Good words, mdean. Happy New Year. Give my best to your fellow geeks in the pit. The new digs are looking good. I look forward to a tour.

Very well said. Thanks!

Indeed. Very well said.

The problem with sanctimony is that encourages others to look more closely for the feet of clay. The might be one way for each of us, but there is no one way for all of us.

It totally strips "self-righteous" of the righteous bit and leaves only self. Serious buzz kill.

As a believer, I do accept that there are eternal consequences to our actions. However, I believe that is up to the final judge. Too many Christians read about condemnation of one type or another and just can't wait to get the process started on God's behalf.

Some people just love an easy target. Perhaps it has something to do with the beam in their line of vision.

Someone's recanting, lord! Kumbaya...

Hope your 2010 goes better than your 2009, friend.

I'm confused, how can I be drunk? I haven't had anything to drink... Ditto what Stash said.

Common platitude, however, Jesus said that no one comes to the Father except through Him.
