Many thanks to all of you, dear readers who wrote, called, made donations, and emailed with suggestions for the newspaper. It was heartwarming to see how much the newspaper means to so many of you. One of the letters from Stephen Jackson, M.D., of Monte Sereno, Calif., can be read on page NAT 9.

In case anyone else would like to contact us or make a donation, we have moved. Our new address is: 1111 East 54th St., Suite 119, Indianapolis, IN 46220 46220.We also have a place on our Web site on the Subscribe page for donations: www.jewishpostopinion.com/subscribe .html. Our telephone and fax numbers are the same, but our new email address is: jewishpostopinion@gmail.com. We welcome your comments and suggestions as well.

One of the phone calls came from a local woman who would like to help us celebrate our 80th anniversary by inviting our writers who mostly live outside of Indiana to come to Indianapolis to meet with our readers. This will take place the weekend of Aug. 13-15, 2010.

Of course anyone who is interested will be invited to come to Indianapolis to meet the writers who will be teaching or reading from their work. Once I know which writers are able to attend and as more details are finalized, I will be including them here, but for now this is a save-the-date message.

One of the suggestions from you, dear readers was to publish less frequently. At least for the summer months of June, July and August, and while we are preparing for the anniversary celebration with the writers, we will be publishing once per month instead of biweekly. In September we will most likely resume our biweekly publishing or possibly go to every three weeks instead.

The following cute letters to God written by children have been shared with many on the Internet and were sent to me by Marvin Migdol of Dallas. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did.

Dear God:

I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church. Is that okay? ~Neil

I think the stapler is one of your greatest invention. ~Ruth M.

If you watch in Church on Sunday, I will show you my new shoes. ~Mickey D.

If we come back as something, please don't let me be Jennifer Horton because I hate her. ~Denise

I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the bible. ~Love, Chris

In bible times, did they really talk that fancy? ~Jennifer
