It -was perhaps this very consciousness wMch.made Mr. Sutton, so gentle in dealing vritk his second coa, who inherited his.mother's jealous, gloomy temperament. So ever-conscious was he of the misery oi it for the young ma© himself, that it -waa not in seeming oaly that ho wos kinder to ihe morose and silent lad thou to the elder brother (elder only by twenty minutes), who possessed liis father's genial nature, and that thorough sincerity which precludes the possibility of suspicion. But it was not of the Squire's u twin lads " Miss Macnair was thinking, as she and her brother-in-law strolled away from tlie river. It was of a theme far more conducive in her mind to uneasy speculation. Unfathomable as are the unuttered thoughts of one's companion, Miss Macnair's might have lain clear, as daylight before the Squire, by the utterance of her first remark. " Jtfbra is reckless, and volatile, and flippant." " Sum It up in a word, Caroline," put in "Wynter Sutton, pleasantly. "Say Kora is Irish." '• I wish she had stayed in Ireland." " You do not mean what you say," was the quiet rejoinder to this unpremeditated flash. ".Nora's mother was the early and constant friend of my wife and yourself. What could you do less than ask her here, and be kind to her, now that she is motherless —like our own lads ? " " Not much like our own lads," returned Miss Macnair, pleasantly appropriating the plural pronoun; " her father is —.why he and Nora aro like two senseless children at home at Baggallcy, and the whole estate is going to ruin as fast as it can. It never was worth much either. Nora must teel the difference when she is here." - " I hope she does," said the Squire, while a pleasaat light shone in his eye§. " I m$an, of course, in the boys' vacation," continued Miss Macnair, looking straight on before her; " but for my ewn part I don't like her manner of Toeing so thoroughly at home, even with, them."" "I do. While so young, at any rate, she need not be hemmed round with ceremonious stiffness. I'm sure the boys think of Nora as they would of a pet sister." " I don't like it,'| exclaimed Miss Macnair, with, inexplicable rapidity. " They are not brothers and sister, so why should they behave as such. ? " "Let the subject drop, Caroline," remarked Mr. Sutton, with a tone of pain in his quiet voice. " Nora is your guest here; and a motherless girl, who has not learnt so much perhaps as other girls have learnt —we seemed just then to have forgotten th#t. By the way, it is time they had land- eft aad. overtaken, ns." she eried, tyin^ on her hat hastily, ancl preparing to spnng from the fence. " Let's go and gather cherries now.. You two shall climb" and gather, and I'll catch and eat. That's a nice arrangement, feat it ? '* "An excellent one,'* cried the Squire, joining t*hem just as Nora alighted om the grass beside I)rury, and Ernest followed at her summons;' "• & fair division of labor indeed." "Did you see me wave my hat, Mr. Sutton?" asked the girl, turning gladly at the sound of his voice, and linking her hand in his arm with a familiarity which greatly quickened the regular breathing d" Miss Macnair. "That.was to show I had wor the race." "You had far too good a start, little lady, I wouldn't have allowed it if I had been either of the lads." " But you aren't either of the lads, I'm glad to say. Now suppose we have a race, you and I, Mr. Sutton; we'll ran to the cheny-orchard, and start in a line, to Lather the ends of justice. Miss Macnair, will you start us please — awfully fairly ? " Awfully is not a word to employ as yoa employ it, Nora," began Miss Macnair; " you, particularly, in whom nothing and nobody inspires my awe at all." " O, I always forget," cried Nora, tossing back her disheveled hair. "Papa uses it tooj so perhaps it's a manner and custom of the Irish. We often laugh at each other, yet we never remember to cure ourselves." " It should be cured," rejoined the elder lady impressively. "All in good time," put in the Squire, when he saw the shy color rise in the girl's cheeks. "I'm ready, Nora. One, two, three! Away!" Words would fail in describing the-rigid displeasure of Miss Macnair's visage as the two figures tied from her, followed by her nephews, laughing heartily; and cheering, when the Squire, using his reserved strength after his antagonist had exhausted hers, covered the last few yards with marvelous rapidity, and turned with triumph to meet Nora, as she came up panting and flushed, but laughing too. "Beaten, Nora! Unmistakably and ig. nominiously beaten." " It is better to race with you," said the girl, speaking to the young men as demurely as her failing breath would allowT; "you are far more easily conquered." "Is it so?" asked the Squire, laughing still, but gazing with a steady, almost questioning, gaze, into the young face. " I'm very glad." "Nowforthe cherries," cried Nora, noticing neither words nor glance. •" Who is ' going up the tree? I'm ready to catch." "All risht," cried Ernest swinsrinsrhini-A a b.vkct," remarked Mis*s Macn-ir in a •'. \ u>a% as the Squire looked round miconilb/iitnlrj "aad Drury, 1 suppose,'h;*$£>.vj to ^'ck Nm*a. Sive"," added the lady emphatically, M kas cf GQtvrw left." ** Yes," assented the Squire, wife a ner% ousneea whicli w<as new to him^ " I suppose so." " I have had a great shocks Wynter,'4 continued his sister, apparently- shrinking from the confidence which she volunteered. " I hope 1 may have been mistaken -in the conclusion your conduet forcedmpon me. 1 should deeply regret your having ever given Nora Carleton reason to believe that—" " The conclusion which fegsisliocked you is a jast conclusion, I dare o&y, Caroline," returned Mr. Sutton, a smile-breaking upon his handsome face. " You see 1 don't pre. tend to misunderstand youw I am going to ask Nora to be my wife."