I’ve met some of the most interesting, dynamic, and engaging people through this blog, people I not only respect, even though our views may be divergent at times, but people I would love to have as real-life friends, folks who will sit down with you over a cup of coffee, tea, a glass of beer, or a shot of vodka and just be. Thanks for bringing the message home John.
And thanks to you, Deacon Jim, for putting your time, talents, and
efforts into this informative blog. Also, thank you for tolerating and
airing our sometimes dissenting opinions. You could delete or censor
our entries, but you don’t. After all, it is YOUR blog. For your
patience and tolerance, I say STO LAT.
