Is CAPTCHA the Best Option on a Disability Site?
I understand the security CAPTCHA provides but wonder if there might be another security option which would create easier access to this site?

Safer Churches
Thanks Beth, Beth, we have safer churches because you answered God's call to stop abuse and oppression that happens to often. I don't know the details of your departure nor due I care. This is about you. The Lord is faithful as you know, but in these times like now he is there to hold you. Maybe you need some rest. Maybe a change of pace is where God is leading you. Just listen for his voice in your thoughts and take comfort in knowing how God has used you to further His kingdom. God bless you my sister in Christ, Ken

Tips on how to win Hearts
People often ask how due you witness for Christ or help people who are struggling. The most common statement made is listen to what they say and act accorrdingly with love and Spiritual wisdom.What does listening look life? Most personal conversation consists of words and expressions, but there is a hidden language that people miss all the time. You need to read between the lines like what is the their tone, what is their motive, what is not being said and why and many more like body language. When you approach someone to help or witness you need this type observation skills and a heart that...

Where is our empathy?
As a believer with a chronic illness, I crave pastoral care but recieve very little because I don't attend our church very often. I get depressed and angry at my life situation then turn to Jesus for support. Jesus is suffient for what I deserve but I still long for contact with fellow believers. I have a lot of experience in depths of suffering which has shapped my opinions and fostered a understanding of what is really important. I would like to tell people if I could find someone interested enough to listen. People can find empathy in crisis but long term relations are difficult. Pastoral...

Blogging Pastors(BL)
http://www.peripateticpastor.blogspot.com/ is a link to a CRC pastor I came across that I find refreshing because of the back in forth conservation style . I would encourage our gifted pastors to do this and link them here so we can talk and learn about the profound way Jesus affects us all. Thanks

Captcha
Hi fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I hope this doesn't sound narcisstic, but the captcha is a frustrating impedment to those of us with issue's of vision and brain dysfuction. Just writing that last statement requied about seven correction on my part. Maybe we could check out different types of captcha. Do they possibly have a type that is designed for my demographic which is challanged? Thanks for understanding, I don't want to cause fiancial hardship for church as a whole for just a limited number of people. God bless you all

Making a effort to communicate would help too! It can be difficult to initiate a conversation or show if you have a interest in the person. Take this site as a example, no one has engaged me on...
