bakery name

    JohnDB needs a name for his shop. It will be selling coffee, baked goods and other assorted comestibles. He was talking about chicken, so he may be running a lunch bar on the side. He can explain it when he comes in. I'm just getting the thread started. What's a good name for it? It has to...

    When I grow up I'll NEVER...

    You hear it all the time. "When I was a kid my parents ___________ and I made up my mind I'll never be like that when I grew up." What is yours? Also, did you keep your word? Or did you find out why they were like that? Did it surprise you when you realized you were doing exactly what they...

    Weak Trees (musing on the future of Christianity)

    In October, 2019, a storm ripped through west and middle Tennessee and caused a lot of damage, mostly by knocking over a LOT of trees. The rain wasn't all that bad, but the wind was stronger than anything I had ever seen before. ("Strong" in this case is relative - it was amazing for this region...

    SHOPPING SPREE!!!

    Them tax returns be rolling in, y'all! How are you spending yours? Quote I saw online: "It's tax return season, and I know y'all been missing the beach, but you're also missing a tooth and all the tread on your tires, so maybe this year make better decisions." It has become VERY busy at my...

    Need Christian Celtic music

    I'm looking for any recommendations y'all have. Anything Irish or Scottish, that is Christian and modern. (Yes there IS such a thing as modern Irish and Scottish music...) I have found Ric Blair's "Break The Walls" and Mark Robin's "Live from Belfast" but that's ALL I can find. Even Ric...

    Bumping Approved Threads

    Moderating new threads... very good thing. Thank you SO much for this! Problem is, you can't be at the computer 24/7. Sometimes by the time you approve a new thread it is older than more than half a page of threads with new replies, and it appears waaaaaaaay down the list. I keep missing a lot...

    Modern Christian Terms

    Coughering: When somebody in a pew in front of you coughed right as the offering pan was passed. "Uh... I'll just give a coughering this time. I'll add what I was going to give to next week's offering. And hey, y'all might wanna wear gloves when you count that." Rock Of Ages: The pebble you...

    Family Motto

    If your family had a motto, what would it be? Our family motto would be, "Every occasion deserves an appropriate family dinner." Seriously, we have a family dinner for any excuse... er, for any reason. (Don't get me wrong, I ain't complaining. I love it!) Covid sure has cramped our style...

    Body or Mind?

    This is kind of a morbid topic, but it's a question I wound up giving a lot of thought: When you get old, which would you rather lose first? Your sound body or your sound mind? We all lose them eventually when we die, and (if we avoid accidents, fatal illnesses and the like and actually make it...
