Fish Tales

Filed under: 'Nuff Said — responsivereiding @ 5:44 pm

Today’s entry begins the new category - “‘Nuff Said”. Stuff that doesn’t require a lot of explanation, but still needs addressed.

And what better way to introduce the new category than with this gal: schori.jpg

1 Tim. 1:3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.
