Bible Note: I must admit, I don't understand how my post introduced the concept of repentance into this discussion BUT since you brought it up, I'll respond. I agree with you, I do think that a lot of folks don't understand the proper and full meaning of repentance. As I'm sure you know, it does mean a complete reversal from the previous lifestyle of sin. That lifestyle means different things to different people. To some it's obvious when sin dominates their lives; they must repent and resolve and stop those sins of commission. But to others who are fairly good people with a mostly good moral life, they seem to miss the fact that they, along with all of us need to repent from their shortcomings and learn to stop the sin of omission in their lives.

Also, don't forget the teachings in James, especially Chapter 2. Yes, emphatically we are saved absolutely due to the work of our Lord, BUT our Lord is expecting to see OUR works as proof that we really are His children and NOT just saying "Lord, Lord" to get ourselves into Heaven.

Thanks for the tip on mold. I actually had a rug for a few months and paid handsomely for it at the encouragement of my wife. But it just wasn't for me. The biggest thing was it was expense in monthly maintenance and washing it with expensive shampoos.

God bless you, dear friend. --Rowdy
