Demands for Proof
February 9, 2010 – 12:02 am | No Comment

I hear it all the time: people, particularly non-believers, who challenge a believer to “prove that their God exists.”
The challenge comes, usually, because the challengers already know what’s going to happen: the believer, invariably, won’t satisfactorily prove the existence of God, no matter what they come up with.  Which is, of course, the main reason the challenge is …

Sunday Seven – Episode 165

Submitted by Patrick on October 19, 2008 – 2:38 pm | 3 Comments

The gas station where I buy the most gas here in Charleston now has regular gas selling for $2.95 a gallon. That’s still entirely too high, but it’s less than three bucks a gallon, so it’s still worth celebrating.

But even with the lower price, it’s still a good idea to look once in a while at the places you go and how much gas it takes to get there. This week’s question involves a little driving distance. It’s actually a two part question, in that in addition to destinations, I’m asking you to list the distance from your door. You can calculate this fairly easily with a site like Mapquest, or you can estimate if you’re good at distance.

So think of a typical week and come up with the seven places you go most often, then figure out how far away from your home they are. Simple enough, right?

  • First to play last week: Cassie of This, That & The Other Thing. Congratulations!
  • (According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)

Here is this week’s “Sunday Seven” question. Either answer in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your blog in which you answer the questions. A general link to your blog cannot count. Enjoy!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
Name the seven places you go most frequently each week and list the distance from your door.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.) You may include this link in the URL space when leaving your comment, or in the comment itself. As long as it’s there in one spot or the other.

MY ANSWERS:
1. Work, 1 mile
2. Food Lion, 1 mile
3. Church, 4 miles
4. Zaxby’s, 3 miles
5. Ladles Soups, 3
6. Charleston Coffee Exchange, 2 miles
7. Gym, 3 miles
