Print this out, then, when you feel ready, when you feel prepared to be challenged, you go ahead and read it. And you like it. And you show it to others. And, behold! they like it, too. And they tell two friend and they tell two friends, and so on and so on. Today the web! Tomorrow the world! |

Noo Year!
We at swordandspirit.com wish you the BEST 2003 imaginabubble, imagibinuble, imagi... that you can possibly think of! Really!

Noo Noozletter!
You're looking at it - we hope! If we pulled this off you'll know two things: 1) We aren't entirely inept at html and all that (but we're close), 2) Rich Deem at Godandscience.org is the true Web Master. All hail, King Richard! |

Noo Stuff This Year!
This year we plan (key word: plan) on:
1) actually writing more of our own humble, edgy, get-people-all-riled-up apologetics stuff rather than stealing it all from more sophisticated and knowledgeable sites,
2) actually offering a new cool swordandspirit shirt,
3) going to Spirit West Coast to continue our plan of world domination,
4) bringing in more than $23.76 in donations,
5) getting you people more involved,
6) watching the Angels do it again!!! |

Noo Letters!
Oh joy. Most of the letters we got this month pointed out mistakes we made!
Just looked and could not find the time line you mentioned in this review of the site new stuff. Is it still available?
[our buddies at RTB redid their site and have different addresses for everything. We are full of great joy, and are working to correct it. Sorry.]
We love your post card tracts! Great designs. Great ideas. Very inspiring for taking simple steps in sharing Good News. We stole copies of all of 'em. 8-D
Hey guys great site, but I wanted to tell you that the "Pokemon ball" converted to Christian jewelry on page 4 of your Strange Page pics is actually a fishing bobber (a.k.a. float). Not sure what significance it has, but there you go... Maybe something to do with "I will make you fishers of men..."
God Bless you and your website! I would like to use some of your slides for a PowerPoint presentation at our church. What do I owe you? They're beautiful and if I made my own presentation, it wouldn't be as nice as yours and would cover the same material. I'd be happy to make a donation and of course to give you credit.
I was amused to see that you have a list of "Buddhist carols" on your website. But one of them is entitled, "The Krishna Song." Perhaps you are unaware that Krishna is a HINDU deity, and has nothing to do with Buddhism? Nice try, guys. Better luck next time. :)
How about "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Vesak",
"Temple Bells" (instead of "Silver Bells"), "Good King Asoka",
"Over the River and Through the Woods (to the Monastery We Go)",
or "Deck the Meditation Hall"? Hmmm...maybe not.
Merry Christmas,
