I am humbled and grateful....

Stacy McCain, a long time friend, proved once again what a stellar friend he is.  Smitty too.  They read my blog tale of financial woe and published an appeal for folks to send me money, and the response has been amazing.  Other bloggers also created links asking their readers to help.  What great people bloggers are, and those who follow them.

My wife, like me, is not used to getting paid and giving nothing of value in return, so she asked me to make a list to pay everyone back!  I will probably just "pay it forward," being extra generous in the future to conservative bloggers trying to make it.  In any case, I suspect wifey won't be so quick in the future to tell me that blogging is a waste of time!

I have offered whatever services I can to those who have donated.  Only two have taken me up on it.  One was a blogger who had a glitch in her blog format, and I helped her solve it rather quickly.  Another has asked for assistance on a graphics project, and I readily agreed to do it for her.

Fellow conservatives, I owe you big time.  If I can do anything for you, please do let me know.

Thank You to All Who Donate!

Thanks to all who have donated to Saber Point since yesterday.  The donations have ranged between $5 and $150, and I am indeed grateful.

It is in times like these that you know who your friends are.  The conservative blogosphere is pretty special and have proved it to me personally.  I am humbled and gratified by your generosity.  Many thanks to Smitty and the Other McCain, to Old Rebel and others.

I know that some of the donors are themselves struggling with these hard times, yet they donated what they could.  As I told one donor, your contribution does good to my soul even more than it does to my bank account.

In good times I have donated to blogs I read, too, and I will do so again.  Sometime after November, I suspect.

Meanwhile, I will gladly provide graphic art or blog help to any donor who desires it.  Send me a scan of an old family photograph that is wrinkled, torn or otherwise damaged, and I will restore it for you.  If you have a blog, let me know if you need a banner or ad for your sidebar, or an original banner for your blog.  If you need an avatar, I can create one of those too.  Just let me know.  You were there for me, I am also here for you.
