I received a wonderful and timely note:
Father,
I won’t clog up your busy time with a long email, but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all that you do via the internet. I have been reading your blog for a long time, and although I am not a commenter, like so many others I visit daily and really value what you have to say.
I want to especially thank you for your podcasts. I have four kids, so computer time is scarce, and I had started listening to the archived files in the last few weeks, when my wife surprised me with a new Ipod. So, I spent the weekend downloading all 75 (now 76!) podcazts onto it and am enjoying listening to these- the bonus is that my teenage son, who is discerning a vocation, has downloaded them as well and is listening on his own time.
Anyway, keep up the good, good work. I will continue to pray for you.
That keeps me going a while longer.
Pray for vocations.
