Post Has your Acts-celerate Family touched your life? shaunbwilson
Another thread got me to thinking about how this board touched my life in time of need. Prayers and donations helped someone very close to me through a very tough time. While Acts-celerate is usually about having fun or about good, honest debate, there are times where I've seen it touch people at a pivotal and often times heartwrenching point in their lives.

I was wondering how many of you will state that you personally were touched during a time in your life whether directly or indirectly through your Acts-celerate family.

Post More than once.... Phil Hoover
And in ways that shall remain between those persons, myself and God.

When I thought I was going to "lose my mind" more than one person here "became my friend" in very tangible ways.


Yes...I have been personally and profoundly touched.

The vast majority of ACTS have encouraged me, strengthened me and verified that I am not alone in facing battles. I have found encouragement in them. The posters are amongst the best! I also want to commend, Accento, Shaun, and others.

The intellectual and spiritual honesty of many has impressed and helped me immensely.

Oops I didn't vote, I am surprised at the small number voting.

Post Hurricane Charley BV COG
In the aftermath of the storm, many posters came to the aid of my family and church. These posters became friends through the adversity we faced at the time and overwhelmed us with love, prayers and financial support.

One of the greatest blessings came inthe form of a Bible, I cherish that Bible and it will always hold a special place in my heart and ministry.

Through Acts, I've made a friends and even opened a door for my family to a new church. There are too many friends to count, too many people to thank and too many great things that has happened here.

Admist all the junk sometimes, there are great people here and great blessings!

Very Happy

Even though I am new to the board, I have been a guest here for some while now. My first encounter with Acts came at a well needed time in my walk with the Lord. I had just begun going through a seriously tough trial concerning our church, when a minister friend of mine told me about Acts. (Thinking that someone here might have discussed something similar to what I was going through, I decided to check Acts out.) As I began to read various threads, I became more and more blessed. God used so many of you to encourage me, without you even knowing. I am thankful for your humor, your intellect, and your perspectives. Thank you for being such a Blessing to me!

Post I can't even count how many times. RaceForTheCure
I have never used a pen name here so it's not that I come here because of the anonymity the site affords people. I come here because, no matter how much fussing and bickering goes on, there are godly, prayerful, loving people here.
In the last year during my mom's illness and subsequent death there were times that I almost couldn't wait to get home so I could get on Acts and just interact with the people here. I sometimes felt bad that they would be sick of hearing about me and my family situations but there was never a time when I posted that someone didn't reply with words of love and encouragement.
Even now, when I've been able to basically stop posting and posting about my mom and have started posting happy things and updates on my dad's visit and such there's still always someone who congratulates me or chimes in on the conversation.
I've met a few Actscelerators face to face (I actually have met the super famous BV COG - yes, it's true - he IS real!). I've met Phil Underwood and one other poster that I don't even know his pen name.
Acts really is a family and I am honored to be part of that family - even when we act like a bunch of 12 year olds.
Love all you Actscelerators!!!!!

the majority of what I do on acts is purely entertainment. I admit that I push buttons. but behind the scenes, through the inboxes and emails I try to do some real ministry. I have been ministered to on many occasions by many folk as well. but I sure do really miss the Old Time Country Preacher with his gift a blessin folk an all.

Post Re: Has your Acts-celerate Family touched your life? Brenda
I want to say.. this board is just what I need!
I found that out several years ago when I first went on it. It was what I was looking for.

I feel altho I don't know any of you... welllll except my son, hee hee.
I have friends here.
Friends that are here to help not pounce on anything I have to say. Not critical or judgemental. I feel if I need someone your here for me. To help and not ignore me. To encourage and lift me up. And isn't that what this faith way is all about? As brothers and sisters we are to share one anothers burdens.. pray for one another.

I've laughed alot and I've shed a few tears while reading different entries on here.
I relate to a lot of things that's said altho I don't always comment on it.

Reading different comments I try to get a feel for what type of person you are. I know the written page a lot of times differs from the actual person.
I find here a spirit of love. I feel the kind of people on here is what heaven is going to be like.
I'm glad to be apart of it and glad my son introduced me to it.

You are down home kind of people.. my kind of people.
We're a small village that is here to give a helping hand.




I just want to say...

God bless everyone.

Now I'll go back and vote. Laughing
