At any rate, I had 100 spam messages waiting for me in my inbox this morning! This one caught my eye for some reason—
Try to think of a better coreer option for you! Why wait?! We now thrilled to bring you this special offer to get your degree on-line! Millions of people all over the world took advantage of getting bachelor’s, PH’s, and Master’s through the net. And what’s more you now don’t have to wait years to advance your coreer. Ladder you correr! Call us around the clolck. You can proudly grasp your diploma within days!
So I can advance my "coreer around the clolck!" OK, If you have read my blog for any length of time, you know that I am not unacquainted with typos myself. (One of the legacies of the email generation is that proper spelling and grammar are now optional.) But if I am going to “advance my coreer around the clolck,” I want people educating me to know how to spell.
The idea that an education can be had “within days” is preposterous. Any diploma that you can “grasp” after ordering over the internet is not worth the paper it is printed on. “Anything worth having is worth working for” is more than just a cliché. The point of education is not the diploma you receive at the end but the process through which you go to receive it.
That also applies to spirituality. We don’t become spiritual people by going to church once a week or so. The Christian “walk” (Paul’s expression for our life in Christ in Ephesians) is a process in which we live our lives with God. As important as regular worship is, that is only one part of the experience of living for God. Daily prayer, scripture reading, service, worship, meditation—those are the characteristic of the spiritual life. You can’t order spirituality once a week any more than education is a piece of paper order over the internet. You have to live it "around the clolck."

Installing Spam blocker software can be like opening up your backdoor to sales people if those sales people wrote the software. (It is possible that by putting your number on a do not call list you make your number more valuable to telemarketers, does that make any since?) If you are working you are learning and the longer you work and the more people and places you work the more you will learn. Reading will help you spell better so keep up the good work and look out for those bogus spam blocker programs their are some. . . real scammers out there. . live and learn. . . eat to live and don’t live to eat. Sorry that’s all I can tell you
Rom.14
[1] Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
[2] For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
[3] Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
[4] Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
[5] One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
[6] He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
[7] For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
[8] For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
[9] For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
[10] But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
[11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
[12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
[13] Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
[14] I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
[15] But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
[16] Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
[17] For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
[18] For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
[19] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
[20] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
[21] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
[22] Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
[23] And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
and the niv says the same thing does it not? Are they not diffrent words (easier to understand)and saying the same thing. There will always be typos in need of correction because those who have great talent don't always have the facilities to proof read or have others with nothing to do but help proof read and correct any mistakes without loseing the intented message. Is'nt it nice to know that noone is perfect and we can all help one another. Our flaws will compliment one another if will just take the time and be patiant with ourselves and others, in love.
It is true that those who struggle with their schoolwork often get depressed and discouraged and those who are being abused have trouble concentrating but delivering them to drugged and shocking their brains will only make matters worse and while it will keep them “silent” and prevent them from witnessing against those terrible things it will insure that they will be altered for the worse. But thier are those who will be glad to do it if they can make some money off of it.
For many years in our country the treatment given to those who are struggling has been those things that reduce ones ability to reason is it any wonder we are becoming a country of incompetents!
