    I’m really, really enjoying these, Michael. Can you make them available as a iTunes Podcast so that we can collect them on our iDevices and watch and share them?

  • Do not use the blog to promote yourself, as your surrogate blog, or as an advertisement. I am sure you are interesting and have some really nice things to say, but you can get your own blog.

  • Keep your comments short. Like when your comments are longer than the blog, that is too long.
  • Read All 6 Rules

Omnipresence
[awm''-nih-prez''-intz] (Latin omni, “all” + Latin praesent, “present”) The belief among theists (Christians, Muslims, Jews) that God, being transcendent above time and space is present everywhere.