* , For a long minute Miss- Macnair stood to regard her companion in speechless wonder, and then only lour words passe*! her tightened lips. " You must be madr* Tlie Squire's smile faded. " Sometimes I think I am," he said, with gravity; "and sometimes I know not what Sreams of happiness, possess me, in spite ol my gray hairs." "" A fool's paradise,5"' was the muttered retort "Possibly," said Wynter Sutton very sadly; " if so, \% will soon have faded." "Then you mean to tell Nora ofthis ridiculous infatuation! If it were one of your own boys speaking so, Wynter, I couM believe it. There would be some thing a trifle more suitable in an attachment between Nora and one of £hem; and indeed I think there is such an attachment." If Miss Macnair had fancied that las^ blow would change the Squire's plans, she speedily became aware of her mistake. " If "it be so," was the quiet rejoinder, "my lads will find their father do his bz&t to help them on feo happiness." Then he was gone, and his sister-in-law was left to wonder and to fret alone. " What absurdity!w she muttered, as she impatiently started to leave the orchard. " A girl who might be his daughter, and who has, I dare say, looked upon herself often in tlie light of his daughter-in-law^. It wTould be a little less intolerable even if sh© were an English girl: they are older fer their years, and more sedate. Nora is in some matters a perfect baby, and I'm sick of Wynter's reiterated assertion that she is a true woman in spite of her random ways. Wait until he tries her—for there is no chance,, however slight, of his being refused the opportunity of trying her as his wife.. The idea of a girl who has been used to the irregular poverty of Baggalley refusing the master of High Sutton! She is vain enough to know the influence she' would possess; and—the idea is altogether hateful."

Japan is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why the country is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun". Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands, the four largest being Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku. Together, these four islands hold about 97 percent of the country's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with more than 126 million people. Honshū's Greater Tokyo Area includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures. It is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with more than 30 million residents.
Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is found in Chinese texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. Japan evolved into a cohesive society during the Heian period (8th-11th centuries AD). From the 12th century until 1868, Japan was ruled by successive feudal military dictatorships or shogunates in the name of the Emperor. In the early 17th century, Japan entered into a long period of isolation, which was only ended in 1853 when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to the West. Nearly two decades of internal conflict and insurrection followed before the Meiji Emperor was restored as head of state in 1868 and the Empire of Japan was proclaimed, with the Emperor enshrined as a divine symbol of the nation.
Periodic insurrections and civil disturbances continued into the 1880s. A modern constitution was promulgated in 1889 and a Western-style parliament established. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victories in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. From 1931, military expansion into China and Manchuria led to the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Japan allied itself with the Axis powers in 1940, and the war in China became part of World War II in 1941. While Japan initially enjoyed a period of military dominance, successive military defeats and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the end of the war in 1945, Japan's surrender and the loss of its empire. Under Allied military occupation lasting until 1952, Japan dissolved and restructured its military, adopted a revised constitution in 1947 and became a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and a democratically elected legislature.
A major economic power, Japan has the world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP and the world's fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity. It is also the world's fourth-largest exporter and fourth-largest importer. Although Japan has officially renounced its right to declare war, it maintains a modern military with the fifth largest military budget, used for self-defense and peacekeeping roles. According to Japan's health ministry, Japanese women have the second highest life expectancy of any country in the world. According to the United Nations, Japan also has the third lowest infant mortality rate. The Financial Secrecy Index ranks Japan as the 10th safest tax haven in the world, ahead of Panama but behind Jersey.
