Been here with mom at the hospital since 7:30. It is now almost midnight.

Same story. She is out of pain meds so she came to the hospital, knowing good and well all they will do is give her a shot and send her home without a prescription.

An EKG and a x-ray later and she is being sent home soon with nothing. Just like I knew. Blah. As soon as this guy comes and takes the line out and gives us release papers, we will go.

I have to be up again in 4 hours to tend to dad.


Such is my life.

You need to just find a crack dealer or something you can take her to.

Ugh.  A guy at work left a tract on the table in the breakroom, with a devil (horns, tail and all) shooting arrows at the KJV.  The basic synopsis of the tract was, the KJV is the only good translation, all others should be at least avoided, maybe burned.  I asked him if he had read the tract before he put it out there.  Yeah... I asked if he had done any research on the claims this tract made.  Yeah... 

So he started explaining why he believed this, and I found his "research" has some amazing facts.  It seems the research he has done has been in only material provided by his church, and one of the "facts" is that every Bible version other than KJV was compiled from the Wescort and Hart manuscripts.  I knew right away that was wrong, a simple google could shed light on it.  Another featured "fact" is that the KJV is unique among all the translations in being free of errors.  I mentioned two off the top of my head. 

I just hope he doesn't run into any argumentative atheists.  They would eat him for lunch.   :-\

The KJV in one place refers to Jonah being swallowed by a whale, and in another it is referred to as a big fish, which can't be a whale because whales are mammals.  Of course they didn't know whales weren't fish back then.

In Genesis 49:6 "...and in their self-will they digged down a wall." was a mistranslation.  Every other translation I've read says "hamstrung an ox" or "hocked an ox."  I can't type the differing Hebrew words here, but they look very similar.

Mind you, this does not mean we should disregard KJV as unreliable.  Its doctrine is sound.  But it does have a few little errors, and to deny it is to give ammunition to unbelievers, many of whom know more about the Bible's errors than we do because they've been looking for errors in it for years.

In other news, tomorrow I'm going to get a haircut and do a lot of shopping.

Banana pancakes.  Tastes more like a banana crepe.  We liked them though. 

Recipe:

1 large banana
2 eggs

Basically mash & whip, or puree. Cook with a good oil.  I used coconut.

Makes 4 pancakes.

Lynx

Coconut oil...

*Psalm_97 begins chuckling to himself.

I have a little can of coco de leche, sweetened coconut creme, that I like to spread on a good thick slice of warmed sourdough bread.  Grandma said "Oh I have a jar of that."  No, that's coconut oil... don't try spreading that on bread, it ain't even close to the same.

Fuzzy:  Yeah, but it doesn't taste anything like coconut creme.  Speaking of which, coconut oil is the first ingredient in one of my favorite german chocolates, Ice Cube Chocolates.

Seth:  About the same way you'd hamstring a horse I imagine.  Cut the achilles tendon.

Any of you guys keep your church up to date with news from the foreign mission field?  If so, what ways do you present the info?

Even Chel has accrued 10 smites... Alright, who's the rat been smiting Chel?

You must be blessing me.  Now Seth will smite me more. ;)

You're right!

Cheese, that was very kind of you to be so considerate about Little Bean. *nods wisely*

Mel......... *smh*......... I don't even know what to say to that one. I mean, there are plenty of choice things I'd like to say to your mom, but that probably wouldn't help matters any. I'm sorry, girlie. Sending you a *HUG*

And now that I have briefly posted, and both smitten and blessed with abandon, I may go read a book for a little while before bed. *grin*

We have a bulletin board with newsletters that some of the missionaries send out posted on it....  Most people don't ever really read through them that way though.

I'm good. There are lots of things I would like to say to her too. But sometimes it's best to just go with the flow and do whatever.

Using a homemade stovetop cleaner recipe I found on pinterest. Hope it works like it says.
