Dear A Fox,
Why bother to sign your post with a "Love,AFox"? It was not very loving and I must point out your post had many misspellings, grammatical errors, etc. Did you run spell check? I think not. If you are posting it should be to help someone who is seeking or to enlighten or encourage others.

Good grief, Christians! "Whatsoever ye do, do it w/all your might,... as to the Lord." "Love the Lord w/all your MIND & heart & strength." “Study to show thyself approved…” We should be the ones doing things more beautifully, w/greater care & consid for how they effect others- if they are for others. Consider your neighbours: all those who are trying to read what you write here. If you’re not writing for others, why write here? - It's so easy to dash off our thoughts quickly & hit return, I know; but really, truly, some of this is illegible. Some of it is gibberish! You need to care that some parts of the comments section of this Christian site that provides scholarly tools for serious Bible study look more like monkey scratch than the comments on Yahoo or Elite or MSNBC do. If unbelievers drop by to see what's up on this site for studying the word of GOD--- omgosh. - For some of these entries 1 can make out a bit of what you're trying to communicate, but it takes so much effort. It ‘s like slogging barefoot in the dark through a brake of thorn trees & low-lying poison ivy over snaggle-toothed broken cobblestones heaved up by an earthquake: no joy. I'm probably not the only 1 who has to give up trying to read what you're trying to say after a few itchy, scratchy, stumbling, bumbling, squinting, peering, parsing, puffing, expostulating, exasperating, painful moments. - Try taking a few moments, once you’ve formulated your thoughts, to make sure it’s readable for other people. Suggestions: 1. Read your own text. 2. Again. 3. Get some editing help from a friend who loves the language. 4. Read it again. 5. Use a spell-checker - then read your text carefully after you spell-check it. It doesn't take that long. If you don’t feel like reading it, who else will? 6. Go wild & buy a book on grammar, w/exercises in the back, & do a few per day. Heaven yes! No, it’s not boring. English is an amazing language. It's also an endangered language. We don’t have to be among those who mutilate it unto extinction because we're as lazy & wilfully ignorant as the rest of the world. - Ask yourself this: How would you like God to have delivered His wonderful Word to us, all 66 books in their various languages, each in as mangled a form as some of these poor li’l comments? - Love, AFox
