While working my way through the advice and portents, I came across this article that puts all those hard won truths of large families into one succinct and heart warming summary. [...]

Changes- semi hiatus

May 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment · announcement

For at least the next month I willl likely be sporadic in posting… and for a while there will be none. I have already put comments on moderation, so there is a big delay in seeing them on site. Sorry, but the spammers are merciless.

Do banks even train their people?

May 25th, 2006 · No Comments · Cat-in-a-bag

My experience says no. They want your money, they want to sell you “products”, but if you try to perform even fairly simple matters, if they aren’t everyday situations ( that is what I guess from the monumental trouble the personal banker has iin figuring out what to do), the people in the banks have [...]

WittenbergGate: The Usefulness of Creeds

May 18th, 2006 · No Comments · Church

Dory ofWittenberg Gate:
I see creeds and confessions not as promoting division, but as promoting openness and honesty.
….How can a group expect other Christians to work alongside them or join their movement if they won’t tell us what they believe? How can we even know if they are genuinely Christian unless they will state at [...]

Egalitarian

May 17th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Cogitations
