The YBPDLNPL is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a period of time. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.

Nothing new under the Sun.
Anyone trying to tie something they are selling in with the Bible is automatically suspect as a con artist in my book. If you really think you have discovered some great principle from the Bible that you want to share with the world, and you are good-intentioned, you’ll usually tell everyone who will listen, free of charge.
Announcing the Irishtenor 40 Days in the Desert diet.
If it was good enough for Jesus, it must be good enough for me.
Announcing the Irishtenor 40 Years in the Desert diet, commonly known as Manna From Heaven...
If it was good enough for Moses, it must be good enough for me.
I’m on the John the Baptist diet...locusts and honey on a silver platter.
Though I do wonder whether they've cooked it over real dung for that biblical authenticity . . .
As annoying and boring as it is, weight loss and maintenance is fairly uncomplicated.
Vegetables, lean meats and proteins, fruits, whole grains and beans, nuts, et cetera ..... balanced and in reasonable amounts. Plus exercise.
Eating healthy and burning more calories than you're eating. That's it.
I prefer the Moses diet. Although I’ve only been able to make it halfway through the first day but I am trying.
One can be healthy on vegetables and water (and some olive oil), and Rick Warren could certainly use it.
But let’s get real. Although gluttony is a vice, no “food plan” is more Christian than any other. Food can be a false god even if you’re thin and healthy. After all, the Greeks worshipped the ideal human body.
Oddly enough, that is the first time I have seen that diet hawked on the Internet!
Wonder why? ;-)
Maybe we can find this at Total Wine, next time Anoreth visits, since the case of Mexican beer didn’t go over that well.
We like Israel!
One never knows what will turn up at Total Wine. Anoreth and her dad like unexpected varieties of beer.
I wish I liked beer, because there are so many interesting choices, and it’s cheaper than wine!
Ahhh...I've heard this many times.
My advice, since you're not asking ;), is to start slow. Buy a bottle at a time of different types.
Don't drink them when they are "too" cold. Use a small glass. Pour into the middle of the glass until its half-full...then stop. Let the head rise...then subside a bit.
Sip first. Then drink a mouth full. Learn about the after taste...the 'mouth' of the beer.
Then try another type.
Experimenting is the fun part.
I love ice cold beer, just above freezing is the best temperature for me.
