Tired of clicking on that "Read more" link just so you can read the rest of an article or news report?!  I know exactly how you feel!  That's why we instructed our IT guy, Frank Furter, to design our Hermann Hearsay website so you don't have to do all that time-consuming, wasteful "mouse clicking"! 

Why waste your valuable time "clicking" to access a new page in order to read the entire article or news report?  That wastes your time uneccessarily!  It also places more wear and tear on your poor little computer mouse!  And if you happen to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, all that "clicking" can be downright painful!

Our website by comparison is very simple.  Log on to:  http://www.hermannhearsay.blogspot.com/.  (Most of our FREE subscribers have our website saved in their "Favorites" list.)  Linking to our website takes you directly to our current articles and news reports.  No "clicking" required to read the entirety of each and every posted article or news report.  There are ten (10) postings on each page of our website which generally represents one or two days worth of reporting and editorial comment.  Our competitor also has ten (10) postings on each page of his website.  The difference is that you can read all ten (10) of our postings without a lot of painful or time-consuming "mouse clicking" while our competitor requires you to click on "Read more" to read each of his postings and then click on "Back" or "Home" in order to get back to the "Main Page".  So, in order to read ten (10) of their postings, you will have to make twenty (20) additional "mouse clicks" that you don't have to make on Hermann Hearsay!

But folks, that's not all!  If you want to make a comment on our competitor's website, you will first have to click on "Login" or "Register".  Then you have to jump through further hoops to verify your identity (more key strokes and mouse clicks).  And finally, if you've done everything just right, you are given the privilege of making a comment.  That comment will be moderated by the publisher and if he doesn't happen to like your point of view, your comment will not be published.  At Hermann Hearsay, you can just click on the "COMMENTS" button at the end of each posting and freely express your point of view.  No FBI background checks, no censorship, no condemnation for expressing a point of view in opposition to that of the author of the posting.

So, to those of you who are wasting all of your valuable time clicking here and clicking there and wearing out your computer mouses, we invite you to become a FREE subscriber here at Hermann Hearsay.  Why pay $19.95 per year just so you can be treated with disrespect?  We are FREE and won't treat you with disrespect!  Why pay $19.95 per year so you can prematurely wear out your computer mouse?  We are FREE and won't cause premature wear and tear on your computer mouse!  Why pay $19.95 per year so you can waste your valuable and limited time making all those additional and unnecessary mouse clicks?  We are FREE, and we won't waste your time!

It's Oktoberfest here in Hermann and it's also "Willie Nelson Sunday".  The following YouTube clip is from the 1980 movie, "Honeysuckle Rose".  Buck Bonham (played by Willie Nelson) and Viv Bonham (played by Dyan Cannon) sing "Uncloudy Day" at a summer concert in Texas honoring Garland Ramsey (played by Slim Pickens).  The final scene from one of my all-time favorite movies!

Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.  ~ 1 Corinthians 9:19

Paul’s imagery is striking. Though he can claim citizenship, Paul took a lower position in order to win more to Jesus Christ. How do we view ourselves? Do we demand rights? In a day of Christian consumerism where we establish ourselves as connoisseurs of Sunday services, sermons, and worship music, are we willing to give up the right of our preference in order to serve others?
