Grief, and this tough old world may sometimes push a person into a thought to end it all. It is at those times that we might choose to reach out, share experiences and our heart.

In February, 1812, a large flatboat carrying William Owen Bruce, his wife, three sons, a new daughter-in-law, and several servants touched land on the western side of the Kentucky River at a break in the Palisades. It was cold, and the journey had been long, having begun i …
It's been so unseasonably warm, lately, that I thought I'd better get some water on the lawns. It was nearly 80 degrees in my little mountain town and was in the high 80's "down below." So, I thought I'd better start up the sprinklers, and even filled up and turned on the fount …
Too many times, people flock to online chat rooms, dating services, and social sites in the hopes of finding a romantic love. I do not believe in it. There are too many unknown factors involved.   …

Hi Enoch
Glad to have met a new friend and thank you for letting me use you representation of G-d.— PonGoad
Greetings to you my spiritual friend Enoch. You should only know how many friends that you have who feel that you deserve special recognition here on Newsvine, myself included in that number. Your avatar of Moses on the mount was so indicative of you and the spirituality that you never fail to implant with your comments. However, the new avatar really isn't you. I think that there are many who have great admiration and respect for who feel you should continue with Moses rather than the new one.
Although we disagree on certain foundational premises I cannot deny that you embody the truly good qualities or what I call a Religious Liberal. Your comments always make me think and my occasional failure to respond is only due to my high respect for you and what I believe to be your positive intent.
Forgive those few times I don't respond as I have no wish to cross swords with a truly good man.Truly and Sincerely,
Socrates 01
I just noticed your new avatar. Do you realize your nomination for RAV is now invalid because it shows your old avatar and now we must vote again. lol

Dear friend Enoch, you are what is best on the Vine, an enlightenment and an inspiration to all - You are like a rare bird with a beautiful plumage whose feathers are just too bright - You honour us, and Him with your presence. Proud to call you a friend. :)
Hi Enoch,
how can I be of help to you, friend?
Contact me please.
Josh
Your prayers work wonders, :)
Making my rounds to all my listed friends here on Newsvine to wish you all happiness this coming new year and many more to come!
Penn 2012 and beyond!
Special Friend :)
My dearest fiend, Enoch: have missed your uplifting spirit today. Always look for any comment you add, gives me great joy!! Your friend, peace and blessings always, Gloria
God is driving the bus. I am a passenger. Thank you, Enoch, for the friend request, but more for planning the itinerary. It is nice to take a 'scenic road' once in awhile, while still heading towards the goal. Your friend, Gloria
Enoch...thank you so much for the FR. You are one of the few inspirations that I have found on NV. It seems you bring out the best in us even when we don't think it's there.
Enoch, my wise and cherished friend. It is always a blessing to share thoughts and ideas with you. G-d bless Enoch and his family.

Enoch, that you for the wonderful post to me. It is with great humility that I accept it, and would say that you, my friend, are my inspiration.
