Praying for you Brother- You have never offended me-and I don't have an ignore list. AFF is a great place to hang out, discuss and connect with people who have common backgrounds. Our God is able to see you through.
I don't know you, and, as far as I can recall, we have never really interacted. I don't know if you know this or not, but, your namesake in the Bible is NEVER mentioned alone. Have you ever noticed that? He is always mentioned along with his wife, Priscilla. The point is this: Aquila is never mentioned alone, just as you are never alone. You always have friends with you. I understand what you mean by feeling like you are alone in your spiritual journey. Believe me, I know. But, you are never alone. You have friends. And you have an ever present Friend. Further, you can call me your friend and brother in Christ. We may not always agree, but as long as you and I both are on a spiritual journey, we are brothers in the Lord. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need a friend to listen. I'll be there.

I’ve felt real alone in my spiritual walk the past year or so, that’s a long story. Lately I’ve felt like I’m just drifting around here on this forum without any real “friends”, like I just don’t fit in. Maybe I hold some controversial beliefs, but I mean well and I’m not above being mistaken. I need you guys a lot right now. My family is going through some transitions and I’m scared and don’t know what to do. I need someone I can get to know, someone I can open up to, someone that I can feel safe with, someone who will not judge me, but who will tell me the truth while standing by my side. So I had to say this….
I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone. I have a tendency to use strong words and I come off far worse than I intend. Please forgive me.
I also would like to ask if you guys would let me in. Let me into the circle of friends here, even if for just a little bit.
Thanks guys.
God bless.

Chris, you and I have sparred on and off for a long time, but you've never offended me, and I've learned a lot from you, in fact. I've always considered you a friend. Keep on keeping on, my brother. You are special.

Brother I appreciate you. We can be friends regardless of our differences - just promise me you will never even vote for Barack Obama again, and we will get along fine!
You have our prayers and blessings my friend.
