Household tips
I collect household hints and tips: things that make life a little easier. Here is a random sample:
- Chewing gum: if you get chewing gum on your clothes, freeze them or cover with ice, then crack and scrape off.
- Crayon marks: if you get crayon marks on the wall, gently heat with a hairdryer, then wipe off.
- Ice cubes: keep at least two trays of ice cubes in your freezer; you never know when you might be caught short.
- Paint on hands: to remove paint from your hands, rub a little olive oil into them - it also helps soften them - but remember to rinse to remove the smell!
Am I helpful or what? More tips soon…
Bible Facts
I read some of Job (widely regarded to be the oldest book in the Bible) the other night and I was surprised to find the shortest verse in the Bible. I always thought it was John 11:35 ("Jesus wept."). But no, in my NIV (New International Version, the most popular modern translation) Bible it is Job 3:2 ("He said.").
I expect the other facts I learned in my youth are still valid:
Longest chapter: Psalm 119
Shortest chapter: Psalm 117
Longest verse: Esther 8:9
Longest book: Psalms
Shortest book: 2 John
