It was cute and, frankly, refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-1161710994603993082006-10-24T10:29:00.000-07:002006-10-24T10:29:00.000-07:00MenoYes, sneaking is good.

Or when hubbie is out of town, bask in the 80 degree temp for a few days.<BR/><BR/>Casey<BR/>Good point about the lack of hell in the Bible too. Revelation does mention a lake and fire that awaits the sinners after judgement day. No mention if it's blue or not.<BR/><BR/>Lara<BR/>You make me laugh.<BR/><BR/>Michelle<BR/>Me too. This was Ken's favorite part about my pregnancies. No more thermostat wars. <BR/><BR/>Jam<BR/>I agree. It's hard to resist the many jokes to be told. The newspaper even had one headline that said "What the....?"Julie Q.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13737557893649934725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-1161694013051627772006-10-24T05:46:00.000-07:002006-10-24T05:46:00.000-07:00I'm thinking those marshmallows will be cotton bal...I'm thinking those marshmallows will be cotton balls at best. Or worse.<BR/><BR/>Also I think "a conference on hell" is a seriously juicy, ripe for riffing topic. How does someone announce such a thing with a straight face? Granted it's a serious topic for most faith-oriented circles and mindsets, but still. I mean, reviews, summaries, analyses - at least the opening and closing paragraphs - pretty much write themselves for anyone with even a slight sense of humor.<BR/><BR/>If I attended they'd kick me out I'm sure, for just the look on my face if nothing else.<BR/>;-)Bill Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814379524664994701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-1161665401083223142006-10-23T21:50:00.000-07:002006-10-23T21:50:00.000-07:00Yea, the only time I'm not cold is when I'm pregna...Yea, the only time I'm not cold is when I'm pregnant.

I read a hell! today in second Nephi.

Thus, hell is not a place of drab reds and yellows, but a very brilliant cobalt. <BR/><BR/>I hate to get really dorky about all this, but the Bible rarely mentions Hell. It's left out of the old testament entirely (don't try to pull that Sheol crap on me, theology majors), and in the new testament, Hell is a place of death, not a place for permenant torture. Sinners are pretty much just wiped out wholesale without respect to just desert. <BR/><BR/>Your Dante Hell is pretty much the only Hell. He basically invented it.Rock Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423586808052660867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-1161634792927914592006-10-23T13:19:00.000-07:002006-10-23T13:19:00.000-07:00I am with you on the cold thing.
