I appreciate the distinction that Valor is a "national" publisher. In any case, I am excited that there are independent publishers out there that are providing outlets for Mormon authors to get their work out. I am excited about the scope and vision of your project.<br /><br />On another subject, I applaud your strong political convictions and your desire to protect the country and see it flourish. I appreciate your support of Mike Lee, who seems like a fine candidate. I hope that all of us, however, can have charity towards all men and women. While (as a moderate to conservative Democrat) I have all kinds of issues with all kinds of political figures, I try to give each the benefit of a doubt they deserve as children of our Heavenly Father. There are lots of constructive ways of calling a politician or a political movement out on what you see as bad policies. Calling people "rabid dogs" and the like, however, does little but evoke the worst passions in us. Passion does not have to equal cruelty. Let's all be better than that.Andrew H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01447530562656745764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738015707983587606.post-71181539089885456972010-01-31T21:53:52.864-07:002010-01-31T21:53:52.864-07:00Thanks for correcting the spelling of my name, Can...Thanks for correcting the spelling of my name, Candace!
