Lately, I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping the wrong things out of my mind. I'm not denying for one instant that a large part of this is due to my own sin nature. But, having said that, a lot of the people around me aren't exactly helping the situation, either, to put it very, very mildly. I can't help but be hesitant to accuse someone of not accepting any responsibility. I understand more and more that when a person is frustrated, often ...

I've read about something called the Arab Federation Of Iraq And Jordan. From what I've read, it sounds like it only existed ...
As always, I'm attempting to upgrade my knowledge on linguistics. I'm particularly attempting to upgrade my knowledge of Pidgins. This is rather frustrating. From what I can tell, English has a position different than many other languages. I think it's pretty safe to say that English is widely spoken by people of all races, ethnicities, cultures, tribes, etc.. I'm still having trouble learning Spanish. I think it's pretty safe to say that Spanish as spoken ...
