I bought all new appliance right at 4.5 years ago. I didn't buy the warranty. There was supposed to be some factory warranty, but they ended up expiring or didn't cover the problem. Since then, my Maytag dishwasher, and Maytag oven, and Speed Queen clothes dryer all have had expensive repairs. The d...

Dissensions - implies strife or discord and stresses a division into factions. Sounds to me like what has happened to many Anabaptists. Perhaps the most fragmented group in church history. The city and vicinity where I live in southern Ontario has many Mennonite groups that at some point in time ap...

One of our local grocery stores makes an in-house guacamole that is most likely the best I've had. Just enough zip to it to keep it interesting. The down side is, once the seal is broke, it gets brown in a hurry. My wife makes hers then vacuum seals it in portions that she knows we will eat. The re...

I also don’t see it working to try to compose a church / school of people with wildly varying practices. It seems such a congregation lacks unity at a fundamental level. I don't know what you mean by wildly varying, but as I said earlier, there needs to be parameters of course. I'd rather be in a c...
