You, Gentle Reader…you are the joyous blessing of the Eve of the Celebration.
You visit the blog, read, comment and refresh my flagging spirit, especially during this past two months when the blog has been so hit and miss with many blank days.
Odd, isn’t it. I don’t see you, don’t even know each of you personally but you have become a support system simply by being there. Those of you who are friends have offered what I consider amazing strength and support. You have given more than I can ever repay and the true blessing is that you would never expect repayment.
Thank you for staying near and checking even when the page was blank. A new normal will come soon enough and my soap boxes will again stack high.
Just so you know that I have not given way on those soap boxes, a quick story about an interview with Lee Judge, the political cartoonist featured in the Kansas City Star. During a recent interview on NPR’s local Central Standard, Judge was asked for an example of a cartoon that was not accepted for publication. He gave the following.
Picture this: Five men standing to one side of the drawing, each labeled as “Pedophile’. On the opposite of the panel a lone woman stood, no label, just a woman standing alone. The caption read:
“Guess which one of these people cannot be a Catholic priest.” Long live the soap boxes.
