To plagiarse the song I learned in Sunday School all those decades ago.

Today's Baptist news esweep includes this link to a post on the ethical responsiblities of Baptist bloggers.  The author is correct in noting caution in our wording and the need for a repsonsible attitude but I was left feeling that this was a bit eggs, grandmother and suck arranged into a well known phrase or saying.

Most of the time most Baptist/Christian bloggers - or at least those who I read - are very gracious in what is posted.  Sure we use popular language and the odd expletive might creep in.  Sometimes we get annoyed and let others know it.  And even sometimes we get it wrong.  Well, we are, afterall, human.

I did wonder what might happen if the archangel Gabriel started posting chunks of the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) cos there are parts which are pretty not nice, not polite and not calm.

Be careful little bloggers what you blog - not because of the Father up above, cos the song says he's looking down in love - but because you just might upset other people with your tone and vocabulary.  Of course we should be careful and responsible, and the article is clearly not against blogging per se, just perhaps hints at something I'd find a bit too holy to be helpful.

Altogether now...

So watch your ears, your eyes, your hands, your feet, your blog...
