    How safe to fly part 2

    Well I made it. The first leg was half full, the second 1/3. I was surprised at how many people weren't wearing masks - especially among the flight crew and elderly. Changed clothes as soon as I got the car out of storage, changed again and showered as soon as I got home. Now the clock runs -...

    Hopeless, please help me

    As long as you are worried about it, you needn't be worried about it. IOW, if and when someone truly blasphemes the Holy Spirit to the point of salvation lost, they won't care about it anyway.

    What is "on topic"? Don't conversations evolve?

    If someone posts a question about BNSF freight trains, and it morphs into discussion about trains in general, have we really gone off topic? Methinks too many have tunnel vision - a dangerous and all too common problem these days.

    How safe to fly part 2

    I'm not really too worried about it. I think I've got the bases pretty well covered, including tips from my cousin on places to avoid. Just keep me in your prayers :) Thanks

    How safe to fly part 2

    We keep a car in a storage unit about 3 miles from the airport (it's actually cheaper and more secure than airport parking). Just far enough to make walking to it a pain with luggage.

    How safe to fly part 2

    There is another motive, being that I just have to get out of our LA house. Peace between I and the wife depends on having some apart time now and then. And like I said, having people work on things while I'm not there invariably leads to me having to do it over/correctly later myself. I...

    How safe to fly part 2

    The flight is actually free. Thanks to the Southwest credit card, nearly one out of 3 flights is free. And I find that if I hire people to do work when I'm not there, they just won't do it right and I end up having to re-do it myself anyway.

    COVID-19 Cases Top 3 Million World Wide. U.S. Cases Set to Hit 1 Million by End of April

    Which poses an interesting conundrum... herd immunity will be the key to getting control over this, but you can't achieve herd immunity until the herd is exposed. I think the total lock-down is going to prove a mistake and extend the amount of time it will take to achieve herd immunity.

    How safe to fly part 2

    [STAFF EDITED] Anyway, the issue is, I've been in lockdown in Los Angeles since 1st of March. But our home in MN needs attention - the alarm system has failed and is sending out false alarms, the basement sump needs to be connected to the outside discharge, the hvac filter needs changing. My...

    How safe is it to fly?

    Some systems at our home in MN need repair. I'm sequestered in Los Angeles (And yes we've maintained stay at home). How safe is it to fly from small airport to small airport (Burbank to Omaha)? Considerations... Confirmed cases are .3% of the US population (meaning 3 out of every 1,000 people...

    COVID-19 Cases Top 3 Million World Wide. U.S. Cases Set to Hit 1 Million by End of April

    3 million out of 7.8 billion. 1 million out of 330 million. It's not a good situation, but when numbers are skewed to make it look worse, it doesn't help anyone.

    What it would entail to lose your salvation.

    Too, one must not confuse backsliding with apostasy. They are two different things

    What it would entail to lose your salvation.

    1. We are free to believe or disbelieve according to our own free will. Joshua 24:15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve Deu 30:19 - "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, [that] I have set before you life...

    Homesick for heaven

    You don't know the half of it ;) I'm jealous of people who 'pass on' ... they're partying before the throne of God and I'm not. Throne Room envy, I call it. I pray Come Lord Jesus!
