We moved out of Texas 1 year ago (Austin) and I miss it. Houston is a great town. Can you eat some Tex-Mex for me? Thanks!

I used to have a Kindle and had free copy of BOM. You can get any .pdf file converted and transferred to Kindle. The device is lightweight. It's processing and search features exist but are so slow they are almost useless. I used the Whispernet to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal which I found convenient. But after I moved to Canada, there was no more Whispernet (It is now available, but my device would not be compatible). After several months, I thought I would try to download some files from my computer via the USB interface, but the device was "dead", perhaps from the battery. I didn't want to pay to get it diagnosed or buy another battery, so I scrapped it. The books I "bought" are still on my Amazon account, but I would need another Kindle to access them. I would like to get an iPad for book reading, but the first version is pretty heavy. It also has a battery which would be expensive to replace. I would suggest you buy such a device with the idea it would need to be replaced every 2 or 3 years. I would also look for media that is device-independent, but good luck with that. So a netbook or iPad might be more flexible than the Kindle.

I don't really care about belly buttons, but why didn't God prohibit Adam from eating of the Tree of Life? It wasn't until after Eve and then Adam ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that they were cast out of Eden, and thus prevented from eating of the Tree of Life. Had Adam or Eve eaten of the Tree of Life, and not the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they would have lived forever, and not been banished. Bad choice?

1 John Chapter 3 Verse 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. And Romans 6:22-23 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So you need to accept that with your Salvation you should also have a life of holiness, not a life of torture where you flounder in sexual sin. If that isn't what you are experiencing; perhaps you need to take an honest look at where you really stand. There is time to get it right you are young.

If you are obviously changed for the better by your conversion people you barely know will notice; let alone your wife. On the other hand, if you have all the same old warts and try to browbeat your new found faith upon others, don't expect a good reaction. So let your life speak for itself and keep your words to a bare minimum.

I have two identical semiautomatic handguns, one in the garage and one in my bedroom. I have a concealed carry permit and carry often. My youngest is 15 and they don't seem interested in guns, I don't keep them locked up. There is some risk with this. But the reason for having them is to give me a way to protect my family should there be a home invasion. I hope I never have to use it.
