Don't take my Bill away! Or maybe you forget that some of the board's readers aren't there for face-to-face conversation. I think I've printed nearly everything you've written for my collection of board posts. Yes, the board should absolutely be a place for prayer, and for encouragement, but also for ideas and dreams and silly thoughts and artwork and poetry. Even when I was living in Lakeland, this board made me feel like I was really part of everyone's lives, this is how I've gotten to know people that I couldn't go out for coffee with. I know how you feel, when people don't respond to your messages with a post, but I've learned that a lot of people just read them and don't write back because they don't feel like there's anything they can add. I need a variety of input, and from the holiday histories to the links to other artists, to the dreams, to the philosophy, I love this board. I love that everyone is so different and yet so loving. Sometimes I may not really be interested in something, but someone else is, and vice versa. It's great! Don't stop!
