My decision

So back at the beginning of the month, I wrote a post that I was taking a break. You can read that here if you're so inclined.

Now as I said in that thread, I know most of you groan (inwardly?) and despise when people write goodbye posts, but I feel as though some of you deserve them. Frankly, there's a some of you that I really like.

That being said, I flip-flopped on discussing my reasons for leaving. I've decided I won't do that here, but I will keep my account active if you want to PM me. Let me just say that some of it's my own personal life outside of here, but most of it is the board.

I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and I pray God blesses you.

Take care.

Take care.  If you decide to come back, we'll be here.

Yep, we will be right here!! Hope your Christmas was good too, ours was great because the kids had a great one.

Glad to hear you aren't leaving us forever! Praying that things will get better for you brother.

We humans always screw up good things... just human nature - Christians or not. I'm a huge screw-up, even when I'm whole-heartedly trying to do good, I still say or do things that can upset others, unintentionally. I say that just to make the point that, I've been thru some tough times in my personal life which my dear friends/family here at CHM were quick to pray for me and offer encouragement.... and I too have had run-ins with a couple people on CHM*. But because of the awesome friendships I've made here, I didn't want a person or 2 to deter me from being a part of this great place ! 
I encourage you to do what is best for you, but your friendship (in the midst of all of us imperfect silly humans on a chat board) is important to us.  I for one enjoy your posts and responses.  So don't fade off and be a stranger !



* don't worry everyone, they're no longer here... they took their heresies elsewhere

I hate to see you go, but I do understand. If you need us, we will be right here.

I hate to see you go.
Glad you are not leaving us forever.
We're here and your chair here at CHM is still free when you come back.
Take care ishmael81

I always prefer "goodbye" posts to mere silence, which leads to conjecture, which leads to rumours (just saying that because you mentioned that some hated "goodbye" posts - don't feel guilty!). I, like many, will miss you around here. Feel free to message me here or on Bookface at any moment if you want to talk.
