I know. You&#8217;re thinking &#8220;Whoopee! Lemme hear it!&#8221; Well, ya gotta think again. Sin is never good news. It drags you down, messes with your mind, fills you with fear, all sorts of bad stuff.

The fact is, those same Bibles say everybody&#8217;s a sinner. As in E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y. There&#8217;s no cause for any of us to feel special in that department. It doesn&#8217;t say much for [...]]]></description>

Nowadays, everybody and their cousin goes around handing out forgiveness like so many lemon drops&#8211;and feeling ever so self-righteous in the doing. Well, the Bible has standards, and ignoring them means what you&#8217;re actually doing in enabling bad behavior.

The basic rule is this: No [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s like out by you, but around here, school-bus yellow seems to be the coming color-of-choice for all sorts of vehicles.

I hope you noticed my absence. Redoing a web site is messy, what with HTML hieroglyphics scattered hither and yon, links that don&#8217;t work and general weirdness. Calling attention seemed silly, so I hid out for a while.
