I’d like to take a moment to thank people who’ve sent me items from my Amazon Wish List and donated to the LBC bandwidth fund. I’ve contacted most of you individually, but if I haven’t, please know that I appreciate your gift very much.
Greater than any material items I receive is your readership. To all of my readers — liberal, conservative, libertarian, Christian, atheist, Buddhist, and everything in between — it’s humbling to know that you consider my words worthy enough to read. Time is a precious commodity, something we never have enough of. Whether you respond to the posts to praise, chastise, educate, disagree or condemn me, I thank you for spending your time here.
Your readership is the greatest gift.

Thanks for giving me a perspective that I never hear in the victim-mentality-inundated city.
I belong to an e-mail Group on the net, and use your posts as a springboard for discussions with my many friends there from around the U.S. Hope you dont mind me copying them, but usually attach your site addy with it.. Our Group has many different types of personalities and lifestyles, and your messages make for some lively banter.. I put a lot of faith and Faith into what you think out loud here.. When I come here to see what you are thinking about, I feel like I have come into a friends livingroom and been invited to sit down on the couch and have a glass of iced tea or cup of coffee.. Sad fact is, that after a disabling injury a few years ago, I dont actually get to do that much anymore.. You are usually home, polite, courteous, and warm.. Traits I like in my friends.. Just want you to know what a pleasure it is to be invited into your “home” this way, and that you are actually glad to see me.. Again, many thanks from an admirer and Redneck from the Great State of Texas.. May God Bless and Keep You.. I will..
La Shawn, I first found you via a link in a post over at ResurrectionSong sometime in the spring of 2004 and I have seen your readership, writing, influence in the blogosphere grow exponentially.
I am so thankful for your writing, your faith, and your sense of humor.
Blessings
Always a gift to read your blog!

Thanks for the ‘heads up’ regarding the National Geographic program on the development of the baby in the womb. I was a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse for many years & cared for infants as young as 24 weeks gestational age. Such precious little lives we were privileged to care for!! I was never able to have bio-children & longed for a child for years prior to adopting. I can’t imagine wanting to ‘get rid’ of a unique gift from God.
You’d have none of us if it weren’t for your ability to bring words from your heart.
You are a treasure young lady.
Love your blog. I read it several times a day. I vote for a LaShawn Barber telling it like it is t-shirt.
La Shawn,
I want to thank you for continuing to bring such refreshing and TRUTHFUL messages to all.
You definitely take the “straight and narrow” gate and not the “wide and broad” gate (ref Matt 7:13,14). It is hard to to be truthful and very easy to compromise, tolerate all and lie which is why we are in the “state of union” we are in now.
May God continue to bless you.
Dan I like the tshirt idea
xxxooo You are a living doll!
Lashawn, you are such a breath of fresh air…..I have no other way to put it. I hope that you continue to educate us “white folks and yellow folks and red folks etc….” on what is all about to be a human, not a color. You are, again, a breat of fresh air. God bless you and all that you do….my prayers are with you.
Respectfully,
parker
