No problem…I just think that if I scanned the article correctly, it is a piece of advocacy masquerading as science,,,

As I said earlier…I thought we were trying to avoid that kind of misinformation.

Tim, it seems like several of us are disengaging. Might get mighty quiet around Throck for awhile. Fewer of us to stir the pot.

This seems similar to Ann’s comment:

I realized I was not being effective and that perhaps the timing was not propicious to continue.

And similiar to what I have been feeling. You start to question your use of time and energy. Is it time to add it up and take account of the things where we do agree? Is it tIme for concensus? Or have we gone about as far as we can go with this?

I appologize for not responding to the questions you have addressed to me. I am choosing to disengage for a time and will not be participating in the conversation here at this site.

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

Hope you all have a blessed day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpTSPFoGO-w&feature=related

I know there must be more useful and more uplifting things to talk about. Maybe that’s the concensus we are reaching…

Our church choir is off for the summer, so I am the soloist today — anthem and offeratory. It is a small but loving church. And, literally across the street from my house. After that, I hope to visits family and friends. It’s not like being straight, but I love them anyway. 🙂

Enjoy your day. Love the Big Easy! I can hear those saints….