Private detectives and investigators in Japan find facts and analyze information about legal, financial, and personal matters. They offer many services, including verifying people's backgrounds, tracing missing persons, investigating computer crimes, and protecting celebrities. Private detectives and investigators work in a number of environments, depending on the case on which they are working. Some spend more time in their offices conducting computer searches and making phone calls, while others spend more time in the field conducting interviews and performing surveillance.
Detectives in Japan, are like police officers, who don't wear a uniform, nor drive patrol cars, nor patrol; instead, they spend much of their time compiling information and evidence for the cases they are assigned. They wear plain clothes, usually a suit and tie or casuals or depending upon the requirement at the time. Because private detective is a higher ranking and higher paid position than police officer, it requires more experience and knowledge and risk adaptability in any situations.
Performing general investigation, whereas some are specialized in certain types of crime. Special detectives focus on cases involving suspicious deaths. Once they rule a death is not by accident or suicide, but in fact a murder, they then proceed to delve further into the case and work until they either solve it or can go no further. They work closely with their respective units, which collects, analyzes, and reports the physical evidence, freeing up the detective's time to focus on suspects and witnesses.

Sure you get a sore throat, aches and pains, a runny nose and feel like you got hit by Rosanne Barr, but think of the excuses it gives.
You can get out of dinner with your in-laws or jury duty if you wish. When you are coughing and feverish, no one wants to see you, talk to you or shake your hand. They would prefer you hung a bell around your neck as lepers were once asked to do.
Influenza is not really fun, but you can look on the bright side.
Yes, it is difficult to think positively when feeling like drain hair, but it is better than dwelling on your possible imminent death. A positive outlook has even been shown to help ward off disease.
A major advantage earned by getting a strain of the flu is that, even though it morphs into another variety, you cannot get the same breed twice. This allows you to risk being around others with this year's form — although there is a good chance there are several kinds of influenza around, in which case your bravado is foolhardy.
One recent medical discovery, besides the drug Tamiflu, is that you do not have to starve a fever. Once upon your childhood you needed to feed a cold and put a fever on a diet. Now, you can freely eat as you recover.
When you get the flu, which is not a rare experience, your first thought might be that you never will recover, and you begin contemplating your eulogy. Chances are very high that you will recuperate, by the way, so do not give up. Eat up.
Some of us do not want an excuse to miss work or receive a pass from serving on a jury, so we go get a flu shot. Flu shots do not give you the flu. Some rare people don't feel great for a couple of days, but this is an immune reaction.
There are very few people who are not afraid of needles, but some of us are less afraid of needles than we are of illness. We go, roll up our sleeves and feel the pinch. That nanosecond is nothing compared to five days groaning on the couch.
And, there are negative aspects to the flu beyond the physical suffering. One is loneliness.
The people you want to kiss won't kiss you. The people you wish to be around begin to avoid you. Your social life dwindles to nothing.
Certainly, isolation is better than passing germs along to friends and family. Because about the time you get well, they get sick. They also blame you. Thus, to expose others leaves you with a dry cough and guilt.
Although, you could tell them that rather than condemning you, they should thank you for getting them out of jury duty.

Blog is short for web log. Wikipedia defines a blog as "a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order."
Run by an individual or a group, blogs typically feature text, photos and links to other sites. Some include audio or video files. Blogs are generally updated regularly, often by way of a journal entry, and many allow readers to post comments. Some families put up pictures and updates about their activities on blogs so that loved ones who live far away can stay in touch.
In recent years, blogging has also become extremely popular among young people. Recent studies reveal that nearly half of all blogs are now authored by teenagers who use their sites to network with their friends.
When I first discovered blogs, I was amazed how much time people spent reading them. I still am. Yet, I've too often sat down to read a blog and been shocked to look up at the clock and see that two hours has passed.
For all that's good about blogs, there are some down sides. The majority of blogs promote transient, light, emotional, and unreflective communication. Unlike great authors, no blogger I know spends years figuring out what they're going to say on their blog. For the most part, blogs focus on what's new, fashionable, or controversial. They can encourage quick and mindless responses that only feed our tendency to value temporal, passing things.
Of course, blogs can be beneficial if we use them wisely, understanding that they're only one slice of the way God intends for us to relate to the world. And a small slice, at that.
