Comment Moderation
I want people to be able to leave comments without anyone having to “approve” them – so they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason puts all comments (including my own!) into the spam folder. I have to go in, see a comment in spam, mark it “not spam”, then “approve” it. I have checked and rechecked the WordPress settings and do not understand why it’s not letting people post comments that appear immediately. I apologize for the inconvenience.-

REVIEW – The Great *Assimilation* by Phyllis Tickle (or) Resistance is futile

POLL – Change name of this website?
You will notice a poll widget in the sidebar. Why am I even asking this? Basically for the first year this website was mostly about personal news and especially theological reflections. And frankly I think that is when people enjoyed … Continue reading

And now truth and common sense
I hope my excellent friend and brother J_ forgives me for quoting without express permission but I thought he summarized well the current mess in a recent post at BaptistLife.Com. What is even more interesting is how all of these … Continue reading
