Dear Friends of Another Voice,
My very best wishes for Christmas 2011 and the New Year 2012………
It will be quite a significant new year! I want to thank you as well for your comments and interest in Another Voice. Occasionally this past year I seriously thought about pulling the plug on my blog….Then someone sent a note…and I continued.
I am also a very strong supporter of ARCC: the Association for the Rights of Catholics in the Church…and hope in the coming year to be more supportive of their efforts.
There are now close to 500 people regularly checking Another Voice…..Modest. Still not bad. I have never been a numbers guy.
Friendship……
We all absolutely need our friends. They keep us going. This past year I said goodbye to some old friends who have passed on to the next life……I believe they are with me. Yet…I miss the twinkle in their eyes and the friendly chuckle and the occasional admonition.
Albert Schweitzer’s observations ring ever true: “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
John Greenleaf is going on holiday for a few days and will return in early January.
And here is a bit of pious music for your own holidays:
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you as well!!
They say that if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.
So if anything is ever going to change in this world, we need to do something different.
I believe Einstein said something like, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results.
May you continue to find your voice and speak loud and clear. It’s the only way to change the selective hearing of Rome!
Blessings~
Blessings on you! John
