[QUOTE="hopperace, post: 26103558, member: 166356"] Welcome, Tractorjamz, to Christian Forums, the little project of Dr. Erwin Loh that has grown into quite a fascinating and large community. Congratulations on making it this far. Perhaps youve been lurking for a while and have already figured out a bit here and there, like what all those buttons do on the navigation bar at the top, who ChrisBot is, and those particularly dangerous forums that always garner so much attention and trouble (heavy moderation and tempestuous debates).
