Comments & Feedback
Well, what is really awful is that before I retired, I would always sign my letters with my name and some snappy line or funny quip that went with the memo. Now, here on the vine, I do not wish to appear the copy cat. Yours Truly, Grump, throwing missiles.
Invite humbly accepted, your words inspire and encourage. Blessings to you!
Thanks for the invite, Enoch! Happily accepted!
Honored to be your Friend.
Hello enoch and friends request gladly accepted!

The "Chaplain's Corner" is a superb idea. I am sure that it will be well received.

Glad to be your friend, Enoch. Thanks for the FR. I think our paths have crossed somewhere, but I am not sure where...

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
— Al-316
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.
