I went to the gym today and stopped at the post office to send four books as gifts, two of the I AM Sermons and two Martin Chemnitz bios. I tried to stop at the P.O. before the crowd arrived.
I had to fill out a form just right, and while doing it, looked around to see the line all the way to the door. Christmas is when people come in with 20 things to mail or complicated presents needing forms.
The clerk tried to sell me stamps, at the new and very high price. I said, "No, I have so many forever stamps that my assets went up and so did my credit score." She thought that was funny.
On the way out, I said to the last man in line, "Don't worry, you'll be out of here by tomorrow." He tried to laugh. Nobody laughed.
The gym said I could be in the Medicare Silver Sneakers group, which means little or no cost. Two other pleasant surprises this week were refunds from equipment I sent back.
I also learned how close the words flattery and flat-earth-er are.
The new online class set-up is working well for me. I have time to get the Parables of Jesus going, all the way into February, and also a chance to catch up on storing the earlier Ustream/IBM videos.
Best Buy tried to get me to bring in my computer to settle the audio problem. I said, "Your employee promised to return; you have a legal obligation to honor the service contract you sold me." It took 40 minutes on chat for the customer service agent to agree with me. I love winning those little debates, pleasantly and positively.
Ten more KJVS - Super Giant Print - arrived for our free distribution. Big John has a good approach.
1. Do you have a Bible? - "No."
2. Would like to have one? - "Yes!"
3. You can have this. - "How much do I have to pay?"
4 No cost at all. - "Thank you!" A pastor's wife wrapped her arms around the big book. "MY Bible!"

| Doc Lito said he just got a 50 year old KJV. I said, "No, it is 400+ years old." |
One reason I appreciate the KJV so much is its universal appeal to all Protestant denominations. The new paraphrases are corrupt and written with deaf ears - the Evil Four - NIV, ESV, RSV, NRSV. CN's Beck Bible is the fifth. All five have a political anti-Christian slant.
Returning to the KJV would help all the Lutherans sects return to Luther's Biblical teaching. The apostate leaders would rather have the ridiculously bad Evil Four.

| WELS warns readers against the snip and clip Bibles - and the best example of snip and clip is their beloved New NIV! Duly noted - you hypocrites. |
