That sounds odd, I know, but I believe that to be true. We are but strangers here. We tread a ground that is not our own. I honor a flag that is not mine, and it is right that I do so. But the government of Christ is not a democracy. That’s why it is called a kingdom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is no less than a mirror before me. I see myself with all the years removed, all the spoils of time. But does that make him a hero, that he is but an altered version of myself, or that my pride is laid so evident upon him? No, it doesn’t. I would be guilty of a conspicuous vanity. But, if a hero is a person who reflects what is fine in you, who may just champion your lost hopes, he is all that. If a hero is someone who believes the best of you and for you, even when you do not, if a hero is one who is not afraid to call up the best that is within you, he is all of that as well. But there is more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take the time to study the craft, to study the architecture and weight of a line. Actually read what you are about to post before posting it. Say it out loud. Get your ear involved. Get in the habit of rewriting, that is, going over a piece of text until it shines, until all the lumps are gone. Read great writers. There are many of them still out there, both Christian and non-Christian. There are bad writers out there as well, and their numbers are increasing. But they have something to teach us too, even if it is simply what not to do.]]></description>
