The kids who didn’t go back to the books last week (or earlier) will be heading back tomorrow and the corn is vanishing from the fields as the harvest comes upon us. And we’re celebrating by getting back into the swing of things again, too with the cream of the crop submitted to us over the summer.
Our next edition is scheduled for October 1st, 2007. The deadline is 11:59 pm on September 29th. And my birthday is September 7th 😉
Questions should be blog posts–either on professional blogging platforms or myspace and cousins–where the author is seeking advice from their readers. Rhetorical questions answered in the course of the post belong in the answers category. Answers should deal with advice column type subjects, scripture; articles on Christian living and cultivating a biblical world view also welcome.
All answers must be written from a conservative, traditional (ie “fundamentalist”) view of the world and reading of the scriptures–whether Catholic, Armenian, or Calvinist, but I’d prefer the affiliation clearly laid out if not evangelical. Spam, business or product promotions, liberal/PC theology, new age affiliates (including “Christian” new age and those affiliated with new age books on the power of positive thinking ) are not permitted. You’re welcome to your opinions, but this is not the forum for them. There are plenty of other places for the marketplace confusion of ideas. Here we strive to have unity in doctrine between the posts as much as humanly possible.
And, while you’d think this would be obvious, your blog post should be visible to the public and written entirely in English.
