    Posted on Monday, February 26th, 2018 | Tagged: Carol McClain, entitlements, King David, Nepal, school, What we obtain to cheap we esteem too lightly, Writing Redemption

    By Carol McClain: @   carol   _mcclain Thomas Paine’s writings have been echoing through my flu-addled brain. Thinking of our American world of entitlement, the quote, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly,” has especially resonated.

    By Carol McClain: @  carol _mcclain No. Not another money-evaporating day. Anniversaries–nowadays monthly as well as yearly–birthdays and Mother’s/Father’s Days and whatever else is invented.

    By Carol McClain: @ carol     _mcclain Good friends and a nephew refused to watch the Super Bowl because NBC or Super Bowl LII denied an ad from veterans asking people to respect the flag.

    By Carol McClain @carol     _mcclain When do we admit genetics makes us do those things we ought not to do? In preparation for my next book I’ve been reading about psychopaths .

    By Carol McClain:      @carol   _mcclain No one needs a news alert, here it is, anyway. The East Coast has been gripped by record shattering cold. It’s uncomfortable,  inconvenient, expensive and deadly. Despite the four negatives, it can be appreciated. Wait, you say. Appreciated? Yep, but remember, I didn’t say loved.

    • Cultural Identity Applies to Christians Too

      by Carol McClain You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others,that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. —Matt. 5: 14-16 Critics complain Christians deny cultural identities when those communities differ from a Christian perspective.