Before reading a blog, it's always good to ask a few questions:
My 17-year-old daughter started a blog where she posts pictures she's taken. She sent out an e-mail to let people know about it, and a portion of it said:
"If you ever have any free time and you're wondering, "What in the world am I going to do now?" don't go to my blog. Have extended devotions, or read some good book on our Savior, or serve your family. And once you've done that, come and visit my blog."
That's great counsel.
The blogosphere is a mixed blessing. Used wisely we can benefit from the lives, insights, and creativity of others. Used without discernment, it can be a temptation and distraction for anyone who wants to please God.
Whether you read, write or ignore blogs, I pray that God gives you grace to do it all for the glory of our Savior.
In May 2006 I visited a certain well-read Christian blog for the first time. The content of the day's post was a review of a controversial Christian book. I had been pointed to the post by another blogger who claimed the comment trail following the review was unloving and unfair. I, along with several hundred others, flew to the controversy. As I read through the comments, many revealed not only an aversion to the book but severe and specific criticism of the author's character.
As I scanned the comments — many seemingly dashed out in anger — I found myself wondering if these bloggers didn't have something better to do with their time than tear apart a fellow follower of Jesus.
Unfortunately this kind of graceless conversation among Christians is all too common in the blogosphere. "The secular world is not impressed with the Christian world of blogging," says Justin Taylor, proprietor of the blog "Between Two Worlds."*
Justin, whose blog receives up to 1,800 visits per day, believes that many Christ-followers are abandoning the basics when it comes to their online conversations. "Jesus said they will know us by our fruit and by our love, and a lot of blogs are failing in that."
Since the advent of the first web logs in the mid 90s, blogging has exploded. The Blog Herald accounted for more than 70 million blogs worldwide by mid-2006. And Christian leaders and laypeople alike are joining the trend at a rapid rate.
Not only are blogs prolific, but the blogosphere is growing in power. Bloggers are credited with exposing Dan Rather after he presented forged documents regarding President Bush's military service on the show "60 Minutes." After bloggers presented evidence, CBS ultimately apologized for inadequate reporting.
Christian bloggers wield this same power. But what we do with it impacts not only the kingdoms of this world but also God's Kingdom. This presents a new dilemma: How are believers to hold forth biblical truth in a digital age?
"In one sense the Bible has not a single word to say about blogging," Justin points out. "But another way to look at it is that every page of the Bible has something to say about blogging."
One verse Justin believes a Christian blogger should take to heart is Ephesians 4:15 (NIV): "Speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ."
While some bloggers may shy away from speaking the truth in favor of not offending anyone, Justin has more frequently observed the opposite. "Many bloggers are so concerned about getting truth out there, it doesn't seem to matter who they offend or how badly it hurts."
Carolyn McCulley, who ministers to single women through her blog, "Solo Femininity,"* agrees.
"Christian blogging is often characterized by gracelessness," she says. "As we write we should not be above the commands of Proverbs 31 to open our mouths with kindness and love, instruction and the law of wisdom on our tongues."
The Christian blogger bears greater responsibility than his secular counterpart because we answer to a higher authority. "The Lord Jesus Christ is looking over our shoulders as we type," Carolyn says. "And we are one day going to be accountable to Him for every word."
In light of this, believers should take great care when navigating the blogosphere, avoiding such pitfalls as carelessness, gossip and dissension. Christian bloggers should adopt a responsible view of blogging that incorporates the following basic disciplines.
Maturity. "A lot of people assume that just because they can blog they should blog," Justin says. "There are probably a lot of people out there who shouldn't be blogging."
Justin suggests bloggers consider their level of spiritual maturity before discussing matters of doctrine on a blog. "The Bible has a lot to say about teachers and their increased level of accountability to God," he says. "The more you blog — and the more people read your blog — the more responsibility you have."
If a person is questioning whether or not he should blog, he may want to blog under the authority of someone who is more spiritually mature. He could, for example, submit entries that give biblical instruction to a godly mentor before posting them (more under "Accountability" below).
Self-Control. Proverbs 10:19 warns, "When words are many, sin is not absent." This is never more true than in the blogosphere — an information medium that allows instantaneous dissemination of thoughts. "In a digital world, we have to work very hard to refuse the pressure of the immediate," Carolyn says. "Just because you can hit publish, doesn't mean you should."
Avoiding the pressure to post is counterintuitive for many bloggers. We are driven to be the first to comment on an issue and don't want to be left behind in an online discussion. Still, deliberation and restraint are crucial to maintaining a consistent witness.
