    In defense of the plain old Gatorade bottle

    That's a good point about the hot water. I forgot about that. The ones I have right now are Cyclone. I do expect they'll get beat up, especially seeing the condition of my Gatorade bottles so it'll be interesting to see how long they last. My pack has a tendency not to hold bottles very well...

    In defense of the plain old Gatorade bottle

    So I buckled and bought a couple of polycarb bottles, because of the markings, so I don't have to take a seperate measuring cup in my pack. But can't I add those markings to the Gatorade bottles, which are light, flexible so they can be frozen for those midsummer hikes, and which have wide...

    Love wins...?

    Thank you all for your replies and insights-it's a delight to read them. I think you hit the nail on the head: they weren't transformed by God's show of power as He reserved only the 7,000 that didn't bow the knee to Baal. He simply wanted them to know that He is indeed God. I've seen some of...

    Sometimes wish I'd never lived

    I don't think it's a pity party to respond in a normal fashion to things we don't understand. Hats off to all our men and women serving in these positions; I don't think depression is a denigration of their sacrifices.

    Paintball?!

    Sidenote for paintball fans-The Sierra Trading Post has paintballs: about $40.00 for 2000 of them. I don't have any connection with TSTP, but just thought I'd mention it since the list price is much higher. Have fun. :)

    Love wins...?

    I recently saw a car with a wolf sticker on the back. I do think God created an especially aesthetic and dignified creature in the wolf, so I was drawn to the sticker which then read, "Love wins." That got me to thinking of the times when love has indeed made tender hearts that were once hard...

    When Faith Is Put To The Test

    Waiting is hard. I wish someone would have taught me about this part of the plan when I was young so that I could have recognized it when I saw it! How much confusion would have been clarified, and mistakes avoided! But God has been showing me so much how He is watching my every single step so...

    When Faith Is Put To The Test

    God does allow tests for His believers. He uses them to strengthen faith, which absolutely drives unbelievers into a tailspin because it makes them realize that if they do not turn to the Lord and acknowledge He is Lord and live as He commands, the scriptural is absolutely true. No, they're...

    David and Goliath

    What strikes me about the David and Goliath story is that David didn't play by Goliath's rules. There's the story behind the story at work here. There's the surface meaning that the world could see, and then there was the true, hidden meaning which only the spiritual eye can see, and so Goliath...

    Have you struggled with this?

    Every person on the planet has struggled with frustration and disillusionment. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or selling something. Job, Jeremiah, David, Elijah...everyone has because we're human and can't see the whole picture. In fact, Asaph wrote a psalm about it. It may comfort you.

    Sometimes wish I'd never lived

    You're not alone. Every person on the face of the planet goes through this at some point or another. Sometimes it happens when we don't see what the Lord is doing with our circumstances. I know I'm not alone in praying for your encouragement. God be with you.
