Friends Do Not Steal From Friends

You know what I mean.

Happy New Year!

 

Merry Christmas!

 

Christmas Eve

 

Winter Solstice

Yesterday it was also Winter Solstice and the first day of winter.

 

The Fourth Sunday Of Advent

It's time to rejoice:

 Now we return to December and Christmastide, when during the darkest days, we rejoice in the promise of the one true Light who has come into the world. This great wonder is pondered each year across the 12 days of Christmas, from Dec. 25 through Epiphany on Jan. 6.

Before this great feast arrives, however, there is a great season of preparation. Advent is not just for baking, caroling or gift-giving, but also for holding back the fullness of Christmas joy until the Nativity itself.

Including the recipe for mincemeat pies;)

What Is Your Favourite Bible Version?

KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, NASB, Douay-Rheims? And why? What about the original manuscripts? TR vs CT vs Majority? 

The Importance Of Exercise

 I hope you haven't forgotten to exercise today:

Back in 2016, an international team of researchers reported that leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower risk for many types of cancer—and this held regardless of body size or smoking history. More recently, a 2025 study of more than 85,000 adults in the United Kingdom found that people with the highest level of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity had a 26% lower risk for cancer compared to those with the least. People who engaged in light activity (such as household chores), had higher daily step counts or substituted an hour a day of sedentary time with physical activity also saw benefits. Another UK Biobank study found that even brief bursts of vigorous activity totaling less than five minutes a day reduced cancer incidence among people who did not exercise regularly.

Do We Shower Too Much?

 That's an interesting topic;)

The case for showering less

Overcleaning your body is probably not a compelling health issue. Yes, you could be making your skin drier than it would be with less frequent showering. This is not a public health menace. However, daily showers do not improve your health, could cause skin problems or other health issues — and, importantly, they waste a lot of water. Also, the oils, perfumes, and other additives in shampoos, conditioners, and soaps may cause problems of their own, such as allergic reactions (not to mention their cost).
