Dear Friend:
This time I'm really disappointed! And yet -- also, once
again I'm thrilled and overjoyed! Does that sound like a
contradiction?
Let me explain.
It has become tradition, twice each year, for me to offer
something VERY SPECIAL, very fine, and very NEW (absolutely free of

responsibilities of this large and constantly-growing Work have
driven me to a hard pace. I knew I was nearly a year past-due to

that I may plunge on ahead in God's Work in high tension once
again.
Actually, I have not been on the air, myself, with a new
broadcast for several months. I have felt I simply was not in
shape to do justice to a program. You may not know it, but when my
son Garner Ted or I are on the air, in front of a microphone, we