When blogging about emotionally charged issues, Carolyn suggests allowing a cool-off period to evaluate whether you're writing out of anger, impatience or self-righteousness. "If you're questioning your motives, there's nothing so important that you can't wait 24 hours to post it."
Good advice, considering words posted online are not easily withdrawn. "Those words never ever go away," Carolyn says. "Once you put them up, they're there."
Accountability. Several months ago Justin ran across an article online that he found intriguing and wanted to blog about. "I also knew it could be easily misunderstood and a little too provocative," he says.
He sent the article to two of his pastors and half a dozen friends and told them he was considering posting it but wanted their counsel. "Enough of them responded that they wouldn't post it, that I ended up not doing it," he says. "There's wisdom in a multitude of counselors."
Carolyn also seeks counsel on her most sensitive blog postings. "I ask people, 'Am I being gracious? Am I being encouraging? Am I being accurate, for that matter?'"
Humility. James' advice to be quick to listen and slow to speak often goes unheeded in the blogosphere. Opinions fly with little regard for uncovering the heart of the matter. This is especially noticeable when blogging about those with whom we disagree.
Carolyn, who asks permission before writing about anyone on her blog, says it's helpful to consider God's perspective. "We're speaking about people God created and redeemed, and our lack of charity in conversation just reveals our own arrogance — as though we can see the whole picture of someone's life."
Instead, Christians ought to offer judgments with generous amounts of grace and humility.
Justin and Carolyn agree that when undertaken responsibly, blogging can be a tremendous ministry. And the beauty of blogging is that anyone can do it. Justin holds up Tim Challies' blog* as an example of this.
"Tim has become one of the most famous Christian bloggers," Justin says. He writes 150 book reviews a year. He has posted something every day for 900 days running.
"Tim hasn't gone to seminary. He doesn't have a Ph.D. He isn't connected to some famous Christian ministry. And yet he's a faithful Christian brother who has a sharp mind and is a good writer.
"Without the blogosphere," Justin goes on, "people like Tim would just be reading books in their offices. And yet people keep going back to his blog day after day because they find it helpful and informative and edifying. We need more people like Tim out there: people who are godly and have good minds and can speak the truth winsomely."
If you are already a blogger or aspire to be one, you've discovered fertile soil. Like Justin, Carolyn and Tim, you've been given the opportunity to spark conversations that draw people to Christ and inspire them to pursue Him more passionately.

That's the question I asked myself back in November of 2005, when I began a weblog called Worship Matters*, devoted to issues of music and worship. After leading worship for 30 years, I figured I'd made enough mistakes to keep me going for a couple hundred columns.
At that time, Technorati.com (a search engine for blogs and other always-updating content on "the Live Web") said there were 10 million other blogs in existence. I wasn't sure the world needed one more.
That was then. As of June 2007, Technorati.com claimed to track 86.8 million blogs and more than 250 million pieces of tagged social media. On top of that, the Washington Post reported that MySpace.com alone hosts over 100 million blogs. I have no doubt the number of blogs will continue to grow.
I read a number of blogs daily. Al Mohler (albertmohler.com) gives me quick insightful and biblical commentary on the news. Justin Taylor (theologica.blogspot.com*) provides helpful links to sites dealing with "Theology, Philosophy, Politics, and Culture." And Challies.com* helps me think through issues biblically.
More than anything, blogs have enabled us to communicate what's in our hearts and minds to anyone in the world who wants to listen. And you can do all of this sitting at home in front of your computer.
If you're reading this, there's a good possibility that you read blogs, comment on blogs, or write one of your own. If you never go near blogs, I wouldn't be too concerned. But for the rest of us, here are some things to keep in mind as we inhabit the blogosphere.
Christians might blog on a variety of topics and for a number of reasons, but they share one common goal:
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31, ESV).
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Cor. 10:31, ESV).
If God wants us to eat and drink for his glory, He certainly wants us to blog for the same reason. That means God has something to say about our content, attitude, and motive in blogging.
It's not hard to find blogs that are filled with foul language, pornographic material, and useless information. But as Christians, we're commanded to think about things that are true, honorable, just, pure, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Phil. 4:8). That includes quite a bit. What it doesn't include is saying whatever I feel like saying, rehearsing how lousy I feel, wallowing in self-pity, or stirring up unnecessary controversy. God says we'll be held accountable for every word we speak — and blog.
