Comment Policy
Be nice. My prayer is that, whether through the posts or the comments, this blog will be a place where we “so to it that no one misses the grace of God” (Heb. 15:13).
When posting a comment here, please remember that old adage :: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? Is it helpful?
This is not a place for harsh criticism or negativity. I don’t expect everyone to agree on everything or always arrive at the same conclusions, but when sharing your viewpoint, please express it with respect for others and with a gracious spirit.
I pray that these Scriptures govern our conversations here in this community ::
— “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person” (Colossians 4:6).
— “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29).
— “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted…” (Ephesians 4:32)

Disclosure Policy
In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission {FTC} revised their guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in order to protect the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising that has been paid for by a group or company. I pay to blog here. Purchasing themes, paying for hosts, e-mail services, and other elements of this blog costs a lot of money, I pay to write her. However, since this blog may become a source of income and may occasionally incorporate endorsements or testimonials, we felt it was important to disclose the following to you, our readers:
- The content of our blog may become a source of income for us (or at least bring in enough to offset the cost of blogging here). Therefore the blog may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
- We will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that we have, in fact, used and that we feel will be beneficial to our readers.
- Products provided to us by our advertising partners for our review are sometimes given to us free of charge with no cost to ourselves (and always disclosed in the post). This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
- You can trust us. We will always give our genuine opinion about a product or service whether or not we are partnering with the service provider and/or receiving payment to do so.
- Our number one priority is accuracy and fairness to our readers, and we would never compromise the truth just to make a buck. Ever.
- Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of our blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and strive to deliver interesting, helpful, and encouraging content while generating a small profit to compensate us for our time, research, and ideas. We love and appreciate our readers and make it our goal to be up front and honest with every post we write.
