BQ: One of two reasons-for some, it's the machine. For most, it's the romance and nostalgia, not to mention the carefree travel. Take the Coast Starlight up the west coast of the U.S. and you'll be hooked ;) One of my favorite songwriters-Tom Russell-does train trips across southern Canada, or through Mexico's "grand canyon" with musicians, food, alcohol. They run about 3500.00 a ticket, but I'm going to try to swing the next Canadian trip. http://www.rootsontherails.com/

Because the law forbidding Christians from eating blood is reaffirmed at Acts 15:19-20, 28-29 and 21:25. "As for the believers from among the countries, we've got sent out, rendering our selection that they will have to hold themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as good as from blood and what's strangled and from fornication.” These are the necessities for all proper Christians, principally these Gentiles coming into the organization, but without circumcision. It is a continuation of God's legislation seeing that Noah and loved ones left the Ark. Likewise too,though it isn't possible to dispose of every molecule of blood from animal flesh--then and for probably the most section today, God's regulation intended showing admire for the value God placed on the blood. We would then correctly get all of the blood eliminated that we are able to moderately do. I select "good-achieved" meat myself.
