SPEAKOUT

I'D JUST LIKE to say one thing. The most beautiful Christmas display in Cape Girardeau happens to be the house on Good Hope street in Cape Girardeau. I'd just like to say the lights are beautiful and the people there are really friendly. Thank you very much.

I'D JUST LIKE to say that I think the Chamber of Commerce and the SEMO Council of the Arts did a wonderful job with the home Christmas light tour this year. And the man that played Santa Claus was wonderful. Our hats off to him. Thank you.

GOD BLESS THE lady who called in with the poem "Christmas Time in Heaven." My child was killed by a drunk driver several years ago. Your poem helped to brighten the holidays for me. Thank you.

I THINK IT'S really sad and greedy for business people to have their businesses open on Christmas eve and Christmas day.

THANK YOU, E.J. Rotert and Wynn B. Rust, for bringing reason and exception to the gay and lesbian Christmas display at the North County Park. Jesus' teachings are of unconditional love. It seems there are some among us who have failed to recognize this basic teaching. True peace on Earth is founded on this. Thank you.

I JUST WANTED to say I think it's great the way radio station Y105 put aside all there programing and there schedule for two days and completely dedicated it to Christmas music. Thank you very much, Y105.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE, and a Happy New Year.

THANK YOU FOR allowing me to Speak Out. Wynn Rust, I read and reread your Be Our Guest column. I've been pondering in my heart all the points that you so kindly expressed. The article is so refreshing at a time when we are having so much hatred and animosity in our city and in our country. You left no doubt that the spirit of Christ is living within you. Thank you for a heartwarming sermon on Christmas eve.
