No More Anonymous Comments...

I have taken back the ability for people to make anonymous comments. I first wanted anyone and everyone to be able to comment. I was hoping they would at least give a name or title when they made a comment, but I have found that people like to making anonymous comments because it keeps them from being responsible for their comments. I don't like the fact that people must join blogger to make a comment, but anonymous comments bug me more.

On a side note, I received an anonymous comment (consequently, I deleted it) saying that I had problems with my grammar. I want to get some feed back from you guys out there in the blogosphere, should a blog be polished and correct in every way or should it be a person's thoughts free from the normal constraints of grammar. This particular commenter made the claim that by having bad grammar in my posts, I am making all youth pastors look bad. What do you think?

Hi Youth Guy,

Hi,

Jaws recommended your site to me this afternoon.

Regarding our human desire to appear slick to our peers via proper grammar, dress, or even Bible knowledge, the Scripture that comes to my mind is Acts 4:13

“They saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus”.

I think we should strive to be able to present Christ to English professors as well as grave diggers. That’s reasonable service.

But the important thing is for us to be with Jesus. Without His presence what do our words, or our grammar, or even our lives matter?

I don't have hours to spend proofreading my blog, and neither do you, so don't worry about it.

My real problem is that I've commented on your posts, but you've never responded to my comments or even responded to my "Hi," even though we haven't seen eachother in years.

(You did link me, which was nice though).

Keep keepin' it real.
