Hope you enjoy your well deserved, slower pace of writing(Hopefully along with some good R & R's). I don't know about how others feel, but I didn't at all mind the multiple pieces per day in my inbox. It was always a good reason to a take a work break and read what you and David have to say on the issues of the day. The pace of writing from you two was impressive to say to the least, especially given that how well written the pieces were and are. Whatever pace you guys decide on posting pieces from here on, I'll keep on reading when they come.

Interesting comments Steve. I've gotten the impression i am one of those followers you may not "enjoy" which is really okay. The good news is i don't respond to make friends. I have found writing to be cathartic. It helps me think, makes me better able to understand who, what and where i am.

Do yourself a favor, save this column and drag it out, every 10 years or so. Watch the aging process as you come to understand how you are evolving. When i was younger, i wanted to do it all. I needed to see how much i could get done. I was always checking the mirror on my own reflection. Now days, i simply don't care.

Getting old has it's rewards. For some strange reason the Catholic military high school i attended has started sending out death notices of class mates. Yikes, 3 in the last two weeks. I also find my self telling my wife as the world crumbles around us, "thank God we are old."

Anyway, nice to see you looking inward. It is the best way to grow. I've told you before, your articles drive me crazy as you careen down the highway of life. Some folks love predictability, some not so much. You strike me as the latter.

Anyway, good to see, and read, your thoughts. Slowing down is perhaps the greatest joy i have found in helping find my sanity. I suspect you will find much the same as quality is almost always better than quantity.

It's really sad the site didn't take off more but I just don't think too many online political readers are interested in this type of content. As much crap as I give you you are still leagues above what you find on any other right wing site and honestly I haven't read left wing sites in awhile. While I strongly agree politically with the left the really online cancel everything the left seems to focus on these days is so annoying.

I hope you find a pace that agrees with you.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate The Racket news. I only read a few sites and I look for sites for which the writers are solid Christians. I can trust that the material you publish is factual and seen through the lens of God’s word. Thank you again.God bless!
