Mike, I am overjoyed that you will be sticking around with us. I think if you continue to grow and share with us your experiences here, you will not regret it. We are all richer for having one another and being able to keep one another's company. I know I am always saddened when a member decides that they can no longer continue there journey towards God with us. We don't all , always see eye to eye but there is a strong like mindedness here and indeed the mind of Christ that I don't think you will find anywhere else. We are all still struggling and 'fighting the good fight' as God allows us and everyone is at a different stage in their walk but we are all here to support one another and promote growth in each other. Iron sharpens Iron right? We keep an eye out also for those wolves, we've had a few, but God is faithful and His flock He maintains.
I look forward to your continued contribution with us here Mike.
I'm sorry if I was a bit forward with you as well, it is simply how I interact with those whose intentions and manners I am unfamiliar with, but I meant it no offense.
God bless,
Alex
