Will,
I for one, am sorry to see you go. You spoke a great many truths in your
time on Rangernet and I appreciate your witness, your boldness, and your
obvious love for what is right. Of course, you must do what you feel is
right and what is necessary for you to remain strong in the Lord. If there's
ever anything you need please write. If you're ever in or near east Texas
I'd love to have you as a guest.
God bless brother,
Michael
