my first post

Several weeks ago, a person at my church (someone that I have known for some time and have thought highly of) vented some frustration in a blog post. When I saw it, knowing exactly over what and why this person was frustrated, I nevertheless was so torn down by it that I left work early that day, I was so upset.

The reason that I share this is that we should always remember that electronic communication (blog, e-mail, etc.) is an excellent filter; that is, elements of communication that a person [perhaps unconsciously] depends on for full and proper understanding, such as body language, mood (joy, sadness, anger,) and so on, are unavailable.

With this in mind, as I begin sharing my love for quotes through this blog, God placed on my heart the following quote from Philipp Melanchthon:

Nothing can be said so clearly as to preclude the possibility of it being misunderstood.

Until next time, God bless.
