Let's be reasonable with one another, shall we?

These are high and lofty ideals based on extensive study...

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.
Speak up ...
about the posts.
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.

Matthew's Way with Words

"Immorality is subject to the law of diminishing returns."

I think that is such a great quote ... and so true. Anyone who has had substance abuse problems or any other addictions can certainly attest to the truth of it. Good insight, Matthew. He said that in the post linked below.

  • Not only are the English funny...they are also incredibly profound.

    I'm off to enjoy some crumpets and tea in the sincere hope that I shall return profoundly humorous. If I return and I ask you to call me "Neville" - you'll know that I have found the Englishman's secret!

  • Jon, crumpets are not that impressive once you try them.

    Rather bland things. They are OK with marmalade, but I would'nt bother. Stick to dohnuts.

    God Bless

  • Are you feeling patriotic today, Rose?

    By Blogger Matthew Celestine, at 1/18/2008 3:03 PM  

  • I like the idea of sticking to donuts, bro. Matthew. In fact, I think they like the idea of sticking to me, as well!!

  • You're welcome, Matthew. :~)

    Jon,
    Yes, they can be funny and profound. I have heard that crumpets aren't very good. Matthew told me!

    Matthew,
    Yes, I am feleing very patriotic, but I have sworn off donuts. I like them too much.

    Donut Sticker-To-er,
    Again, you are so creative, man! Thanks for the fun! :~)

  • My pleasure Rose! Especially when those donuts are sticking to me!