If you're going to write a blog, write about something that matters. Unless you don't expect anyone to read what you're saying, ask yourself if what you're writing will serve your readers in any way. It might be funny or serious, your own reflections or thoughts from others. Your blog might simply point to resources, books, or music that has encouraged you. But the content should in some meaningful way bring glory to God.
Here are a few subjects that should be absent from our blogs:
Lies. Sitting in front of the keyboard, it's amazing how easily we type things that we aren't completely sure about, that we never would want to be held accountable to, or that are slightly modified to make us sound more persuasive. As those who follow the One Who is the Truth, we should avoid any kind of falsehood, exaggeration, or unsubstantiated claim.
Gossip. One of the most common blogging temptations is to spread information about people we've never spoken to directly. This isn't the same as referencing public knowledge for the sake of illustration, which can build discernment. But too often, we gossip simply to exalt our own ego. "Why was Katherine hanging out with Michael?" "How can my boss be so insensitive?" "I'd never say what Drew said." "What a loser."
Intimate details. I stumbled across some blogs a while back that read like uncensored diaries, full of crude language, sinful desires, and sexual disclosures. What holds true for our speech, holds true for our blogs:
"But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving" (Eph. 5:3-4).
"But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving" (Eph. 5:3-4).
Another factor to consider in blogging is links. While it may look impressive or cool to have a long list of "Blogs I Read," keep in mind that you're recommending the content of those blogs. Unless you trust the source implicitly, you should only recommend blogs that follow the same standards you do.
God is also concerned about our attitude when we blog.
"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Eph. 4:29).
"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Eph. 4:29).
I read a newspaper article not too long ago about a woman who wakes up every morning and begins her day by blogging her anger against conservatives. While most of us wouldn't go that far, I wonder how often we use blogs to sin in a way that doesn't seem quite so sinful. "Corrupting talk" includes biting sarcasm, arrogant condescension, and harsh anger. We might rename them wit, experience, and justified venting.
It never seems very sinful when we're writing from our heart, striking a few keys and, pushing "post." No one's there to give us feedback and we're just happy we said what we wanted to say. That's why Christian bloggers need a generous dose of humility. The nature of blogging implies that I think I have something worth saying. That's misleading. The ability to post my thoughts on the Internet is no guarantee that I have any idea what I'm talking about.
For example during WorshipGod06, which we hosted, Tim Challies live-blogged the conference. One commenter took issue with some of the things that reportedly took place at the conference and launched into an attack on me, Sovereign Grace Ministries, and charismatics in general. I'm happy to say that after a number of folks came to our defense, the original commenter saw his sin and wrote this:
"Please forgive this over-zealous brother who spoke too soon, and without thinking through all of this first ... and please pray that God would grant me wisdom and discernment in all things, so that I might not hurt another brother or sister with the kind of comments I posted earlier."
"Please forgive this over-zealous brother who spoke too soon, and without thinking through all of this first ... and please pray that God would grant me wisdom and discernment in all things, so that I might not hurt another brother or sister with the kind of comments I posted earlier."
That was a turnaround that is rarely seen in the world of blogging and a clear demonstration of humility. But it's even better to consider our hearts before we open our mouths, remembering Solomon's counsel in Proverbs: "Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him" (Proverbs 29:20).
Finally, we need to examine our motives for blogging.
Sometimes my motives are godly, sometimes not. Often they're mixed.
When I started Worship Matters I was painfully aware of a desire to impress people. I had difficulty getting started and confessed in my second blog entry:
"Undoubtedly, pride has held me back. I don't simply want to write a blog on worship. I want to write THE blog on worship (it helps that there aren't very many out there to begin with). In my worst moments I'm hoping worshipmatters.com will be quoted, blogrolled, referenced, acclaimed, recognized, and well, worshiped. The fear that that WON'T happen, and that my blog will die after two weeks due to lack of interest, gives me pause.
"Undoubtedly, pride has held me back. I don't simply want to write a blog on worship. I want to write THE blog on worship (it helps that there aren't very many out there to begin with). In my worst moments I'm hoping worshipmatters.com will be quoted, blogrolled, referenced, acclaimed, recognized, and well, worshiped. The fear that that WON'T happen, and that my blog will die after two weeks due to lack of interest, gives me pause.
"Ironic, isn't it? One of my motives for writing a blog on worshipping God seems to be gaining glory for myself. Come to think of it, one of my motives for almost everything I do seems to be gaining glory for myself."
