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.

Another Portrait


This of my daughter. I took the photo and then looked at that to render the portrait. Mixed media - pencil with watercolor washes.

  • She is such a sweet girl, my Charlotte - she will be 10 next month. I am so thankful for her. God has really blessed me and my husband in giving us the opportunity to know her.

  • I like it a lot, Rose, especially the eyes. Nice work!

  • Lovely work, Rose. I think the portrait separates the men from the boys (excuse the gender!) in art work. It has to be pretty near 100% or the work is spoiled. Meanwhile the rest of us (mere boys)can but doodle.

    P/s If you become famous, I hope you will still find time to keep your blog going.

  • Wow, Rose. You have portrayed her so well, it's almost like she is speaking to us! Thanks for sharing the gift God has given you with us.

  • Thanks again for all the encouragement.

    GNSH: famous? What? are you saying I am not already famous? I thought I was the most reasonable blogger in the world? That has to bring me some fame? ;~)
