Howdy, thank-you. You have no idea just how timely in my life your words are. I have been finding my way back to Heavenly Father after my own time immersed in "identity politics," seeking for the truth of the statement that "life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself." I have been considering removing the suggestive images from my site & going through and editing, if not downright removing, the entries containing offensive and objectionable material.
You may notice that I will delete your comment from my site, but that is simply so that people know that it is of my own choice and volition that I have cleaned up my act, not simply as a bow to an internet bully. The truth of the situation is stronger than that.
I did want you to know that your words did reach me at an important time, even if they are no longer there for everyone to see.. Thank-you.

Hello I just wanted to thank you for your thoughts in an e-mail that I received from your group mailing. it Truly helped me in a time of pain and feeling deserted. I hope to hear back from you so that I know that you got this e-mail. in the thought I am talking about, you talked about the stars and light pollution and then talked about how we must go through trials to actually see the light..... I am going through alot right now and needed to hear what you wrote, I was at the brink of suicide, You saved my life...thank you ..........

Dear Sir or Ms: As to your questions, I live in ______, Oregon, USA. I don't forward your Thought and Humor as I copy them and place them in a 3-ring notebook. Then I take this notebook to my camping, gold panning, 8-mile roadside clean-up campaigns followed by a potluck, 3 days, 2 nights, geology tours, fishing, boating, etc., along with other stories and jokes placed in that notebook. Everyone seems to enjoy reading my notebook. So thank you very much for your stories, jokes, etc. and for future ones. Why don't you publish a book full of your stories and Jokes? Shouldn't I get a no-prize book if and when you do this? Ha, Ha! Sincerely, Ellen

Howdy, your newsletter in probably the best thing I've ever gotten by email... never quit, the world would be a lesser place without the few who insist on actually using the wonderful cognitive processes with which the Creator has blessed us. Your mini-novel was wonderful, and yes we are responsible for ensuring that as many as possible have a ticket as soon as possible. GOD Bless you

Dear Howdy,
Where in the world (besides NC) did this come from??? Who in the world sent it to me? Where in the world have you been hiding? Over a million readers??? I don't know how I missed you or you missed me for so long???

Dear Howdy,
Please forgive me but I cannot think of any way for you to improve on your newsletters. They are so creative, fun and thought provoking, I envy you your dedication and expertise. I guess my biggest problem is I don't want to lose any of them. Consequently my e-mail filled up so I printed them. I am running out of filing cabinets to keep them in. I am also saving them on floppies, only about 2 will fit on each disk. I started that in the spring. So you can imagine how many disks I have. I have forwarded them to friends and family. So, to make a long story short, too late, just keep 'em coming and let me know if there is an archive I can access so I won't have to worry about keeping them all myself.

I think you are doing a wonderful job! I am finishing up my 4th year here at George Mason University in Fairfax VA, and have been reading Howdy for about a year now. I have no idea how i got on the list but i love it! I will soon be moving to Australia (to study abroad) for 6 months so i'll be sure to spread it around down there. Keep up the good work! Josh

Suggestions for improving?! NO WAY! I love T&H and I love forwarding it to people! On weeks when I'm not too busy, I really enjoy reading as much of it as possible. And those times when I'm bogged down in work, the lighter side of T&H is a perfect pick-me-up. You're doing a great work for God's Commission, Howdy. Thank you!
