Its been a few years. I was surprised that my old account and password still worked here. How is everybody? What have you been doing for the last few years? What's new? Anything? Hopefully we are no longer the same.. and need reintroduction. I have been instructing math classes for the last 12 years. Still a Ham Radio operator, callsign KB8PGW.. but always getting involved in new activities. The newest is Traffic Handling. I pick up messages via radio from a digital board and deliver them the last mile to recipients. And relay outgoing messages to the National Traffic System. Still get involved in contests and Field Day. Still construct radio projects by hand.. Net Control operator for QMN, the Michigan Traffic Net. Nice bunch of people there. I will get to meet them in a couple of weeks at the annual picnic. What else. I loved Real Analysis, but it was the bane of my existence (stunk at it). It's taken me over ten years to figure a lot of it out.. I said once if the light really came on with Real Analysis I'd go back for the doctorate.. we will see about that. Still live in a town of otherwise nice people, they are pretty anti social. My best friend here is the cat of the residence, Samantha. Now have seven grandchildren. Six boys, one girl. Still believe in a God.. despite the world's best or worst efforts.. Exercise the best that I can. Getting older, problems with one knee.. but keep moving the best that I can. What about you? What is new, or what's not new?

Maybe you should. Maine is over 92% forest, with many rivers. We bought two woodlots, one parcel with a small bit of peat bog on it for $350 an acre and the other parcel has a quarter-mile of river frontage for $770 an acre. For a total of 150 acres of land. We heat our home with firewood, and we have a solar power system for our home and recently got a hybrid car that recharges from our solar system. Property taxes are pretty low [$1.05 per acre].

It's 24 and 11 for me. Okay with the first, still sad about the second. George

My daughter hadn't married her daughter's father when she realized she was pregnant. Still didn't for a couple of years but I'm glad she didn't abort either the pregnancy or the relationship. Later they had a son.

Interesting topic though. We claimed abortion was not murder. But when it came to my second child, unplanned.. at that moment, I felt that abortion would be murder. Abortion was not even an option. TWI's stance just kind of melted away like butter on a hot stove on a warm day..

To be clear, as far as TWI getting Biblical abortion right -- I've never really worked it in depth in over 10 years. My inclination is to agree that Biblically it's not murder. I think the issue that seems most egregious with TWI's PRACTICE based on the Bible is using it as an excuse for leadership seducing young women or another man's wife and then sending them off for an abortion to cover their tracks. Same with the practice of counseling someone to abort a baby to keep in line with the pregnancy policy. They used what seems to be Biblical truth as a license to sin, but what's new about that?
