Another Vikings fan thinking I’ve got nothing. I’ve felt like that since Sunday night.

Thanks for your blog, I enjoy it.

Edie, what encouraging words and I am so thrilled to see a post on this, where many will come and read.

How sad though, to see that many commenting on this indeed do not understand Christ’s COMPLETE fulfillment of the law for us, and that we CANNOT possibly earn salvation even if we try with good works, to “be better”– there is no way — we all fall short. We can only accept His grace, by faith as such. My prayers go out for those readers.

I am so sorry you have the Yucky nose (as I tell my boys.) Love the post …even if it is a repost. I had a similar one today. Overflowing by it all!

The proportion of the column and the sidebar are good! I also like the lighter red in the sidebar because it is less distracting while reading the main column (and nothing is flashing or moving).

My screen is rather large so the pictures are a nice size the way it is now, too. (al-most don’t need my readers

Edie, I love the repeat because it is new to me! I have recently started following you and really enjoy your blog. I was raised in a very strict religion (no dancing, no pants, no shorts, no make-up, etc.) which to me is all about me and nothing about a Saviour. I did find “Him” though but have struggled my whole life (50+ years) with legalism. Your post was very enlightening. Thank you and I will look more into Pastor Cwirla. He sounds very interesting. But if we are all going to the same ‘Heaven’, how can we all believe so differently? That one always has confused me. ~Mott

I like the sidebar!

Oh yeah, I also LOVED the Harry Potter books. I agree with you completely on your analogy!

Love your new look!!! I love this story…Jesus is our perfect example – he is “the good samaritan”. Oh how the world, our homes, our marriages, would look so different if we followed His example! I believe Jesus spoke in “parables” so that we would question ourselves…(He often gave the answers in the form of questions to those who were present) Question ourselves to see if we “are loving our neighbor as ourselves” or examining ourselves as Paul states in 2 Corinthians “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; tests yourselves…” He wasn’t saying this to non-believers, but to Christians – we all have times in our walks where we need to “question” if we are growing in His likeness…this is what His parables do for me! God Bless!

Thanks Edie. I need to read this a million times and have it sutchered to my brain. I’ll have to look at some of my older posts and repost now and then, great idea. I’m kind of embarrassed at some of them. BTW, I like your blog with the side bar.
