Ahem, ahhem. Believe it or not, it has only been two months-give or take one day-between the last time I posted and the day that Tech Support arrived. So it's not like I've been that negligent.
Grrrr. I haven't gotten internet service at my new place yet, so I'm at the Cybercafe on base. They just told me I have five minutes left, which means I have to sign off. Tchuss!
P.S. Should I post pics of my house? I've only been living there for about two weeks now.

teck support wuz heer
Hail all,
In view of the grand void that has been the Dwarrowdelf in recent months, a friend of the editor has arbitrarily decided to take in hand the temporary management of the city. Although doing so means a hostile breach of the once secure gate, the long-term result will be a more prosperous and beautiful informational thoroughfare.
Cheers!

More Pictures of Switzerland
Just about all of the retreat-ers
. Can you find me?
I climbed on this huge rock next to the "death march" trail. I complied when they asked me to pose.
Distance of the "death march". We started on the valley floor at the right, zig-zagged our way kind of straight up, with the final part being mostly flat
up on the top heading left with regards to the map.
Wiping away sweat on the "death march". I finish in 2 hrs, 15 min. With a 30 lb pack.
Shot of a gondola from a gondola.
Really cool shot. (Not mine of course)
From the area of the Rodelbahn.

Question:
Is it correct to say that if a book/publication/manuscript has a passage that parallels/is in harmony with a verse from the Bible, that that passage is also God's word?
Example: the Koran and the Bible. There are many verses which say pretty much the same thing; but are those verses in the Koran also God's word?
1st Thessalonians 5:21 was referenced in chapel this morning redarding this question: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." -KJV Hold fast as gospel these passages from other books?
Um...

Finally
A Sunday completely free of work!!! Praise the Lord!!! Unfortunately, today was considered a "break" day, so there were plenty of activities scheduled, but...it's the Sabbath. The Lord's holy day of rest. So, I went to chapel while there was a 5k run going on, and after lunch they played flag football. And there was another softball tournament. I guess I regret that they planned these things for Sunday instead of a weekday. I know I would have enjoyed participating.
In church, I didn't recognize any of the songs we sang. The chaplain said something about one of them being good for singing around the campfire with young people. Well,...O.K. He also said that next week we'll be looking at the Koran, because it's important to know about it in order to be better witnesses to muslims. I don't necessarily disagree with that, but what can I say? I'm not sure what I think. Is it sinful selfishness to desire simply the preaching of God's word? Maybe save the study of other things to, perhaps, a weekday bible study? I know such a thing would definitely be hard to do, seeing that at the chapel this morning, there were maybe 7 or 8 people in attendance. And there might be fewer for a weekday study.
Anyway, it's going on 10:30 pm, or 2230 hrs, so I figure I should sign off.
Oh, and please, have no doubt that I would be calling home if I could. It's just that the nearest military base on the DSN network is long distance from my folks place. Well...I guess I could get a calling card, or something. Hmmm...
Nathan out.
