Much Ado About Everything?

Something has been bothering me of late...

Even though I know that we are living in the last days, and that this world is decaying, it grieves me that Christians are not more positive, because GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!

I have not been able to find many people in my snippet of Christendom who think like I do, so when I came across Dr. John Mark Reynolds' Article Great News Today! Or Despite Us, the Church is Winning! Or Ten Reasons to Be Happy, I was pleasantly surprised.

I don't agree with everything he says, but it was refreshing to find someone with a positive mindset about what the Lord is doing in what Bogart, playing Rick on Casablanca, called, "this crazy, mixed up world".  Let me know if you agree, or disagree. As Dennis Prager says, "it doesn't matter if we disagree, what matters is that we're clear about where we disagree. Clarity is better than agreement."

What Happened To Jimmy?

To all who read and enjoy this blog:

First I want to thank you for taking the time to read my musings, please know that I appreciate your comments. Also, I have not disappeared; I will continue to post to this blog, I've just been taking some time to get some education on how to become the best blogger I can be for His glory and soon I will begin posting anew and (God willing) a lot more frequently. So what you will soon see on Life on a Leash (heretofore known as LOAL for short) will be the following...

My usual witty (trying to be), verbose, and (hopefully) inspiring bi-weekly/monthly column.

Additionally....

Since I desire this blog to be a ministry tool as well as entertaining I will also be including links to articles that I find interesting, informative and/or inspiring.

And...

Since I am a computer geek (took me a long time to come to terms with this but now I realize that it's part of God's beautiful design for my life! B-P ) I will be including links to helpful computer links or articles that I've been finding of late.

Furthermore...

Since I desire to make this easier fer ya to receive, I am now syndicating my blog via RSS feed, you can subscribe by pointing your RSS reader to this URL address...

So though you might have been in the desert that has been the Life on a Leash blog for the past month or so, rest assured that a new and improved LOAL is coming your way! May it be a blessing. -Jimmy

P.S. Many thanks to Nick G. for training me in some of the ways of the (blogosphere) force.

Welcome!

A fond greeting to any and all who have happened upon this humble attempt to express the greatness of God!
