New place to go and visit...

I just wanted to let you all know about a new site called Rahab's Kitchen. It is a place to come and sit and have a cup of coffee and just talk - share - encourage each other. Check it out if you want. You'll probably find me popping in out, having a cup of tea and some cookies...

I'm busy. Learning. Getting fixed inside. ;-)

Getting ready to start digging in the wounds again, cleaning them out (the emotional ones). Scary but necessary. Hugs to you and Anette and the kids.; September 25, 2008 at 12:29 PM

COMMENTS POLICY

1) I have yet to delete or not publish a comment. Keep it civil and we'll be fine.
2) I have my blog set so that after a post has been up for two weeks, comments are moderated. This is not to screen comments but rather so that if someone comments on a post I wrote two years ago, I am notified. Otherwise, I would not know and would miss the comment.
3) If your comment is not published and you do not hear from me, that means it probably got sent to the spam folder - the program seems to do this randomly - and I don't always remember to check. So please feel free to leave it again and/or email me and ask.
Thanks and enjoy.

FAVORITE QUOTES

"When you preach the Gospel, first make sure you're not bluffing" ~ Nick Bulbeck

"Trying to force someone to have faith is like putting a gun to his head and saying, 'Love me or I'll pull the trigger.' It's counterproductive." ~ Martha Beck

"Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”- Albert Einstein

"He who sells miracles will soon find the Devil at his door." ~ Elliot from Leverage

"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." ~ Galileo

"I like it better when God leads than when I'm trying to push him." - Kim Cattoor

"Mankind was not made to serve laws. Laws were made to serve mankind. When we begin to sacrifice people on the altar of the Law, we move from mercy and grace to tyranny and abuse." - Jeannette Altes

"It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him. We must not use the Bible as a sort of encyclopedia out of which texts can be taken for use as weapons."- C. S. Lewis

"But herein is the Bible itself greatly wronged. It nowhere lays claim to be regarded as the Word, the Way, the Truth. The Bible leads us to Jesus, the inexhaustible, the ever unfolding Revelation of God. It is Christ 'in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,' not the Bible, save as leading to him." - George MacDonald

"If our primary purpose for studying the Bible is to use it to prove to someone they are wrong and we are right, we are, at best, a spiritual 2 year old and at worst, a spiritual sociopath." - Jeannette Altes

"Never confuse the will of the majority with the will of God." - Unknown

"...I've heard it described thus: much of historical church teaching in the West has presented us as sinners in need of salvation. But the Gospel goes further, and describes us as orphans in need of adoption." - Nick Bulbeck

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect." - Mark Twain

"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed." - G K Chesterton

"All that is gold does not glitter,
- Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
- Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
- A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
- The crownless again shall be king." - J R R Tolkein

“Just when I think I know who and what God is, a huge wave comes along to remind me that He’s so much bigger than my ideas about Him. There’s no taming the ocean and there’s no taming God. God is boundless, untamed, life-giving. But also, God is not safe.” - Elizabeth Esther

“He who begins by loving Christianity, better than truth, will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"You cannot make peace with an enemy that does not want peace. This is the fundamental lesson of the Twentieth Century." ~ Benjamin Netanyahu

"I do the wrong, and first begin to brawl.
But then I sigh; and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villany
With old odd ends stolen out of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."
- William Shakespeare, Richard III

"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it." - Albert Einstein

"Some people believe that Jesus rose from the dead because the Bible says it and the Bible is true. NO! The bible is true because Jesus rose from the dead! We are Christians not Biblians." - Brian Midmore

"True heroism is remarkably sober; very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."
~ Arthur Ash
