What an amazing, down-to-earth, and heartfelt post! This definitely deserves all the upvotes you got. You write very well. I'm very new here, but already so many people have welcomed me like a friend at least! I'm yet to feel like I'm part of the family, but I can't wait. It's hard to be the new guy (or girl!).

So awesome that you took the time to thank individuals around here. You're giving back to the community by showing your gratitude. This is an attitude that will take you places, including in the offline world. Kudos to declaring your Christianity! I'm a dedicated servant of Christ myself.

I'm following you and look through the people you mentioned here as well.
