I want to take this time to thank ptrallan01, and let him, and all of you know how much I have appreaciated all his help here on the GPAWF!!.
When this crazy idea popped into my limited capacity noggin, and I started this forum, Peter was one of the first guys to join. Those of you that were around back then know just how "stripped down" this forum was. it only took me about a week or two to figure out how to put the description of the forum up at the top of the page! Thats right, I knew exactly nothin bout runnin a forum! And it showed! :lol:
One thing that I knew was, I had to surround myself with good moderators, to not only help me when things got difficult, but to also utilize them as my council. I discuss almost every decission on this forum with my moderator team. Each one of them, I value there input, and I lean on their council. They have lift me up so many times, I dont think they even know how much.
When I asked Peter if we would be a part of this team, there was no hesitation on his part, it was a resounding "yes!", and "whatever I can do to help!" He was here during those rough and ragged begginings, and he was here when it looked like we lost the forum due to our old webhost just disappearing, and he has been here as we have steadily grown, and matured. He doesnt post a huge amount like I do, but rather when he feels lead, because he has a Pastors' heart, and if you follow most of his posts, it is always leading with that pastors heart in his response.
The reason I bring all this up, is Peter is stepping down as moderator here at the GPAWF!! . Lately things have been growing and prospering for Peter at home, church and work, and he is finding himself pretty busy as of late. He's still going to be around here, keepin an eye on us, and finding those moments when God leads him to reveal his pastors heart.....
Peter, thanks for all the help you've given me here, job well done my brother! Job well done.
