I love having my plants too. I have an indoor sunroom full of them. The critters and I often retreat there.For sure. It is quite noticeable and solitary when there is no other life in the home except your own. Plants don't count as they have little personality to speak of. Perhaps that is why God got creative.
I live with my parents because of my disability and they refuse to have pets. So that won't be happening.Aw! Maybe you can adopt one soon.

I think it dates back to the time when land equalled crops, and owning land meant you had an income (as opposed, say, to the serfs who did the sharecropping but didn't own the land they worked). Probably not so practical these days!Property taxes are bizarre to me because every human needs shelter to live - a place to sleep, eat, etc. It's basically just a tax on living, being alive. Plus I have other property. Why don't they tax me for owning a refrigerator? Why don't they tax my guitar?
My understanding is while he is intelligent, he is a bit of a fringe type of guy. Intelligence does not equal immunity from being wrong. His partnership with Simcha Jacobovici gives me extreme pause as well. (Naked Archaeologist). Tabor is also a major proponent of the idea that Jesus had a wife and son. Sooo, not really someone I feel comfortable with. But thanks anyway.You might find this interesting as there definitely was a chance to study hidden knowledge but it was cut short. A good watch from renowned Dr Tabor which leaves you to decide who stopped the disclosure, God or the Adversary.
I'm concerned about the end happening in the immediate future of my lifetime, and I'm at a stage where I'm still somewhat "fresh" at life and haven't lived the kind of life I thought I'd have ahead of me. I know other Christians say they look forward to the end because of getting to see their Lord, but I feel like I and others of my cohort will involuntarily be snuffed out prematurely, if you understand that.
