BLOGS

Blog or Article?

Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.

Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made.  Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.

EMO

Ok, I'll admit it even though I am a guy. My emotions have been stirred seeing and reconnecting with people on this site. I am not sure exactly why and I can not really explain it and do not want to try. There have been a few tears of joy and a few outloud laughs. biggrin.gif

I don't claim to be as religious or bible believeing as I was in my youth. I am not even a church goer at this time. But it appears that whatever "bond" we had in our brief years in The Way Corps affected us more deeply than we may have realized, even some 30 years later, perhaps even for the rest of our lives. I do not think this is a bad thing. But I do believe it would be difficult to set it (our relationships and experiences in The Way Corps) aside and forget about it.

As for me, I just want to enjoy these moments (and emotions) while they last and celebrate the lives of some of the greatest people I have ever met.

  • Hi John. Thanks for doing this. It was good to hear from you. I'm still in Christ and awaiting his return.
    In Christ,

  • No money, John. And as I said, I'm a nut job, so don't take anything I said too seriously. What member number are we? The Shirleys

  • My first "Dear John" letter--I am only weakly reiterating what many people have written on your page. But it remains in my heart to let you know that this "site" has greatly affected my life (in a good way-ha). I may be "out in left field" but so are a lot of other good ball players. So for what it's worth, what you have done for me, and it looks like many other golden people, is extremely healing. And when I say "healing," I mean past the bone marrow. I've never recovered from the trauma of finding so much truth and so many saints and then losing the saints and all that went with that (not the truth--but a lot of confusion et al). I feel something I haven't felt in a long time--can't describe it--but I cry a lot from it. And I laugh inside that. Yes, you can see I'm truly a nut job. But I really needed to thank you for following your heart to design a forum such as this. You may have saved my life. I don't even know you, but your profile is inspiring, friendly and welcoming. OK, I'll just say it--I love you. (Please don't tell my husband.) I don't know what will become of all this, but it will be good beyond what any one of us can know now. It already has been very good. Thanks, John. Love from Bryce and Marilyn Shirley
  • I have had a few comments from a variety of people by this time (667 members). When someone uses the phrase “this site has changed my life” or "I can't tell you how much this has meant to me", or "I can't thank you enough for doing this" I feel like maybe my starting this site was right and good and profitable in some way. I have had quite a few comments like that.

    Yeah, we all know the initial thrill wears off after a while, but it is still nice for a person to know they are welcome in the midst of some friends they can easily interact with at any given time, even if it is a time when they feel a little lonely or if they just want a few laughs or a walk down memory lane.

    Happy New Year to all!
  • Aah Vicki- I love the shoes analogy...
    And John, I agree completely. The love between us all lives in what I call "the land of no words". I too have cried tears of joy over all these heart-pings I've been having, the precious notes people have been sending & all the memories that have been stirred. It seems the same people are on here as are on the magic mirror ongoing discussion (yay 9th corps!!!), where we've been touching on all this live reunion talk. I've volunteered to help, how about you, Vicki? And John, let's try & put our heads together on this again. You guys can both read the last few entries on the mirror page & add your ideas (my brain is already "imagineering" like crazy...) As wonderful as these cyber-communications can be, there's nothing like a big hug!
  • John:

    I love what you said. Woh - did a guy just say "emotion"? It's a great thing to have loved with all our hearts, and to have understood at that time that this was what we were doing. It was for real, and it was for all of the marbles. Even though many of us walk on different paths nowadays, these relationships are comfortable shoes that we broke in when we were first learning to walk; in some ways, they will always fit our feet the best. We moved on to other lives, but the people stay part of us. I love that. I'm not going to try to figure it out too much; I'm just loving getting back in touch with folks I'd lost. Thanks, thanks, thanks, Did somebody say "reunion?" Oh, yeah. I just read you say it, in some other post. BTW, I haven't listened to your page music for a couple of weeks; it's different, but great! Have you heard the new Eagles song, "Do Something" ? Love to Hope. Vickie
  • Come to Florda with Joe Christian when he goes to see TT. We'll hook up. We'd love to meet you and see you all again. We'll have a mini reunion.
  • You are so right, John, I agree with you. I love each day of my life now and I loved each day of my life then too. Ditto to some of the greatest people I know and some wonderful times and memories! All of my days make me the person I am today.

    I look forward to the days ahead to see who all we get to connect with again.
  • Amen John! I know how you feel. In reply to you question about where I am , I'm twenty miles southwest of Lousiville next door to the Fort Knox Military Reservation with lots of hunting and fishing adventure and a local machine gun shooting facility if'n ya like.
