Stevie darling boy, yes you are so right, but in amongst all the ballyhoo and so on, there are and is a core of real steel to America's spirit. God will continue to bless you and YOU America are so much more than those who would turn it's back on HIM. I read an article the other day that Americans give President Bush a 90% approval rate. That is a huge amount of support. And I for one am proud to have American 'family and I speak for a huge part of the UK. We stand shoulder to shoulder with you America, and will continue to do so.

As for the poem Stevie darling boy, it is utterly utterly wonderful, it describes perfectly how you feel about those who would do their best to rip the heart apart from your wonderful American spirit.

HE is with you, and will continue to be so. A child doesn't stopped being loved by it's parents when it disobeys does it? Then why would Our Farther do so. Just because there are a few, admittedly they are the noisiest ones, but still only a few, who would stop us using HIS name in the suspicion it offends someone. HE is universal, it doesn't matter what we call HIM, we just have to know HE's there.

Write on darling boy, and have a fabulous Christmas.  

    
Love and warm stuff

I don't mean to bang on about it, you know me and my devotion to the good old U.S.of A

To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.
