things that amaze me, and thanks!

as i sit here, drinking coffee and icing my hip,

hoping the knot continues to reduce from grapefruit-sized

through [now] lemon-sized to completely gone,

i have had a chance to view data about you,

the folks who visit and read "today's sermonette."

first of all, as always, thanks for reading,

and for those of you who choose to respond,

whether anonymously or otherwise,

i truly am grateful for the parts you play in

an on-going and growing conversation in a variety of topics.

but i am really amazed at your locations!

regular visitors from germany, denmark, belgium, india,

australia, china, saudi arabia, france, great britain,

canada, mexico, and most of the states.

it really blows me away, and i humbly say "thanks."

and i don't do "public humbles" very often.

ask anyone who knows me!
