This year will mark my 25th year as a syndicated weekly columnist, and The Vicksburg Post was one of my first newspapers, for which I am grateful. Yet I am also grateful for the feedback and support from the Vicksburg readers, who have invited me for speaking appearances, bought copies of my books, bought copies of my CD for the Kairos Prison Ministry, and regularly call or write or e-mail to just say you’ve enjoyed my stuff.

Without that type feedback from good folks like y’all, a writer would choke on his words. In all those years, I have never had a single critical word from a Vicksburg reader, plus many of you have given to or volunteered for the Kairos International Prison Ministry that is so near and dear to my heart (and is the subject of much of my new books, coming out in a month or so).

Thank you for your faithful readership and your encouragement through these two dozen years!
