I haven't read through the thread yet and hubby is making pop corn and wants to watch a movie... (I'de rather be on the computer... LOL )

I like what Rep Daddy wrote and I like a lot of the good ideas here. I mostly think it will be nice to have more fellowship here... along with the fun stuff too. I'm happy to comply in whatever way is best. There could be more than a few ways in making it all work right.

God Bless,

Debbie

Hello

I read the whole thread and I am pretty much in agreement with RepDaddy and several others...

I don't spend a lot of time in this subforum but will continue to pop in as I can...

I pray daily for all my brothers and sisters here

God Bless,

Between kids and hubby and working, I don't get as much computer time as I would love to have. I really do enjoy the fellowship on CF and I'm really starting to love our subforum here. What a wonderful blessing it is to have a place that we all can come to and fellowship and share together and pray together.

I just finished reading this thread. There is still a lot of fellowshipping being done on the original thread. I think it has its moments when there is lots of fellowshipping going on and then its quiet times.

I try my best to rep everyone who reps me, no one has complained to me about not returning a rep. I am not sure who owes who anymore, I don't know if a person is returning my rep or if I am returning their rep.

But this forum has introduced me to many people who I now consider friends that I might never have met. People who have touched my heart and soul. People who I share their ups and downs. People who I pray for.

Now I wish we could all gather for a big group hug and prayer time. Luv you guys.

I don't really believe in luck... but it being St. Patrick's Day and all... Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I love this thread because it's about the fellowshipping, more so than the repping. We have a safe place to come to... to say hi... It's nice. The repping thingie is not necessary for this thread... that is one of the cool things about this thread. We can talk and fellowship and grow closer to one another.

God Bless

I day or so ago I posted a "Too Bummed Out to Beg" thread, which was a bit tongue in cheek but also reflecting feelings I have had about my participation here recently.

What I have to say below has to do with me, it is not critical of others. I believe folks here should be able to find and pursue their own style and I am not desiring to make them like me.

But as for me, I really had lost the interest of posting here. That was odd because I love this forum and all the folks here. You are my friends and I know of none here I do not get along with.

I have figured out why I was bummed out. From the beginning the whole Repaholic idea was never as much about reps as it was about fun and community. The concept of shameless begging was always role playing rather than reality.

When I hit 15 to 20 stars it was a blast because you could push others to their goals. That was fun. But somewhere I became more focused on stars an gaining them efficiently rather than building community through the process.

I am not criticizing other who have lots of stars, that's a part of what makes this place interesting. I am simply saying that for me stars are a means to an end -- or need to be.

As a result, I have decided to refocus to what originally energized me. That is building community and making a few folks laugh while looking for opportunities to minister as a shepherd.

What am I asking others to do? Nothing unless you want to. There is no one approach in this forum. Folks with no stars are just as cool as megazillas. In fact those with fewer stars have more fun gaining them and are therefore in a neat position to encourage,

I appreciate the outreach efforts of the Star Dream Team and the outreach to the 40s forum and 50+ forum, these have been a blessing to new folks. I hope these efforts will continue as they are now and expand.

I welcome folks who want to to join me in adding more creative and fellowship threads to this forum to offer more variety and attract people of varying rep levels to interact with each other.


NOTE: In responding to this post, please do not criticize others as a group or personally. I do not want that. Keep your reactions as your reactions.

And if you choose to rep me for this post, I will not be offended. However, I am more interested in you knowing what I have been wrestling with personally.

RepDaddy is BACK!

Glad you're back, RD!!

I love our pastor Steve. Sweetie... you are truly a blessing and in my heart.. somehow... I truly believe that you have made Christ proud of you.

I know you are going through a rough time... you are very much in my prayers.

May God bless you and give you courage and strength and happiness through this Easter time.

God's Grace and Peace to You and Yours
