My mother told me: never discuss religion or politics. That is about all I talk about.

had setbacks, but the blog is working again and I will be posting.

I found inspiration. This fall I'm going to launch a religion and theology series - aimed at the kind of questions that my kids have/are struggling with.

It will debut in September. It is quite a focus in my mind- and so will strongly flavor the blog for the time it will take to cover all the topics.

Any suggestions for improvement?

I bought that Kirk Franklin song, "I am God". It revs me up- it brings me to earth... it makes me remember the important thing: The Lord is God, I am not.

That shouldn't be so easy to forget.

Samantha Pierce had a wonderful song posted,from Kirk Franklin, and while I was listening to more of his music on youtube he siad something. This week I plan to devote some time posting about it, because it turned around my thinking and gave me the key for this year.

It will show up on the feed. I'm very excited to share on this.

Now upgraded to wp 2.7 and aiming to be better than ever.
Here something i wrote several years ago in "Getting to Know God":

"The saving grace here is the fact that the Holy Spirit has been given and He actually guides one out of the mistakes and defaults we like to put on autopilot when we pray. He’s a friend who really knows you. Got any of those? Who sees through the games and the pretense of all those coping mechanisms that we use to tell ourselves we are all right and we will do better if we just get what we want. The Holy Spirit is a friend who sees through that and brings us into the real business of knowing God, God’s will, and what is best."

Truegrit seems to be down - every once in awhile this happens. It is why I am thinking of pulling the whole thing over to my own domain-even though it would mean starting over from the very bottom of search results and links.

John of Hootsbuddy is giving me some things to think about in the "Peter Schiff" post.

I wrote today and lost it all...you'd think I would learn. I have scribefire, but thought I'd shortcut.
