Hello, old friend!

I'm very honored to meet your sister, Purple Mountains Maj!

Do you know of any new welcome threads to which I can steer my sis?

Yes indeed. Every day I post the Oswald Chambers devotion on the Religion forum and I will be pinging both of you there in a jiffy.

I really like the Religion-Moderator's "ground rules" in the first post position for the Chambers devotion "Cyber-Chapel." It's so very important to create a safe haven. I think I'm a very tough minded person, but I really don't enjoy exchanging barbs with mean spirited people.

I honestly don't believe people who practice the sort of conservatism I was taught treat others that way. (Immanuel Kant: "Treat others as potential members of the kingdom of ends, never as means only." Jesus Christ: "Treat others as you would be treated." Moses: "Love thy neighbor as thyself.")

I even posted something awhile ago to try and introduce a little civility and "decorum" to "web discourse." [click here] I don't think it's had any impact, but there are some pretty decent links there if I do say so! :o)

God Bless you both reeeeeeeeeeeal good!
