That’s why I almost always avoid using strong language. I’m just not prepared to rule them out entirely given the select biblical occurrences we see.

You hit several good points, Jackson, but as Daeus summarized, I see them as strong cautions instead of absolutes. Overall it’s been amazing to be a part of the intelligent discourse throughout this series and I respect those who’ve shared their differing views.

@elizabeth Snowshoes can look like tennis rackets, but the pair I got from Costco is a little bit more modern 😀

I’ve only been to Florida once *looks sadly at the jar of shells on my windowsill against the backdrop of snow outside*
