friends are vloging

I have some friends from the deep south part of Texas who are preping for a trip to a CIY conference all the way up in Michigan. Yep that's right...we Texans do everything big! No gas price is going to scare this crew away from having a rocked out road trip. Love them big time.
So as they travel they are going to be posting at this blog about the trip and events of the day so that those back home can be specific in their prayer request and praise. Brilliant idea.
Here is a video they posted today of Josh Taylor giving helpful tips on packing for the long trip.

Ham on you ham eaters!

mental note...

The difference between sarcasm and mockery is very subtle. 

 

Be extremely careful when using sarcasm.

By definition sarcasm intends harm…it’s hard to be a man of peace when your words cut.  Better to pick up a gun than kill a man with words.

Be mindful of the audience, as sarcasm depends more on the interpretation than the presentation (both require precision though).

The laugh gained through sarcasm, at the expense of the damaged done, is typically not worth it.

And it’s probably best to just avoid mockery all together.

 

“Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.”

     - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

 

Sarcasm:

     1: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain

     2a: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against and individual

     2b: the use of language of sarcasm (this is no time to indulge in sarcasm)
