What's on your mind?

So what are you all doing for Christmas? I might be going to my cousins house.

Probably not the thread for this, but I don't understand why the Gospel of John is considered so different from the others. B/c there's unique events? Big deal, all the Gospels have something that's not in the others. B/c no parables? Not really, there's still things like Jesus comparing himself to bread & water, etc. & it's not like he would've taught in just parables. There's still healings, the Passion, John the Baptist set-up, teachings, etc. B/c of the detail in it? So do Luke & Matthew.

I'm gonna deviate from the 'scholars' (biblical & pagan) & go ahead & say all of the Gospels are unique in their own way but have the similarities the essence is the same. However, that being said, if I was forced to say one is 'different' from the others, I'd say Mark.

@Somber @SarahsKnight and @Saucy @public hermit @Sif @ChocolateVanillaLion @Anthony2019 if you were here I would give you Ziploc bags of a peanut butter blossom cookie,2 nutty noodle cluster, 2 oatmeal no bake, 2 squares of Walnut fudge, chocolate caramel kettle chips that I just finished making and chocolate covered pretzels.

I will make another batch of nutty noodle clusters tomorrow morning. That is chow mein noodles, semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch and peanuts before I start making my deliveries west of me.
Merry virtual Christmas!View attachment 309879

Welllll I have no qualms with giving you my home address if you're still down for mailing some to me.
^-^

But thanks, Miss Sampa. You are always conscientious and thoughtful of many.

I tend to agree. Although for me personally I seem to treasure the events as they came from Luke's perspective more than the other three gospels, since they seem to focus most on the charitable and humanitarian aspects and events of Jesus' ministry.

My coworker says her kids say the day before Christmas Eve is Christmas Adam.

I love John's gospel. It's my absolute favorite. You can sense the love John had for Jesus when you read it.

It's been a while since I read each gospel but John is probably the most poetic.

If you give me some time to pick up the slack, so I am up to speed, I will be thrilled to accept the quest?

In light of today’s events we’ll have to discuss it privately. I’m removing my posts due to the SOP.

Tomorrow is the 24th and I won't be online.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

 

[Multifavs]

We finally baked some cookies yesterday. Yum. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve already!

I hope everyone has been doing alright! I know I'm not around here much, but I still think about everyone here fairly often.

It's always good to see you again Somber! I am doing okay, and I hope you're doing great!

It seems like the only Christmas songs Christian radio stations play is Silent Night & O Come O Come Immanuel.

Slowed down today. Maybe that means we're getting near the end of busy time?
Boss letting me have Monday off. Thinking I'll take all of Friday & Saturday off & then work most of the day Sunday per our agreement to make up for Monday.

Had some Japanese Hibachi Chicken with Hibachi Rice and Hibachi Noodle today. And Iced Green Tea.

Hibachi is sooo good!

In other news, I just weighed myself and put on a few pounds. December hasn't been good to me lol. Time to get back on track right after Christmas!

There were so many that didn't believe that I could make it through basic training that just gave me more fuel to prove them all wrong. It's amazing that I made it through since I couldn't do one push-up going in.

O_O

I would say so. There's enough of a script for a good cute-underdog-gal-surprises-the-world-with-her-tenacity-when-the-going-gets-tough movie right there. ^-^

Yes, on more than one occasion. I pray someday that God will get the glory if it ever is written somewhere and publicized. In the meantime I pray that it encourages those around me to persevere while the duck (edit: ,talk to text. It's so late I don't know what I was trying to say) going gets tough. Blessings Sarah's knight. I pray your Christmas is most blessed with those you love near and dear and a thankful heart for Christ our Savior.
