[MR] December Acorn received today - 15th

[Jessica Maxson]

Salve!
I'd like to remind everyone that the Kingdom web site is maintained by 
basically one person. This is a huge job - many people do not realize just 
how big a job it is. That person has a life just like the rest of us, has a 
full time job like most of us, so please cut him some slack on this, 
especially at this time of year when we are all so amazingly busy. He is, 
too - and he's an unpaid volunteer for this job.

La vostra in servizio,
--Giuliana Salviati