"Ironic, isn't it? One of my motives for writing a blog on worshipping God seems to be gaining glory for myself. Come to think of it, one of my motives for almost everything I do seems to be gaining glory for myself."
Fortunately, God gives grace to overcome our sin. But if we don't acknowledge it, we'll never be able to repent from it. Here are some possible signs that I'm blogging for my own glory:
I'm sure you can think of others. God's words to us in James are relevant to blogging:
"Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic" (James 3:13-15).
"Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic" (James 3:13-15).
The two motives we are called to fight here are bitter jealousy and selfish ambition. Bitter jealousy is grieving that I don't have what someone else has — a cooler site design, more links, more comments, more visitors. It's when I only want God to be glorified through ME, and don't naturally rejoice when he chooses to use someone else.
Selfish ambition is similar to bitter jealousy, only more blatant. I want to be approved, applauded, admired. I want people to say kind things about me, whether or not I actually deserve it. I fear any kind of correction or feedback because it appears as though I've said or done something wrong. At root, selfish ambition is challenging God for the right to be worshiped. Sadly, it can motivate what we write.
God tells us that these sins are "earthly, unspiritual, and demonic." I have to admit, I typically don't think of my desire to be noticed in such radical, harsh terms. But then, I never see my sin like God does. As one Puritan said, "You see more defilement in my duties than I ever saw in any of my sins."
God's solution is simple, but impossible apart from the work of the Savior in our hearts. Be humble. Be wise. Be "pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere" (James 3:17). That kind of blogging will bear fruit for eternity for the glory of Jesus Christ.
Are you a blogger? You might be. There are more than 71 million blogs out on the Internet. These simple Web sites are often used for news or commentaries on a particular subject. They can also function as personal online diaries. That's where serious trouble can erupt.
The Australian Government's netalert.net.au lists as some of the dangers people (particularly children) can run into if they're not careful when blogging:
In proposing legislation to prosecute pedophiles for meeting children for sex via the Internet, forensic psychologist Rachel O'Connell warned the Scottish Parliament that, "Online journals and cameral phones are a 'pedophiles' dream." That's because children are naively uploading pictures and giving out details of their everyday lives "because it's an online journal."
Blogging Mommies asks the question, "Do you know who is reading your blog?" Site founder Kelly Brown warns that the beautiful baby pictures you post online for your friends and family to see can also be seen by pedophiles and other nefarious characters. She relates that one mother had done just that, posted pictures of her twins, only to find that someone else had posted her photos on another blog. Needless to say, that unnerving experience had the mother wondering what their intentions were. And who else had seen those pictures?
Brown emphatically warns not to give out too much information. By doing so, you may be giving a stranger information they need to do you or a loved one harm. For instance, are you posting your day-to-day schedule? Are you taking the baby for a walk in a stroller every morning at the City Park? Are you revealing that you're gone from the house by revealing that you have to pick the kids of from school every afternoon at 3:00? Maybe you head out to the gym early every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning (perfect information for a burglar). Or maybe you're now working a business from your home — alone.
Brown advises leaving out specific details: names of places, specific days, and specific times. Are you planning a vacation that will take you out of town for a period of time? Don't reveal when you are leaving or how long you'll be gone. Maybe it would be better to talk about the vacation after you get back.
The Old Goat Trail blog also warns against providing too many personal details:
The Old Goat Trail also notes posting personal details can endanger your family:
You can password-protect your blog, making it only accessible to family members and friends. But the safest course to protect yourself and your loved ones is to leave out the personal details and candid photos.
Brown also states that, "Google is your conscience, your big brother and it keeps a record of every single word you write on the Internet. You can't be too careful, but there are methods of blocking Google from archiving your blog." She says insert the following code into the section of your blog:
Also, she says you can block other search engines from saving your pages with this code:
And, if you want to stop Google from indexing your blog altogether, insert this into your <head> section:
If you decide to let your child have a blog, take the following safeguards:

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – Freshman guard Ashley Pledger registered her first career double-double but it was not enough as SUNY Old Westbury used a powerful post game to defeat Saint Elizabeth 85-71 in non-conference basketball action Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph's Hall.
The Screaming Eagles fall to 2-5 overall while the Panthers improve their record to 3-4.
Pledger made 7 of her 15 shots from the floor for a team-high 14 points to go along with a career-best 10 boards and five assists. Backcourtmate Amerisse Rogers added 11 points while junior shooting guard Cheyenne Grant also hit double figures with 10 points.
