A Quote from My Four Year Old

Remember that television show Kids say the Darnedest Things? I do. From serious discussions on the meaning of life to where babies come from, the show was a humorous and candid look at how children view the world around them. 

Just last night my four year old told me she was sad. "Oh?" I asked, hesitating. "Yes, I'm sad daddy, she said. "I wish God would come visit, cause I love Him and want to give Him a hug." 

There are many ruminations of childhood wisdom and innocence that ought to be written down, yet we parents have neglected or forgotten to do this more often than not. So I ask, can you remember what your child/children have said, that caused you to smile in wonder, with that dawning realization that kids really do say the darnedest things?

Blogging Etiquette

Confession: I'm new to blogging. I read a few regularly, comment occasionally. And just recently, I decided to take the plunge. I have joined the blogosphere...adding my voice to the conversation.

To kick start this blog and with the help of good friend and veteran blogger, Jim L. I have begun a list that I will call:

Rules to Blog By

1. Be yourself, not your favorite blogger.
2. Post regularly.
3. Keep your posts short. Sweet. And to the point.
4. Engage your reader.
5. Don't make a point or accusation you can't back up.
6. Poof read.
7. Proof read again.
8. Respond to comments.
9. Give appropriate credit.
10. Ask questions.

So in keeping with these rules, I'd like to ask: What are the rules you blog by?
