Dear Editor:
You need to have a lot of faith, be strong willed, have an iron fist and have more guts than a government mule to operate a newspaper. The newspaper industry is a cutthroat operation. Today's enemies could be tomorrow's friends. But there's no business like the newspaper business.
Pray for the newspaper people. They have a lot of stress and pressure dealing with hot news items. For whatever the newspaper people write about, somebody is going to get mad. Chill out and back off when the newspaper people have opinions on issues. What I like about the newspaper is that some headlines are like bible prophecy being fulfilled. I feel my calling is that of a newspaper prophet.
I preach through the letters to the editor. I have the largest congregation in the newspaper world. My audience is hard-core newspaper readers, though some of the newspaper junkies wouldn't darken the doors of a church even if you hit them over the head with a huge Sunday newspaper. So, if you don't go to church, the church will go to your doorstep in a beautiful anointed newspaper. And remember, someday there could be no newspapers, then it would be a sad world.
George Culle