Old Westbury attacked down load from the onset. Junior forward DeAndra Scott made a jumper in the paint at 15:43 to give the visitors an 11-7 lead. The Panthers powered off a 9-2 run capped by transition jumper in the paint from Antoinette Jolly at 11:45.
Still trailing by 11 points with 3:30 left in the half, CSE fought back to tie the contest at halftime with a 13-2 run of its own. Freshman forward Sharolin Sanders fueled the run with seven points, including a deep 3-pointer.
The score was tied 37-37 at the intermission with Scott leading all scorers with 12 points as Old Westbury hit 46.7 percent of its attempts from the field. Sanders had nine markers for CSE which made 11 steals and forced 20 first-half turnovers.
Old Westbury continued to power the ball down low at the start of the second half and opened up the first 3:30 with a 11-3 run to hold the 48-40 lead.
The Screaming Eagles refused to go away, forcing more Panther turnovers. Grant made one of the team's 17 swipes at 11:02 and O'Dell hit freshman Chantele Clark for a layup to cut the Old Westbury lead to 56-55.
Old Westbury countered with more looks for Scott, who finished with a game-high 26 points, and the Panthers lead grew back to 10. Scott would also register a double-double, leading Old Westbury with 15 rebounds. Fellow post Chloe Mellon added 13 points and nine boards to go along with five blocks.
The Panthers lead grew to as large as 19 at the 2:02 mark, but as many in the North Eastern Athletic Conference know, Saint Elizabeth was not backing away. Six quick points by Rogers got CSE within 11 points, but 5-of-8 free-throw shooting in the last two minutes by Old Westbury kept the home team at bay.
In a physical game from the start, the Panthers held a 55-46 rebounding advantage while CSE won the turnover battle (34-29).
O'Dell had six steals, giving her a total of 21 swipes in the last three games.
CSE fans will get one more shot to cheer on their team this semester: The Screaming Eagles host Yeshiva on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 1 p.m. in St. Joseph's Hall. Saint Elizabeth is back in action during the second semester with three consecutive home games, starting with Morrisville State on Jan. 5 at 1 p.m.

Board set to unveil its decision on superintendent
SALISBURY — The Rowan-Salisbury School System will likely know the name of its new superintendent on Monday night.
Kay Wright Norman, vice chairwoman of the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, said Thursday that the board's decision might not be finalized until Tuesday morning. But on Friday, Chairman Richard Miller said the board hopes to hire and announce the new superintendent at Monday's meeting.
Miller and Norman both said the board has made its decision, but negotiations are still in process.
"Any of our top four could do the job that's needed to be done," Norman said. "People do their homework in terms of your district. All of them were able to present excellent ideas."
Board members had to agree on how to rank the four finalists interviewed Friday, Norman said, and to offer the job to the top choice.
"You don't have an announcement to make until that dotted line is signed," Norman said. "When you're dealing with a sitting superintendent, or an administrator in some other place, they have to deal with their boards as well."
In the past, she said, board members have traveled to the school districts where their final candidates were coming from. This time, they didn't.
"One of the reasons you don't do that is because sometimes communities or boards may not know someone has applied, so (the candidates) don't want that known," Norman said.
The school system's current superintendent, Dr. Judy Grissom, announced in the spring that she plans to retire Sept. 30.
The board has been conducting its search since early April through the N.C. School Boards Association, which advertised the position and collected applications. The process included a public forum, community and staff surveys and a board discussion about what qualities the next superintendent should have.
After that, the Board of Education continued its search in closed sessions, including meetings to conduct first and second interviews.
"It's been a long, arduous process," Norman said. "Maybe another word is exhausting. ... But we worked with the North Carolina School Boards Association, and they save us a lot of work. They really do."

People were pushing people,two women were just about ready to fight over a couple of shirts.It was amazing how people were going crazy. I was amazed how poeple were running upstairs and pushing people. I did not get anything but I have to say it was hillirious watching how people turn from being normal outside into animals inside. I may not have gotten anything but while I was checking stuff out I couldn't help but laugh. I believe this will be my only garage sale I will be going to.People were grabbing used boots and shoes 5+6 prs and hurrying to get to the shoe dept. to try them on not even checking out the sizes or anything. I just had to tell you guys about my experince. Even the people that work there were standing at the top of the stairs cracking up laughing at the way everybody was acting.
