What's Wrong With Having Hope?
by DakotaRed in
1. jw
2. friends
i have noticed for some time now, that when anyone mentions having hope in something said by the bible, some come forth and start asking pointed questions designed to denigrate that hope.

if one says they hope there is a god, someone else will come on ask how could that be because of all the ills in the world.

if it is said that one hopes the earth will be restored by god, another will come on and start asking what about lions being vegetarians, and eating birds and mosquitoes and such.

her ladyship and i are musing on the idea of having a weeks break in late october, so we now have to decide where we will spend it.. it will probably be madeira again.

it's clean, warm, the people are pro-british and the island is stunningly beautiful.

we love the levada walks, the food is delish and cheap, a 3 course meal for 2 with wine is less than 20 pounds.

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic in

2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
