I know I have not been as regular here for the last couple years, but today I have been feeling that it may be time for me to just step away for a while. I honestly don’t have the time or the mental/emotional/spiritual capacity right now to be of much use here, and I could use some consolidation in my life. You guys are all awesome! I may still pop in from time to time.
:wave: Totally understand Orson. I’m hoping you’re doing OK, and you find peace wherever you go. Your contributions are awesome. But you need to take care of yourself first, and sometimes be ready to move on to next chapters.
God bless, my friend!
I’ll echo what Heber13 said. Best wishes on your journey of life.
Be as wonderful out there as you are here. God continue to bless you, friend.
I know that feeling. Thank you for all your contributions over the years, Orson. Love you, brother. Like everyone else, I get it. As you go though, please know that your words and thoughts were a deep source of good in my life and journey. I pray it goes well for you. – I will miss you. You will be missed, and your return will always be welcome! I have benefited from your wisdom and wish you well. Hi, Orson – I don’t have much to say, but since I can see these posts now, I don’t want to miss a chance to say thank you to someone who’s contributed so much for so long. I’ll miss your avatar, too. One of my favorites. I looked wayyyyy back to the first pages of your posts and saw one with lots of give and take amongst all of you about how to edit a document of John Dehlin’s. It made me kind of wistful. 2008 came and went and I had not one inkling that I would find myself here. Thanks to you and everyone else who prepared a place for us to safely crash. Thanks to you all very much. I do like to look back with a little nostalgia once in a while. I can’t make sense of everything I was feeling last week but maybe some of it was too many responsibilities. It has been a regular thing for me to go several weeks without logging on here, and I felt that I was neglecting something that I should be doing – but then when I came here to “serve” I felt rushed and ineffective. Maybe I just needed to feel like I could set this load down. You all are wonderful. I may not be able to stay away.
😆 Mormon crack Sums us up quite well, I guess.

😆 Maybe a visit to your local ARP is in order?

😆 It’s good to have you back, Orson.
😆 Seriously, I’m glad we have more mods now, and as life gets busy or crazy or we need a break…it’s good to know Ray has more help.
Keep life balanced. Love ya and your contributions, Orson!
I know, maybe I just had to say “don’t count on me, I won’t always be regular — and I am now approaching StayLDS on my own terms.” 
That last comment made me smile. :clap:
