Thanks for posting this :)

You know, if there's one thing that I'm glad that I've gotten out of hanging around this site, it's that it's really renewed my faith seeing so many people openly expressing their faith and love of God.

No matter what happens tomorrow, I'm thankful that people on this board have been peaceful in sharing their ideas and thoughts. It was really bothering me when I still hung out on TD.W that so many people over there were calling for violence and rioting and stuff like that. Maybe they were paid, maybe they were plants, I don't know. But I feel that as Christians we're not called to violence or hatred. It's been great too seeing calls for people to not be angry at their fellow countrymen but instead to try and understand why they have their point of view, even though it seems so misguided at times. They're still our brothers and sisters, after all.

Also when I had spent a lot more time in my faith in the past, one of the things that I always struggled with was the idea of surrendering things to God. And I've found that through my time here that concept has gotten a lot easier for me. We'll see what God wills tomorrow. If that's a way that our country is spared from socialism and an accelerated slide into degeneracy, that's great. If that's not the road that He has in mind for us, so be it. Seeing everyone here makes me happy knowing that the ideas of self-responsibility, monogamy, personal growth, and everything like that are alive and well. They may be harder to see in today's world, but they're there all the same.

I think it's funny that so many people cry out against this board and other forums like it, thinking that it's some sort of revolutionary or other sort of insurrection-based ideology, when in reality this whole thing has been more about guessing about puzzles and screwing around. I can say that I've definitely learned more about politics too and have a better appreciation for the work that the Founding Fathers put into designing our political system. I've been able to gain more discernment with selecting news sources and have gotten better about cutting waaaay back on my social media time. Plus a new side hobby of watching planes is pretty cool too lol.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off on such a rant. Just appreciated the message and felt good to get some things off my mind. I'll throw a link below to what hymn I'm going to be listening to all night. And to steal from one of my other favorite hymns..."And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless You still".
