Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 4 Nov 15

For some of us we've come here from formats which are somewhat closer to blogs-and I am personally more used to a teaching setting. It's somewhat in the nature of my vocation. And mylot appears to be geared more toward...

GoodSamaritan Well it can't be that bad when stores like starbucks add a touch of salt to some of their drinks. I myself have tried it and never gained an admiration to it. Maybe I will one day visit again however, I don't really mind the bitterness of coffee.

Knowledge is NOT POWER!

CodingCoffee @GopherDanny (814) • Philippines 29 Oct 15

Most often than sometimes, I hear people say that knowledge is power. With knowledge, you can do great things. Such mindset is total baloney. I don't judge people who say that and I respect what they believe but we actually need...

Distraction?

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 31 Oct 15

When you don't know

Canadian Archer @HebrewGreekStudies (1646) • Canada 31 Oct 15

Because I'm more or less busy with home life right now, I've had to cut back re. certain things with work. But I still do take a lot of theological and linguistic questions from people. Sometimes I can be helpful, but sometimes...
