    It’s a Task Interpreting Job

    I get it that Chapters 38-42 show how God straightens out Job and his three friends. However, is it correct to conclude that the errant statements of Job & friends are intertwined with truths that can be extracted and taught for the purposes of building up the flock? I ask this because, as...

    Treasured Junk Mail Has Disappeared

    Hey! All the “Junk Mail” that I used to receive, you know, that stuff that some tech companies blocked from reaching my inboxes for ideological/political reasons—these no longer land in the junk or spam folders. Dad-burned algorithms! Change is hard. Well, here’s hoping that this newest...

    Early Pick 2015 Word of The Year

    “Trifecta”. Indeed, this could be the Word of 2015-2016 as the GOP simultaneously wields the power of the [1] U.S. Executive (presidential), [2] Judicial (Supreme Court), and [3] Congressional (House + Senatorial) branches. The DNC will likely make this threefold grip on governmental control...

    A Second Work of Grace

    I have come to appreciate the "mainstream" Baptist view about the life of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ and in the individual believer. For years, I've studied teachings stemming from "Keswickian", Pentecostal, Wesleyan, Early Methodist, Nazarene, and Christian & Missionary Alliance...

    Coz in 1 Chronicles 4:8

    Is there any indication in the Bible about who was the father of Coz/Koz?

    Ageless Generation

    You know, the older I get, the more I think there's a sort of "ageless" generation that cuts across age groups. There are young folk with wisdom of the aged and childish older folk that just want to think in a kiddy-like fashion. Sure, the different groupings have good purposes, but I just...

    So They Say

    It seems that spokespersons for the current U.S. Administration have introduced a whole new template of canned words and phrases to structure responses and dialogue. But, the phenomenon is not isolated to one branch of government, political party or media outlet. Do you recognize any of...

    Who’s Who in Psalm 7:12-14

    I find it bumpy when reading Psalm 7:12-14. Perhaps this is due to the Bible version I use. This has to do with whether a line is referring to God or man. The Interlinear on biblehub.com is in-line with the NASB-1995 (perhaps I should say the reverse). But with the way I read, my...

    Quirk with My Taxreporting (U.S.) Software

    Well, this is awkward. I have filed my Federal/State individual tax returns via an online service for the past five years without a hitch. But, here's the oddity I'm experiencing that concerns the requirement to report interest earned in 2022 on my bank checking account. As you may know...

    Hebrews 13:8 - How It Fits in Chapter 13

    Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is this verse… (1) A capstone expression for the author’s admonitions in verses 1-7? (2) A pause (that really feels more like a thunderclap) to express the greatness of God? (3) A grand opening for what the author...

    Printer Ink 3.0 — Black Ink Matters

    My HP Envy printer has this dual cartridge arrangement, one slot for color and the other for black-only. With all my years of using manual typewriters and IBM Selectric 3’s, who am I to not just enjoy black characters? So, I just go with the black and leave the color side empty. Works fine...

    Printer Ink 2.0 - Buying Ink

    I have an HP Envy printer, and except for except for one instance, have always bought HP ink cartridges. For that exception, I browsed on ink companies that sold compatible cartridges at lower prices, and I ordered. The ink quality and life of the experimental cartridge was about the same as...

    Printer Scanning

    Does scanning a document on my HP Envy printer (to create .pdf or .jpeg) use up printer ink? My guess, using the "you can't get something from nothing" rule, is that scanning does consume printer ink.

    Whatever was it that happened?

    I am perceived to be a well-balanced follower of Christ (and I think that I am as well). While I am not presently troubled by some past incidents that I'll describe, thoughts about them have surfaced lately, and I conclude that the Almighty is reminding me that we truly do not "wage war...

    The Articles in the Ark of the Covenant

    When under King Solomon the first Temple was completed, ... Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord 's covenant from Zion, the City of David (2 Chronicles 5:2) This ark had once...

    Dropbox - Change Credit Cards for payments

    I used an IOS device (iPhone) to subscribe to Dropbox Plus via automated monthly/credit card payments. After a few payments, I now need to change credit cards. However, I can’t crack the code on how to accomplish this, what with outdated and inaccurate advice on the web. Dropbox tells me...

    EU Now Likes Gas and Nuclear Power

    This morning, I saw on a European news channel how that the EU has just approved a measure classifying gas and nuclear power as sources for “green energy”. Why can’t the green advocates in the U.S. be as pragmatic?

    POTUS at Madrid NATO Conference

    President Biden, at one venue, was seated, reading his responses from hardcopy: a sure sign he should not be there. I watched this on Spain’s RTVE.ES. However, there was no mention by RTVE about the President’s method of responding.

    A question about transliterations

    I am a non-Jew and have been studying an introduction to Biblical Hebrew. I am finding it comfortable reading the Hebrew in its right-to-left ordering. Call it “lazy eye”, but I find the left-to-right reading of transliterations to be a real distraction. Are there any transliteration works...

    A Reserve Charge for Paying at the Pump

    Today, I tapped my credit card at a gas station pump to top off my car's fuel tank with 87 Octane gas. The purchase was for $32.66. Yet, my smart phone flashed a message from the credit card company about a minute later to say that the charge pending was for $175.00. The gas station...
