What should band members do when a member of a Christian music group decides they no longer believe in God?
Do they kick the person out? Do they continue as they have been? What is the reasoning for whatever choices they make?
As usual, we're coming at it from different perspectives (different from each other as well as different from where I think we each would have come from a few years earlier). -

Surprisingly, it was only around 2.5 miles / 4.0 kilometers walk in each direction ... for some reason, I remember it being longer.
Anyway, we often relied upon neighborhood markets that were essentially convenience stores. I think there being little concession to the needs of pedestrians also made it a little more challenging. -

I thought that was the whole idea of being a girl scout parent.
When I was much younger, I worked at the local liquor store. A frequent customer named Phil had four daughters. He would let us know that it was girl scout cookie season, and would bring each of his four daughters individually to sell us cookies.
At the time, I made $64/week after taxes, so having $10 gobbled up by fundraising was a significant crimp. -

Most of the time, I haven't been making any effort to do so. Just trying to get 15K steps each day and occasionally turning down less healthy foods. I'm now within 10-15lb of my weight at age 40. -

I didn’t look at their selection of records because I have never owned a record player. They probably have some interesting records, too. -

I think they'd call it a food desert today. -

I suspect that pre-sliced "cheese" was already some sort of processed food product. What happened was I signed up for a cheese club and got European cheeses shipped to my door. They were surprisingly good.
Even today, I'm not a fan of sliced cheese-like food product. -

I did not notice it at the time, but I briefly considered it in 2014.
Once I started doing more reading about their conflict after the current phase of their war started in 2022, I'm surprised people don't see it ... and don't see that he intends to put neo-Soviet boots on the ground in Berlin and Paris.
This means the #GOP "antiwar" folks have their heads up their you know whats. Or they're so addicted to the benefits--free advertising from RT, possible bribes and payoffs--and lack any consciences.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink
