I’ve Said It Before

I’ve said this before and in all likelihood will say it again. It seems that the articles I take lots of time to think about and write garner far less attention than the ones I rip off in 15 minutes and post, almost without proofreading them. On Saturday I had a very limited window to write an article but managed to write out a longish piece about relevancy. Between me and you I barely even proofread it. I knew it was no masterpiece, but because the clock was ticking I did something I rarely do – I hit the Submit button anyways and just left it.

This morning that link has been published on a couple of sites that have fairly significant traffic and all sorts of people are linking in to read it. How embarrassing! Why can’t people do that to the stories I labor over and post only after making sure they really say what I want them to? I suppose this must be one of God’s ways of keeping me humble!

Now I don’t want to insinuate that I regret writing it or want to take back what I said – I just wish I had written it a little better.

    The Quiet Time Kickstart

    We are all people of habits. To some degree, we are always battling to establish good habits while battling to supplant bad ones. This is true of us in many different areas of life and most certainly true in our spiritual lives. In fact, some have argued that when we describe the way we relate…
