Manners


In the Parlor, we take to heart St. Paul's words to the Ephesians as we:  
      Make every effort to preserve the unity which has the Spirit as its binding force (4:3)
      Never let evil talk pass our lips (4:29)
      Do nothing that will sadden the Holy Spirit (4:30)
      Get rid of bitterness, passion, anger, harsh words, slander and malice (4:31)
      Are kind, compassionate, and mutually forgiving (4:32)
      Profess the truth in love (4:15)
  
We also:
      Keep our elbows off the table.
      Hold our napkins over our mouths if we engage in laughter.
      Engage in laughter.
   
We bring to share:
      The fruits of the Holy Spirit:  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faith and
      chastity (Galatians 5:22-2). 

We remember:
      That Jesus Christ is Lord of this space on the Internet.
      That any comments critical of our Lord or Christianity will be removed.
      That this can be a place of encouragement, friendship, holiness.. and fun!
