Filters and Quote Credit: Pesky Blessings

Here I am wanting to write all sorts of short observations and reflections as I read Richard Foster’s “Celebration of Discipline”. BUT I CAN’T! Well, at least not with a clear conscience. I want to quote single sentences and base a blog entry on each thought because I find the material very inspiring.

I don’t know much about the legal requirements for quoting published material, and I would like to follow all the pesky copyright laws. Because I have a very strict internet filter on my computer (self-imposed), I can’t even look up simple things like quoting guidelines (pesky). At the same time, I’m very thankful to have a computer at all and to use it in a way that glorifies God my Savior and strengthens me in Him. Imposed limitations can be freedom and light emitting, and I am blessed (far from annoyed). May I never lose this perspective.

Ha… how ironic. Maybe I’ll have to go to the library to get a book on quoting guidelines just so I can write a proper blog entry or 300,000. Here’s to peskiness (the new word of the hour).

zzzz. half asleep.
