Welcome to Common Grounds Online. Readers of Common Grounds have suggested a website to continue the explorations they began in the book. In keeping with the interactions of Professor MacGregor, Brad, Lauren and Jarrod, the theme of this site is ‘learning and living the Christian story.’

That was the whole reason for posting the picture...not to valorize the priorities but to smile at the spelling mistakes.
Each time I post something deadpan a reader writes a comment to "connect the dots" for everyone else, as though the rest of us don't already get it.

You can have an evangelical side hug. :)
No offense taken and you weren't a jerk. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. I don't know. It's just odd that each time I post something....
