Freedom of Speech (painting)
Freedom of Speech, by Norman Rockwell, Image via Wikipedia, The way it was meant to be.

I know my readers love stories and this one is a doozy.

Do read it and wake up.

WHEN THE LAW IS NO MORE

Here you will find the amazing story of the true purpose of censorship

and the true purpose of freedom of expression

in a world gone awry.

Do read it.

And wake up.

Sunday Scriptures – Peaceful

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone–
for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God and one mediator between God an men, the man Christ Jesus,
who gave himself as a ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.

1 Timothy 2:1-6

Oh, the peace that comes when the land is well-watered!

As the weak winter sun begins its morning round, the snow softens, the webwork sags and becomes visible and then backlit.

Rare. A little like a church-goer who really knows the Christ.

Now look at this beauty:

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,700 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
