Well, I'm sure others could interept it differently but, looks like a decision was made to bring his life and that of his family more than his father had for him and his mother.

We all know of those who have hard times and just can't seem to pull themselves out. Kinda like some places today.

Did you listen to it, jaycee? What's your take on it?

Oh! You’re Right! WHY did my mind see it the other way. I guess I’m tired and reading with only half a brain.

Talk about things being upside down! I don’t do political correctness and I’m NOT sorry if anyone is offended by it! If it offends your senses, you need a good cleansing. Things like this totally disgust me!

Yes...When You said “The Size of Texas” I naturally thought “Half” because each side of the Moose’s Caboose would constitute One Half The Size of Texas, and, if combined, would aptly comply with your original premise.

An Exercise In Godliness

January 4, 2012

The New Year is often the time when we resolve to take better care of ourselves—to exercise, eat right, and perhaps shed some of the pounds we gained over the holidays. Paul says, “Exercise profits a little” (1 Tim. 4:8), so I struggle to be as fit as I can be. I try to eat right, more or less, though I do love fried chicken. I lift weights and walk, but I know that my body is not long for this world. Its strength is fading.

It’s better to concentrate on godliness, because it holds promise for this life and the life to come (v.8). Contrary to the old adage, we can take something with us after all.

Godliness may sound dull, scary, and unattainable, but the essence of godliness is simply self-giving love—caring more for others than we care for ourselves. This kind of love is hard to come by, but it’s one that grows in the presence of love. We grow loving and more lovely by sitting at Jesus’ feet, listening to Him, talking things over—gaining in likeness to the One who is love (1 John 4:8).

Life is a journey into love, it seems to me, and there’s nothing so beautiful as a godly soul. Physical exercise is good, no doubt, but there is something far, far better: It is to love.

That I may love Him is my soul’s ambition—
Love Him with all my mind and strength and heart,
Seek out His will and choose it, in submission,
And with the joy He only can impart. —Anon.

Love is godliness in action.

Read: 1 Timothy 4:6-11

Bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things. —1 Timothy 4:8
Bible in a year:
Genesis 10-11
