I love the way this forum has made it possible for us to develop friendships here. I would even say that we have formed an online Christian neighborhood fellowship meeting.
I have had the joy of meeting Boyd and his family in person. I am also pleased to say that I have met Kevin and his wife. There are others whom I have not met in person, but have enjoyed exchanging email and chat room visits.
Several of you encouraged me when I had a death in my family.
We have all prayed for Boyd and his job situation. Prayed for Kevin when he ran into a little trouble.
I have enjoyed Ralph's garden stories and admit to being a little jealous of generous-sized yard he enjoys in relative privacy.
Jochanaan, our soft-spoken musical friend from the Front Range of the Rockies, Jon-Marc, our buddy who's finally enjoying retirement in warm sunny Florida living on a naturist resort, our talented friend Drhornist, Terry, Bearone, Soapbox preacher, aznudepair and all our regulars, too numerous to mention all of them, but all loved and appreciated.
I would be remiss if I failed to mention the good essays Boyd assembled on his main Web site. Thanks to all who made that possible!
Some may not understand why we keep coming here, but I have to have my "BACN" every day. I am sure most of you are sympathetic with this blessed obsession.
Well, I'm pleased if I have helped in any way. As children of God and fellow naturists, we need to encourage one another. Someone from Naturist Christians is coming Sunday afternoon to visit me after I get back from church. We are grieving over the loss of someone in Naturist Christians who went home to be with the lord on Nov.1, and he wants someone to talk to about it. I will write a separate post about him. I still get a bit misty eyed when I think of him. You will understand why when I post it.
Thank you so much Mark and for recognizing everyone here who has contributed. And as you said, "too numerous to mention".
That is why I fight hard to keep this open and to not be so quick to blast someone away for small infractions. We all make mistakes, and as you know, I can make some pretty serious blunders myself.
We are in this together, we have to be strong as a family and as friends as well.
Thank you Mark. As we are not new to Christian naturism, we are new to this forum. We have received many wonderful PM's from members here. We are truly Blessed to have friends like all of you.
Without a dought this is my favote spot online. And the friendships that are being developed here will last a lifetime. I haven't actually met but about 3 or 4 folks that have ever posted on this forum, but I can say that I love many here as though we had been hanging out at each others houses' for years. There is some good friendships here, it's almost unbelievable how a person can become friends with someone we've never met, but then, we serve a God that we've never seen, so I guess it isn't all that far fetched.
