You are part of a team, (together everyone achieves more) remember the acronym. You guys got the gift so use it. This is what you guys are equipped to do. Your teaching more people than you could through a book. And besides, your sitting down, in the air-conditioning, with a cold beverage of your choice, beating the heat and out from amongst the elements.<BR/><BR/>Looky here Cent, if your still a little upset because of that person who railed you on that whole cartoon character thing….well, you shouldn’t be. You guys both made some valid points and to the credit of both of you I and others are more knowledgeable in the Word and better equipped at reaching and reasoning and warning the lost. And that’s a good thing. God Bless you and have a much needed vacation. Now I’m gonna get banded for 6 months for bringing that thing up you watch.

He would probably say the same of blogging. Blogging seems to be such a risky endeavor. I am glad that the fine thinkers among the Pyromaniacs are willing to do the hard work, so thoughtfully, and to take such risks (energy, ego, privacy, etc.) in defense of the faith. May our Lord bless each one of you maniacs in your endeavors.<BR/> My only criticism of the Pyromaniacs blog is the lack of images of kittens.brentjthomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197159838621341857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-48284721497546923412007-06-30T06:35:00.000-07:002007-06-30T06:35:00.000-07:00True thoughts.

Some of us though may have found that blogging tempted us into a life of activity that only inhibited us from experiencing the rest He wants for us at His bosom. We are all differant and have differant gifts for so many reasons. I am learning not to see others through my own lens. I really think many of us have that proclivity. Yet we can associate with one another; but only God knows what the deepest need of our heart is.Only Lookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074543462279905793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1933713592319452062007-06-30T05:19:00.000-07:002007-06-30T05:19:00.000-07:00Frank,Words are powerful things.

It's words, and words mean things. <BR/><BR/>In an age where images are king and emotions reign, we were getting dangerously close to losing written words as a means of communicating our thoughts. <BR/><BR/>In fact, with the rise of video games and the other various forms of visual entertainment, I dare say we were only being communicated to visually in a way that really did not engage our minds. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, I have always been a reader, and my wife and one of my daughters are also that way. So we are thankful that the internet is still full of words, and also offers a venue to pour our thoughts into occasionally. <BR/><BR/>Keep on writin' so we can keep on thinkin'!Leberwursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009160566385299355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-81100129078593377822007-06-30T00:51:00.000-07:002007-06-30T00:51:00.000-07:00good points one i thought i thought you were going...good points <BR/>one i thought i thought you were going mention that relates to your first point-is that I think there is a tendecy to think that we are somebody special when we are just sinners saved by grace.SBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420768244670972014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-64651021494196750822007-06-29T18:01:00.000-07:002007-06-29T18:01:00.000-07:00Don't push "Babyface" ...

It is hard to be as consistently good as you guys are. It's fun for us, who like theology and like to mix it up from time to time, but you are the ones who really do the heavy lifting. <BR/><BR/>In the "old days" people wrote books. They thought about the words, got them just right, then sent it off and let the public take it (or not take it) from there.<BR/><BR/>Blogging has the virtue of being instant, but also of perhaps not being reflective enough. Sometimes one takes a position or posts something he wishes he hadn't. But then feels he has to stay with it.<BR/><BR/>And the commentors! Boy howdy, can that be a mixed bag. <BR/><BR/>You guys have been great. Perhaps some short stuff that asks questions from time to time. Or a couple of paragraphs and let the meta take over. <BR/><BR/>Someone ought to do a study on the longterm effects of consistent, content rich blogging. Like eyebrows that won't stop. <BR/><BR/>anyway, God bless you guys. Thanks for what you do here.James Scott Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641370124346172648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-34336684982935083322007-06-29T14:20:00.000-07:002007-06-29T14:20:00.000-07:00frank-good to meet you guys, it's so great to meet...frank-<BR/><BR/>good to meet you guys, it's so great to meet so many great folks who love the doctrines of grace...the blogging discussion was about the most fun, the eyebrow thing was classic! <BR/>-Alan from Newportcslewis3147https://www.blogger.com/profile/12289363975357101232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-64169879803712222712007-06-29T13:56:00.000-07:002007-06-29T13:56:00.000-07:00Cent, is that your picture at the top?
