38As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law.

Now that I think of it Daniel, you like the Law so much, I bet you also have a long robe!!! LOL  | No way; I would trip on a long robe walking round Belfast.

Scripture and formal prayer are a pair with me.
When i am walking closely with God i spend about 3 hours a day in prayer and read about 9 chapters of the Scripture.
When i am not walking that closely, i spend about 30 minutes a day in prayer and read 1 chapter.
This is the type of question that folks tend not to give a straight answer for because on the one hand you don't want to appear prideful, on the other hand you don't want to appear lax in your duty.

Daniel, I will go on record to say at times you infuriate me, but you can take a joke and dish it out.. | That is great ; I would go on record and say that I do not i ntentionally go out to annoy anyone, but when I feel there is Biblical warrant for making a strong statement (which may offend) then I will make one. Taking and dishing out jokes is one of the best things about being an Ulsterman. I sometimes wonder if Ulstermen wrote the Bible, as the humour and sarcasm of Scripture is similar to our culture (I am not being serious when I say that).
