p> MEASURING BEN br> Re: Ben Stein's Out of Disproportion and Ben Stein's A Precious Morning : /p>

I hope this little letter reaches you. In light of everything, I am sure everyone is busy these dark days.

There was a time not that long ago when preachers used to say the Lord does not hear the prayer of the Jews. I didn't believe that then and I don't believe that now. I am sure your prayers have reached the ears of God and have moved His hands on more than one occasion.

p>I am just a little man who moves papers from one end of his desk to the other. There is little chance I will ever meet the great people you have. Yet I am sure God listens to us both as evil men work to wipe our respective faiths from the face of the earth. I confess I am afraid for my family and especially for my sons. (I cried on 9/11 for all those poor people who lost their lives. But I also cried because I knew 9/11 meant war and my little sons could be sucked up into the maelstrom.) In spite of all this, I am sure God will prevail for us both. Bless be our Lord of Moses and all the prophets. Blessed be you, Ben Stein. br> -- Michael Wm. Dooley br> Indianapolis, Indiana /p>
