It just seems like common sense to me. If you are going to do something, learn how to do it well. If you don’t know how to do it or do it well, then at least listen to the people who do. Some bloggers seem to think all they need…
Shortly after Michael Jackson died, there was a swarm of news articles, blog articles, Facebook postings and general adoration for the King of Pop. However, not everyone was saddened by his death. Do you remember Congressman Peter T King from New York? “This low-life, Michael Jackson — his name, his…
21Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Exodus 22:21, King James Version) What is the one thing the Church of God can do to become more Christ-like this year? What is the one thing you can do to become…
I had planned on doing something different this week. I had wanted to do a year in review and a look ahead for various COG organizations. I was hoping to make it humorous. I was hoping to make it light-hearted. I failed. Very little of it came out actually humorous. …
