Alain, I had guessed as much. It's true that being such a nice place as this is a person can easily get very involved, and then find that life and it's priorities like work and family are starting to miss our attention and perhaps even suffer due to our other involvements, so that we are confronted with some choices. I think it happens to alot of people just due to the internet itself, and no doubt there are families and obligations to work being ignored or taken for granted, not necessarily as much here I think, that are causing imbalance and problems in people's lives.
I'm sure Bogdan did not intend such, and I'm sure this very nice community has good purposes and they are realized by people according to the time they have to devote here. I am guessing in some measure you have faced such an issue as I bet many have at times and I think it's just a natural thing that we may often in life have to evaluate how we are balancing things in our life, and God's order and wisdom does call on us to do that at times.
Friends are so marvelous to have and I will say again, that I havn't quite known a community that had the level of goodness such as here that holds people together so well over time, so that I do believe you when you say you really do want to and intend to remain a part. And ofcourse friends understand things like other people's work and obligations and their families which are all very important and family above all needs and deserves our quality time above all .....
So let all people be encouraged that we do prosper ourselves and others most when we keep our lives and time properly ordered and even if we have to have limits on the time we give to all our life activites, I'm sure that we can still give qaulity with what time we have and often qaulity can make up a little for the lack of time we have in our busy lives. So go on and give time where it is due, and I'm sure your friends will hold the fort down until you can visit.
God then family then work and Friends!
Your friend, Kim
