Thank you for such a great article on the Change for Children grants, especially the Moses Basket ["Change for Children: You're Doing a Good Thing," Sept. 10]. You put in a lot of hard work and it showed. I believe we are already reaping the rewards of your article. We had our first user today, which was referred to us by the Wesley House. Thanks again for your help and support through The Call.

I respectfully disagree with the "prominent Methodists" whose names appear in the ad in the New York Times ["Ad says: Political parties don't have monopoly on God," Sept. 10]. God is neither Democrat nor Republican. However, I believe that God is pleased with those who choose to follow his commands (and they are there in his word). I believe that a man has God's approval when he believes in the sanctity of life and wants to protect unborn babies (Exodus 20:13); wants to maintain God's plan for marriage between a man and a woman (Mark 10:6-9); is not ashamed to tell the world that he is a Christian (Matthew 10:32); is not ashamed to claim Jesus Christ as the greatest person he has known (Matthew 16:15-17); and encourages faith-based organizations to help the underprivileged (Galatians 6:2). Could these be the attributes that make Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson feel that God has his hand on one of the candidates?
