I think a lot of people began that way, myself included. The longer you're here, the more you experience the deeper benefits of the platform.

That's a great thing, isn't it? It makes you question why there's so long between visits but, I guess, that's the state of the world today. This place has been the single best thing I've ever done for

We are definitely blessed!

Thanks Jay! I stay for all the same reasons—nothing beats it!

Thank you Nancy! It was so weird being away for six days. I can't remember the last time I did that. We had so much fun together. It's strange how children can both exhaust and recharge you at the same
