I will be adding the stuff I’ve compiled from previous months on here soon (trust me! LOL)…I’ve got a music Top 5 for this year too to help you transition into Advent if you hadn’t already…but here’s what I’ve got for December thus far. If you didn’t know, December has been a crapshoot just like the rest of the year. I do thank Almighty God for a new work policy that keeps me off Twitter while the mess goes down. To that end, I also voluntarily left Twitter again…not sure if I’ll ever go back at this point since…I’m trying to see if it is affecting my blood pressure.
I just be out here chillin though, as per usual…check out the daily rundown. Don’t @ me either – this is my site lol
(Did I mention literally everyone, including myself…is viable to get roasted on here? Aye, if you didn’t know…now, you know.)

- But wait – something did happen yesterday…check this: so before the message the pastor alerts us to check out the books in the foyer because he said we had some new Advent-centric (so…Christocentric) material to check out. When I hear “new books”, I’m like “bet”, so I had to check it out. To my extreme surprise while looking through the various books there…I saw a problem. I ’bout got sick.

- This was a sad situation, and I agree with her wholeheartedly that her boldness in discussing it is a good thing. But where I must disagree with her is her thought that we should do something to address a perceived stigma against single-parent families. Lord knows I don’t have nothing but love for all ya’ll, and God bless her family…but she’s in a particularly unique situation as a bankable actress to even be able to afford to adopt and provide for her children as a single parent…when most single parent situations aren’t as fortunate. Even so, beyond all that…there is benefit to having a father in the family along with a mother for reasons beyond the financial. There’s a reason why single-parent situations are generally considered not so good. Gonna stop right there because I don’t plan to write anything on this subject lest I get myself into (even more) trouble.

- Yesterday’s WLC question was #57…
- I like this translation as well…
- With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
- For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
-
- I know the NLT isn’t perfect, but as far as translations using dynamic equivalence, I find it to do pretty well compared to many of the others with the same aim. I should write something about the little I know about Bible translations (the good, the bad, and the ugly)…we’ll see. I owe the 4 people that’ll get my site address a lot (like baptism, life, etc)…so…this ain’t priority 😉

- I will write about some of this though.
- Randum thought: I gotta write down the story about my first Linux installation lol…and oddly enough, it was not Ubuntu that I installed! I need to include pics and details because it’s…a story that, if you know me – it makes perfect sense LOL -> I promise I’ll do at least this one today haha 🙂

- Reference to the only link I’ve been able to find to a drive that looks similar to what I had (mine was clear and twice the size of what is at the link…so I could hold more music that I’d in all likelihood burn onto a CD when I could…but wait that’s later in time, okay?): https://smile.amazon.com/Lexar-PD-128-231-JumpDrive-Portable-Flash/dp/B00006I5FQ?sa-no-redirect=1
