Cleaning?
It was easy to be a clean freak when I lived on the road hitch hiking because I was like a rolling stone that gathered no moss. But now that my stone has settled down I seem to be covered in moss. Growing up I thought being a pack rat was something admirable but now that I can actually see my table in my kitchen and other furniture in my house I am beginning to think that less is more.

POLGANY
I disagree with polygamy personally because I can get jealous easily. For me it would go against the golden rule of Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And that is just with friends much less being married to someone. I would have to look at it as if I was married to them then they would be married to me. Monogamy can be difficult enough as it is and I don't need to more confused than I already am. Trust is something that has to be built as the scriptures says precept upon precepts. I like precepts upon precepts better than concepts upon concepts. As I am learning from these audios I have been listening to that a marriage with God is an intimate thing. Marriage with an other person can be an intimacy, too. Especially if they have an intimacy with God themselves.

hey, at least you got the car.....
....got group today....my ride's extremely late
Did your ride make it there, yet? I haven't made it to any groups in two weeks because of the car being down. I was only able to to make thirty-two hours of overtime for the last two week pay period. I was wondering where I should go now that I got the car back and remembered the four large trash bags of trash I have cleaned up in the house by the front door. I think I will go see mom and her large dumpster box.

If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half then how long will it take a rooster to lay a brass door knob?

CRUCIVERBALIST/ˌkruːsɪˈvəːbəlɪst/
A compiler or solver of crossword puzzles. If you encounter the clue “crossword puzzle fan (14 letters)”, this is the answer. It seems to have appeared in English about 1980 (the first reference I can find is to the Compleat Cruciverbalist of 1981 by Stan Kurzban and Mel Rosen, subtitled “how to solve, compose and sell crossword puzzles for fun and profit”). However, Stan Kurzban tells me that Mel Rosen had encountered the word some years earlier in the title of a directory of crossword puzzle notables that was not widely circulated. Whatever its origin, cruciverbalist has spread into the wider language as a result of their efforts to the extent that it now appears in some larger recent US dictionaries. The word is a modern mock-Latin invention, being a translation back into Latin of the English crossword (using Latin crucis, cross, as in words like cruciform, plus verbum, word, as in verbose or verbatim). There is also cruciverbalism, for the art of crossword compilation or crossword fandom generally, but that is much rarer. I have been waiting for somewhere to post this.

Depression support - part 4
Finally got my car back from the mechanics. I bought the mechanic's wife breakfast after she found out from me that I had bought her brother breakfast for him taking me home. She drove me to her house to pick up the car this morning. Was praying the car had enough gas in it to make it to the gas station. God answers prayers because I made it.
Check coolant light came on as I was driving it home so I am going to make sure I put some water in it till I get some more antifreeze in it later. I guess I could have complained that they left the window down and it rained on the seat but I was just too glad to complain about having a wet bottom.

Soli Deo Honor et Gloria, Sola Gratia ,Sola Fide, Solus Christus, Sola Scriptura
Soli Deo gloria is the teaching that all glory is to be due to God alone, since salvation is accomplished solely through His will and action — not only the gift of the all-sufficient atonement of Jesus on the cross but also the gift of faith in that atonement, created in the heart of the believer by the Holy Spirit. Sola gratia is the teaching that salvation comes by God's grace or "unmerited favor" only — not as something merited by the sinner. Sola fide is the teaching that justification (interpreted in Protestant theology as, "being declared right by God"), is received by faith only, without any mixture of or need for good works, though in classical Protestant theology, saving faith is always evidenced by good works. Solus Christus is the teaching that Christ is the only mediator between God and man, and that there is salvation through no other (hence, the phrase is sometimes rendered in the ablative case, solo Christo, meaning that salvation is "by Christ alone"). Sola scriptura is the teaching that the Bible is the only inspired and authoritative word of God, is the only source for Christian doctrine, and is accessible to all—that is, it is perspicuous and self-interpreting.

HEBESPHENOMEGACORON
An irregular solid figure with 21 faces, 18 of them triangular and the other three square. Mr Zalgaller proved this was so and gave each of the 92 polyhedra a unique name. Hebesphenomegacorona can be split into four parts as hebe (from the Latin word for “blunt”), spheno (from the Greek for “wedge”), mega (Greek, “great”), and corona (Latin, “crown”), so making a “large, blunt, wedge-shaped crown”. He came up with many splendid names for other members of the set, like square dipyramid, pentagonal orthocupolarotunda, gyrobifastigium, metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron, snub disphenoid, disphenocingulum, pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda, and triangular orthobicupola. |

Help Meet
You bring up a good point, Laura. In the opening verse you will notice that God said that it is not good that man should be alone. Then he went on to say that he will make a help meet for him. Before he made man God said after he made stuff he saw that it was good. From just reading Genesis 2:18 I can infer that God loved Adam because he didn't want him to be alone. God actually cared about Adam from my point of view.
