10,000 TH POST BY SHIPAHOY 41

July 9, 2015

This is an open thank you letter to all the members here on crappie dot com. A lot has happened since March 24, 2007 when I joined this website. I have been thinking a lot lately on what message I would post on this momentous occasion. I can only say "Thank you" to Ed (Slab) Moes and all the wonderful members on this site for all that you do for each other, for humanity, and for teaching and promoting the ins and outs of fishing and lure making. If I were to start naming all of the members who have helped me over the past eight years it would take up ten pages of this thread just to name all of you. I can only end this post by referring you to my favorite scripture quote from Romans 12: 9-19 as it is what I have tried to exemplify here on crappie dot com and in my personal life. I hope many of you will choose to read that scripture after seeing this message. May God bless and keep you. May His light shine upon you and grant you peace. The journey to 20,000 posts starts with my first post tomorrow. Again, I humbly thank all of you for what you have done in making this experience so fantastic. I pray I have helped some of you along my journey so that my living will not have been in vain. God bless you!

Thank you my friend. Here they are for those who may not have a B.I.B.L.E (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) close by.
Romans 12: 9-19

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
