"Going away for a while...."

Karen I felt the same way not to long ago, and I did take a break away from here, not because of anything any did, but because of my health, and the fact I needed to focus on getting better, I am sorry you were hurt Karen, I am praying for you, and I agree we would all miss your stories
In Christs Love

Karen,

Not everyone you meet is going to be in agreement to all your beliefs. I no longer claim any kind of religious beliefs, but would never give you grief over yours. You have to learn to not let the negative things get to you and keep doing what you were meant to do. You are a talented writer and to stop doing so on the grounds of different views would be a shame. I would miss you around here, as would countless others.

Karen, I'm missing something here. I've never read a single thing that you wrote that should cause anyone to be critical of. Who ever said something to or about you is the one with a problem--not you. Stay with us. We love you.

If you can't express your beliefs in religion, your God, etc., then others cannot express their beliefs and opinions about whatever! That's what I was driving at a short time ago and how many people commented? 2 or 3 only! I wanted to ask: What will the Christians do when management asks not to write about religion? I consider myself a Christian no matter what others consider me. I just know with no doubt at all that I'm a very imperfect Christian! Don't go away.

I want you here! You have every right to express your opinions and beliefs and you have always done it with respect and grace. Don't go Karen, you are a precious soul and my friend that I would greatly miss.

I can't in my most fantasy full dreams imagine that you have step in anyone toes, less offend anyone with your beliefs.
Intololerance you will find in both camps, those that negate and those that believe.
In the camp of believers we have also the extremism and intolerance that you will find in politics, sports, work or in road-rage.
Letting them to gag you is letting the extremists to gain yet more ground, silencing your self is putting more logs in the wood pile of Salem witches burning stakes.
If somebody is offended by your believing in Jesos...too bad, for them.
Stay and fight back, that will tell them that you are stronger than their malice.

With love

Karen, don't deprive those of us who live reading your posts by the stupidity of others. You have far more friends here than enemies an you would be missed. Please reconsider. I spout my spiritual beliefs any time I want and always will. anyone not wanting to read it can use the delete button--it's their loss, not mine.

Karen who could have possibly upset you to the point you don't want to write and share with us anymore. We deserve to hear what you have to say, as Karla said, you are a very talented person. You have a heart as big as the sun and as bright as gold therefore it is natural for you to be able to share so much with us and educate us on so many disabilities. Please think about this before you make a haste decision. There are a lot of us who do care.

Newfie Hugs are on the way dear, Rose

You've been given a Gift, an incredible Gift: dont' throw it away.

That's what makes this ole world go 'round: our differences. You should know that more than anyone, writing about disabled people ... know what I mean?

Never be ashamed for whom you are, Karen, or what you believe. So others don't. All you can do is pray for them.

I love you: your words are needed here, if not for anyone else, for you, for me. Okay?

((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla.

Always you are in my prayers.
