April 12, 2004

Real Live Preacher was grilled by an ‘important church man’ and said in his blog ‘It’s a very important spiritual discipline for me to let people like this think that I am an incompetent fool. It is critically important that I not explain myself to them. I just wave bye-bye and let them go.’

April 11, 2004

Jollyblogger impresses me again when speaking about blogging : “I see two areas where Christians need to take this to the next level.
