Hehe, I think he is not. but even if he is, let him list HIS life achievements, see what they look like. BTW, I am not through by a long shot with the life achievement thing.
I am just drooling at the chance to work at McDonalds😉

I'm thinking his avatar is his passport photo, so not likely.

What has age got to do with it? I am fast approaching 70, sept 7 to be exact. So what?
I have worked on the Apollo project as tracking and timing tech, worked in Thailand for years on Space diversity microwave communications sites, Autec project on Andros Island, google it if you don't know that that is, 4 years in Israel as a field service engineer on Var ...[text shortened]... sparaging the entire series as not being worth the effort to find out about other religions.

Whoopee! Good for you. I'm not impressed.

The tenor of your posts, along with your cohort fmf, sound adolescent. You are no doubt set in your ways. I have only this left to say to you.

2 Corinthians 5:18-20
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. (italics mine)

There are plenty of religionists here who would suggest that he needs to search for some meaning and substance in his life in the 70 years ahead.

That's right. Because all he has done is for nothing if he never accepts
Jesus (Yahshua) as his lord and savior.

If your religionist creed can turn a life like the one sonhouse seems to have led into something that you see as being "for nothing", then surely you must realize how alienating and nihilistic your "spiritual" mind map seems? No offence intended.

Biblical quotations are the refuge of the emaciated intellect.

Thus says the Lord, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not
the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;
but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me,
that I am the Lord who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness
on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the Lord.
(Jeremiah 9:23-24 NASB)

Are these your words of wisdom from your Sponge Bob coloring book?

Oh, is that still bothering you? It's all in jest, my good man.

I see you're using the aquamarine crayon to color Sponge Bob. Very avant-garde.

How bleak it is that you think this copy and paste from a book somehow compensates for the shallow and regurgitated thing you said about another person's life.

Anyone watched this series?

Is it recommended viewing?

This is the first I have heard of it. I have led a sheltered life.

So your answer to the question of what you have done in your life, with your life, is to belittle my accomplishments, and then spout cut and pasted passages from your bible as if they were gems.

I ask you again, what have you done in your life, or with your life? You seem to imply your biggest contribution was to begat a boy who is now 36. Is that it? Your crowning achievement?

It's not a question of how accomplished one is in this life, but whether what one has done has any eternal value.

I will make no boast. This life will pass away quickly. When God asks for an account, my only answer will be Christ.
