    Blood Pressure & Medicine

    Thank you to anyone reading this for your prayers as I begin blood pressure meds for the first time ever. I'm not a good pill taker but my BP has been averaging around 135/80. My doctor prescribed medication, which I'll begin tonight. Seems a little scary, but I know God is with me. Thank you so...

    Kitchen Staples for Older Folks

    I'm tasked with getting together Thanksgiving/Christmas "baskets" for several older (well, older than me!) home-bound church members. I could really use some suggestions for kitchen staples and a few fluffy extras to include. They're all in their 80s and 90s...

    Does Anyone Here Do Vertical Gardening?

    I've been reading a book about vertical gardening and am preparing to try it beginning next spring. Does anyone have experience with it? It looks like something that can really work for me, since we have a small back yard and the weather here doesn't support regular garden layouts very well.

    Has Anyone Heard from Rescued One?

    Rescued One seems to be missing in action. She hasn't posted since June 28, when she posted recipes in the Cooking forum. This is very unlike her. Has anyone heard from her or is in e-mail contact with her?

    Companion Herbs?

    Someone gave me a big metal planter. It's now filled with potting soil and I plan on planting herb seeds. Any idea what types of herbs grow best together?

    What Are You Watching?

    Green Acres. My husband turned to it and it's not one of his favorite shows. But sometimes a body just gets in the mood for silliness. ;)

    What's On Your Mind?

    I've seen a thread like this in several other forums and thought it might be nice to have one here! (Or maybe there's one here, but I couldn't find one.) What's on my mind today? I have an eye exam on Wednesday. My last two exams indicated I have small cataracts. Nothing that needs surgery as...

    Crossword Puzzles

    Does anyone here enjoy crossword puzzles? I've been working on a book of 300, the Mega Crossword Puzzle Book #18 from Simon & Schuster. I've made it to puzzle number 219. I think they're getting harder as I go along. Thankfully my husband fills in a word or two I can't come up with after I go to...

    Is Minister's Name on Bible Ethical?

    Some big church ministers have come out with study Bibles featuring their own notes. There's the Jeremiah Study Bible, The MacArthur Study Bible; Joyce Meyer has an Everyday Life Bible. There's a Tony Evans Study Bible. Do you think it's ethical for a minister, preacher -- anyone -- to attach...

    John 3:13

    John 3:13 tells us "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven". The more I study this, the more confused I get. Does this mean that neither Enoch nor Elijah went directly to heaven? What about those in the faith chapter of Hebrews...

    Large Icons are Distracting

    The member icons are very distracting while reading posts. They're much too large and bright. And round... like icons on every other forum. Round isn't better. The light background makes reading the grayish print difficult. The dark background is glaring and parts of each post don't show up...

    Newbie from Texas

    Hi! I joined a while back but just got to posting. I'm retired and live in north Texas with my husband and three cats. I enjoy gardening, birdwatching, baking and outdoor photography. I belong to a small Baptist church and enjoy the Bible study, fellowship and friendships I have there.
