at least: O, Praise Him!

Well, it's been a long time, and I go back and forth about "blogging." I've basically decided that the internet doesn't exist. So, if it exists on the internet, then it doesn't really exist. Online is just another way of saying, "not real."
That being said, my thoughts might as well not matter online as not matter offline. So, to that illustrious end, I'm going to be posting again, maybe regularly, no promises. At any rate, it will force me to do a little editing and give me a reason to write a little more. Some place to put all that doesn't fit in my sermons, at any rate.
Again, if you're wondering, you can listen to my preaching at FBC Palmyra dot com. Also, if you don't have enough book reviews and interesting but useless quotes from books clogging your feed reader (Google Reader), feel free to subscribe to mine.
Finally, below, or somewhere in this post, there's a great video. If you need a little pick me up,...you're welcome.

But seriously, folks...

We all have our moments and the following insight may be helpful when interacting with others who are having their own " moment."

A Synopsis/Outline that is extremely helpful: Coping with Difficult People. (on MineZone)

Thanks, Internet Monk

The Internet Monk got some major props from Bill Kinnon today. And he deserved every prop. Michael Spencer articulates so many things with such a helpful authenticity, while moored to a deep commitment to God as revealed in Jesus. He's a gift to the church, and especially pastors.

God bless you, Michael Spencer.
