"In America any boy may become President and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes." - Adlai Stevenson Jr.
Early this morning I swapped out the brake light switch on the master cylinder and then did a preliminary brake bleed. Pam will have to help with the final bleed, maybe Monday morning before she goes to work. I also pulled each of the hubs and made some adjustment on three of the four wheels. Tomorrow morning I'll see if the brake lights now work. Fingers crossed.
I'm really hoping this finally gets Louise on the road.
We agreed that the food at Pita Jungle was very good. Moderately priced, and we're into cheap, so we'll go back, but only occasionally. We had very good service - attentive but not hovering.
We got there about 5:30 and the place was pretty full, and noisy. When we left about an hour later it was only half full. Weird for a Friday night, but there's a movie theater real close and we wondered if they had movies starting at 7:00 that people wanted to make.
Especially good humus.
I don't remember feeling this way on a Saturday night about a sermon. Tough one.
Our most basic commitment is to be a Bible church. It isn't about what the preacher has to say; he only relates what God has to say in the Bible. My job is to dig into the text, which typically involves working in the original languages, and then help them understand what it says. But after we've established what the passage says we need to discover how its truths apply to life in the 21st century.
We're working our way through the Book of Romans, and tomorrow we'll be in the first section of chapter 13 which is the central NT passage on the Christian's relationship with civil government. Here we are in the middle of an election season, right in between the two conventions, and we're in Romans 13. Almost like Somebody planned it.
I finally finished that book about the guy who got swindled in the 1920's and then spent years getting revenge. It wasn't a bad book but I wouldn't recommend it. For being non-fiction I didn't learn all that much.
It's 306 pages in paperback. A Kindle only tells you what percentage you've read, not how many "pages." The story ended at 78%; the rest was all acknowledgments and endnotes.
What should I read next?
