Give me a greeting when you visit. I appreciate nice-ness.
You can address another blogger ... and even disagree with them, that is fine. All I ask is that you leave censure and hand-slapping to me.

Be nice!

Q: Why do I like these quotes? A: Because they make me feel good. :~)

Earl - As I write, teach Sunday School, I think of people like you in my audience. It gives me a sanity check of what I am saying. Would what I say pass the "crap" or sanity check of you or others that I know?

KC -
You're a great sister ;-)

Colin Maxwell -
I enjoyed your post and desire to think these things out.

Loren - Your posting is full of many thought provoking points and excellent, searching questions ... you're really a very profound thinker.

Earl - You have a fun blog!
I really appreciate what you're doing.

Joe - You are my favorite theological blogger.

Jeremy - Good job ... Bye.

Todd - With blogs like this one there is plenty to be hopeful for in the blogsphere.

Matthew - Its nice to read an edifying Christian blog ... You are so level-headed.

Mark - You're real! The blogosphere needs more real people like you around.

Loren - I'll bet you stay up late nights thinking about all the theology that must be swimming through your head. I just want to say that it's great to see the ways in which God is challenging you, and using you to minister through your blog. The things you, and others here, have shared, are very thought provoking!

I think God is awesome. He calls red white and white red ... and He is reasonable all at the same time. He has a very incredible sense of color. This is important to artsy people like me.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(Isaiah 1:18)

Q: Why do I call them 'posts of note'? A: Because they are about things that I think about ... or have thought about ... a lot.

These are people that are so very reasonable.

Although I don't necessarily agree with everything all these people say, I do think we have something essential in common - proclaiming that the Word of God is the absolute truth.

    Rose is catching up on some well deserved rest. It may be some time before we get back into the swing of things.

    Merry Christmas,
    Brother John

  • Merry Christmas John!

    ,...Uhmmm.... Anyone have a guess or advice on how long Rose should / might break from blogging?

    I say 5 weeks is how long she should break but 3 weeks is a guess on how long she will...

    (This way we can keep visiting here... and help ourselves to the fridge.)

    By Blogger Unknown, at 12/23/2006 6:22 PM  

  • Just as long as you don't take all of the chip dip like my boys did today Jodie. Honest to goodness my wife bought a lot of chip dip what with our company and all and it was gone in a hearbeat and I barely got any. I should think though that Rose has her fridge stocked with formula...but oh thats right it comes in a can so it must be in the pantry or something.

  • I recall when we had infants, back before the Civil War, or as the locals say around here, the War of Northern Aggression :o), we did not get a full nights sleep for several months. Rose and John ought to be able to feel no pressure to get back on until they feel refreshed and ready, or that they can't stand being away from blogging, whichever comes soonest. :o)

    With Matthew away, Rose taking care of her family; I can pull quite a bit of mischief. Calvinism can stage a mighty comeback. It's predestined! :o)

    By Blogger Cleopas, at 12/25/2006 10:08 AM  

  • Thanks all of you for the congratulations and the well-wishes!
    This really really means a lot to me.
    HK Flynn thinks I will stay away from blogs for 3 weeks. (She doesn't know me?)
    I am feeling better already. It is almost comfortable to sit at a computer again (hehe)

    Brian,
    I had the first two kids with no pain meds and that was enough. These last two I have had the epidural. This time the epidural worked so well that I did not even feel a thing of the pain after it was applied. I was having small talk with the nurse when the baby was crowning. It is incredible.

    FORMULA??? I am an exclusive breast-feeding mother. Breast is BEST!
    (There is no other context under which a Christian woman could say such things.)

    Earl,
    Calvinism making a comeback? You are so reasonable and who would have known WITTY too?! I really enjoyed your comments here!!!

    Steve,
    Yes, you were good! I will put down my stones. haha
    Now where is Bhedr as I pick them back up? hehe

    I don't know what John means by "rest". He must be talking of the daytime hours. I need to teach Levi the difference between night and day. Discombobulated.

    Maildad,
    Thanks for visiting!

    Cleopas,
    I am glad you liked the name. Would it surprise you to know that Matthew (although the baby shares a middle name with him) thinks that "Levi" is a gimmicky name?
    tee-hee
    We love him for his honesty.
    We love you for your kindness.

    I love all of you for your KINDNESS and your visits.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS ... and GOD BLESS US ALL, EVERY ONE.

  • Thanks all of you for your congrats, for your blessings.

    Jeff, that is funny for me to read your comment. John and I were just discussing how we do not want to have 5!!!
