Proverbs for Christian Blogging: Am I Sowing Discord?

10 comments

A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

The Danger of Assuming

14 comments

“Dear, can you find my face-wash?  It’s in a small bottle with a fuchsia colored lid on the dresser,” my wife lovingly requests.

Blogs I Like; Blogs I…Well…Not So Much!

19 comments

There are blogs I love and other blogs I don’t really like. Maybe you care about my opinions, perhaps you don’t. But I spent a lot of time on the road recently.  Blogging is way to big a part of my life and takes up way too much of my limited brain capacity, so I [...]
