“Thank You”

The Anchoress

liked this article on how some women and children, armed only with “thanks yous” for their priests, have beaten back protesters.

Click through to read it. I like it too, for several reasons. First (although I haven’t been Catholic for a long, long time) I still have a great deal of respect and admiration for priests. Second, I’m a big believer in using more free speech to combat free speech with which we don’t agree. Finally, I’m a big fan of the simple “thank you.” It’s one of the most powerful phrases around, and we could use it a lot more than we do. Try to smile and say it ten times a day, and I think you’ll be very pleasantly surprised at the results. It’s easy, it’s free, and it makes people (including you) happy. Trust me. Try it.
