That’s true. It’s also true, save for Jesus’s birth and being at the temple at age 12, we don’t have much background about His life before His ministry starts.

Whereas Elijah and Melchizedek come out of nowhere. And John is compared to Elijah and Jesus is of the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:6,10 and Psalm 110:4).

Your analogies are good. Our Sunday evening worship was recently going through Luke 1, and that’s why I responded.

Luke 1 does give some background on John.

Scrubbed due to weather.

And revert the name back to Constantinople...

24 seems young for CTE, but only an autopsy will be able to tell, provided the gray matter is still intact.

Knob Creek is my go-to bourbon, but Bulleit is a nice change of pace.

Wine has been overpriced for far too long.

I wouldn’t change a thing. God is in control.

(Romans 8:28 ESV) [28] And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Johnny Walker, if I remember correctly. To the tune of “Take a Walk on the Wild Side”.

“Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots, uh-huh”

I can’t boycott NYC anymore than I did before the election.

Pandering to his base.

Don’t forget 11/4/2008...

All people are theologians. Some are better at it than others...

I could see the madman doing that to be vindictive. NYC went after Rush Limbaugh for years after he left.

Hardly equivalent. It’s a tariff to enter the state, no leave. Also, it’s a complete troll of the left.

My daughter was born at 26 weeks, and now is a young woman in her 20s.

To be so insensitive to the life growing inside you, and to have doctors willing to kill this life is unfathomable to me.

I told my wife last night that was going to happen after Auburn lost 10-3, but Stevie Wonder could see that coming.

Great movie line.

I don’t believe there’s a correlation. However, once when I was living in the LA area, a friend of mine who grew up in the valley said the weather one night felt like earthquake weather. The next morning, we had a 6.1.

That was the only time I ever heard him say that. Coincidence...
