Guidelines For Living

A disclaimer is the fine print you see in a contract, the documentation which protects a manufacturer from law suits, and basically lets the contracting party off the hook when something goes wrong.  So here’s the disclaimer today.  No, I haven’t had my wife walk out on me, or bury my children on foreign soil.  I haven’t been in an airplane that crashed or was hijacked by terrorists, and no, they haven’t pulled me from a wrecked car more dead than alive.  Frankly, God has been far better to me than I deserve—a thousand times so; yet I have a strong opinion based on working with people.  I’ve seen a trend so gradual and so pervasive in recent years that it seems to leave me standing in a small minority of people who tenaciously cling to some thoughts that are seldom voiced.
