  1. I'm sure you'll like it, G. Is your copy paperback, hardback, or an ebook? (Call me old-fashioned, but I love the feel and smell of a REAL book.) I got a couple (5) used books from the thrift store to tie me over til I see Follet's part 3 on the shelves at Barnes and Noble's. The one I started first is "The Lost Books of the Bible" about the find at Nag Hammadi. I'm just getting started and it's OK so far, it doesn't contain all of the complete texts, but contains bits and pieces with commentary connecting or contrasting them with the established books. I'll keep you posted.
  2. I just wanted to convey to everybody here the "Happiest of Holiday's", the "Merriest of Christmas’!”, and pray that “God bless us, each and every one!!”

      We've gotten 2" today, with another 2 or 3 on the way...

  4. Wow, I just looked over my reading list.... I've read so many books and articles since the last time I posted here.... I'm currently reading A Feast for Crows, the final book in Martin's Game of Thrones series. I'm a little dissappointed in it... it's not nearly as engrossing as the first three books, and I'm having a hard time finishing it... I'm also impatiently awaiting the third installment of Ken Follet's latest trilogy The Fall of Giants is set in the early years of the 20th century and introduces 5 international families whose lives are intimately and intricately entwined in a tale that spans WWI, the Russian Revolution, and the Great Depression. Book 2, The Winter of the World carries the saga through the Hitler years, WWII, and the early Cold War. The last book (???) isn't supposed to be published til next year... hopefully it will be issued early in 2013 rather than later....
  5. I got winded just thinking about trying to play the William Tell... He deserved the standing ovation!
  6. I was not familiar with Rumi, but I liked your selection, and will look for his work in my local library.
  7. Is this your work? I like it. I'd hang my name under it.
  8. Bro. Hex, I cannot (and would not assume to) answer for the Rattler, but would rather question your aversion to a statement of HIS personal religious beliefs. How many different sects/denominations posses and share simular basic tenets yet conflict over (seemingly) trivialities? Does Baptism require full submersion to wash away one's sins, or will sprinkling (dry-cleaning) suffice? Why require his Universalist views to conform to your views of Universalism?
  9. I read the transcript, and I was pleased to learn that some of my most basic religious assumptions are shared.
  10. Soliciting for your buiness? I don't think you're supposed to do that here.....
  11. (Just saw this one on the board, G) Sorry to learn of your S-I-L's troubles... will certainly include her and your family in my prayers. God bless!
  12. I haven't been able to access the internet on a regular basis for the last couple of months so it wasn't untill this morning that I had time to read and enjoy this.... Thank you, Brother!
  13. Happy's Thanksgiving menu seems to have featured Pied Dans la Bouche... it must be tasty, he sure seems to like putting there....

  15. May God's blessings be upon you and yours through the new year.
  16. I don't see the resemblance, but my wife says I look like Charlton Heston. (I think I'm much better looking.)
  17. Truth is white. Love is blue. Anger is red. Jealousy is green.
  18. Funny, I don't see any previous posts from "formermember-ministermom...." Which alter-ego do you share with your present identity?
