'Passing on a "Thank You" from Oklahoma'

A loyal reader of this blog and someone who lives in Oklahoma wrote and sent me what follows this morning.  She gave me permission to post it and I'm glad:

Hi Rick,

I am a regular reader of your blog, which I really enjoy.  I think you do a great job with it!  I live in the great state of Oklahoma and so first, I wanted to say thank you for the posts you did after our recent tornados.  In some ways, it is sure becoming a small world, isn't it?  

In addition, I saw this article yesterday on one of the local Oklahoma City news channels.  Since you not only made information available to your readers about different ways they could help, but also more importantly, you prayed and asked for others to pray for the people of our state, I wanted to share this with you.  The article contains a thank you from Mikki Davis, who is the mother of one of the children who died in the Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, and it's a really nice message.

Thanks again and God Bless You!

I'm honored by Kathy's note and grateful for her loyalty.  I hope I can do that which keeps her coming back.

I also hope that you'll take the time to watch the video at Kathy's link and the story about little Kyle Davis (pictured).  Simply powerful.

I hope as well that some of you will take a moment to read the posts Kathy references (here and here) and do what you can, what God might place on your hearts, to help.  The wife and I sent a check to Catholic Charities there shortly after the first post.

Thank you Kathy... and a big thanks to all who have helped, are helping or will help.

Carry on.
