This is a great Holy Ghost-wrought attitude, Bro US. Every Spirit-filled believer could say , "Amen!" to such a biblical thought.
Oh that we might all have a longing to "rescue the perishing, and care for the dying, snatching them in pity from sin and the grave; weeping o'er the erring one, lifting up the fallen, telling them of Jesus who is mighty to save"!

Sounds good to me, especially with the Lord blessing it. I've never tried homeopathy supplements; do you get them in a jar or some such thing?
I've done my walk today already. The road passed through a tiny forest, and the pavement was littered with those tree seeds which come down like little helicopters. Some of them had made it into the road. It reminded me of the good seed of the word of God which is perfect but, like the seeds in the road and on the path, will not bring forth in some, owing to the lack of a suitable ground to grow in.
When witnessing to workmates, one would always tell me that the seeds were falling on hard ground. And he was right. Another one was more serious, and after a convo with him one day, he showed me a picture he had been drawing while we chatted. It was a picture of a devil and a deep blue sea, and him standing in the middle. It fair took my breath away.

Certainly you may intrude, Humbled.
I've never heard of fried soda bread, nor fadge. What is this?
There seems a lot of frying involved. My Lifestyle girls at the GP's surgery have got me off frying anything, as they seek to get my triglycerides down, cholesterol, that sort of thing.
My GP told me I would have to go on statins for life to reduce these dangerous levels, and when I pleaded not to have those, she said the only alternative was to go on the Lifestyle Course and reduce it through diet and exercise. So I did, and it has worked! Without medication, just correct eating, drinking and exercise. And I'm still working on it.
Anyway, if you can eat a good fry-up without ill effects, don't let me put you off.

Now that's real interesting bro! I would also like to know how you do your eggs, as there are several different ways of cooking eggs. I have been told that the most cooking of an egg makes it safer.
I have a very similar breakfast, although I am trying it without the bacon rashers (which I bought in the 'medallion' style, where the fat is cut off). And so I have two slices of wholemeal toast, two poached eggs (slightly runny, done in an egg poacher), and a small tin of baked beans. Sometimes I have sliced and fried baby button mushrooms, which go with it very nicely.
If I lived right by the Sea of Galilee, I have no doubt I would like to have fresh fish for breakfast occasionally, done in the Galilee way, of course.
Did you know that Christopher expressed a desire this morning to visit the holy land? What an experience that would be! But it would be a long journey from the States.

Thank you Humbled for your post, and your great love in seeking graciously to get someone to change their self-destructive course. Older Christians always ought be always listened to, when they relate their Pilgrim's experience along the narrow road which leads to life. Many times, although much of this is related within the pages of Pilgrim's Progress, lessons are not learned by any other way than sad experience; it is in the nature of young ones to always think themselves correct. I myself went through certain chastisements from the Lord through a similar sort of thing you mentioned (it can become bigotry) and it took a long time to realise it, because "standing up for the truth" seems so valiant, like Mr Valiant-For-Truth in Bunyan's book.
But truth without a corresponding graciousness of life, and full of good works, and love for God and neighbour, can result in God saying, "I hate your sacrifices and burnt offerings", which, in essence, is, well.....
