Wanted to really thank you guys for the fun last night. The PvP was excellent but the opportunity to spend time with a lot of you was the most rewarding. I am sorry for those I was unable to see in game one last time, but I do wish you guys the best and will keep praying for you all. A few words for a few people that I've grown close to throughout the years *yes, years for me in guild*.
Tebran - Lee, thank you for being the person to plant the seed that has grown into Redeemed today. Your sapling has grown into a tree with many names and has blessed countless members, including myself.
Avesther - Cory, your ability to befriend someone is uncanny. You find a way to make people feel special even in all of their Noob glory. Your leadership, commitment to the guild and its members is truly an inspiration.
Icthus - Your leadership and wisdom are a step above Matt. God has truly utilized you to bring members back together and bridge a gap. The gift of having our brothers and sisters rejoin Redeemed is something not soon forgotten. Thank you!
Citgrad\Goodwone - Lisa and Dwight, you both have HUGE hearts and a desire to help. I have felt nothing but love and peace from you both and the servant attitude that Christ would have us reflect really comes out in you both. It has been an honor playing alongside you. May God continue to bless you both!
Gilga - Out of all of the leaders in the guild I truly feel like our brain waves match. Your guidance, wisdom, caring and heartfelt approach to issues\steps are truly ordered of God. Your light has shone as a bright beacon to me. Bless you in all you do, I will miss you greatly!
Treebranch - Though I did not get to meet you in Cali, I feel as if I have known you for a long time. Your heart beats with a compassion for others and it does my heart well to know that Redeemed has leaders like you.
Reco - Kurt, it has been a privelage to serve with you in the guild. The leadership qualities you possess will make you successful in all you do. God has blessed you with the ability to lead people, do it with His wisdom and you will be richly rewarded.
Cassadine - It feels as if you and I have just started to really click, and I hate that we can't continue it in-game. However, your diligence to this guild shines through and I pray that I get the opportunity to play alongside you in another game someday soon!
Sandric - Matt, what can I say...we've known each others for years now and it has always been my pleasure to acknowledge you as my friend. You extend yourself above and beyond for the guild and for ToJ. Your dedication to others makes you such an invaluable resource. God bless you!
Nevi - Fj has made a name for himself, I expect that you'll carry on his traditions well. *Lucy pulls and all* Remember that you are a leader among leaders and your example is needed most. God raises those who are strong into positions of leadership over His people, and that is why you are where you are in the guild. Lead well, and make the impact God has set for you.
Goblit - Tara, our relationship has been one of the most strained in the guild and that's no secret. We've seen some pretty horrible times together, but it has done nothing but to bring us to where we are today. I leave the guild considering you to be one of the members I've grown closest to. I've seen the good work started in you and can't wait to see the full bloom aftermath. God has plans for your life and your encouragement\ability to reach out to others is definitely a strongpoint. Your example of reaching out to others is one for us all to follow.
Quantam - It is your ability to drive people to the Nth degree of their potential that makes me realize why you are so successful. Your are meticulous in your planning\strategizing and it pays off. You not only know how to lead, but you know how and where to push to get results. Your planning has helped to shape Redeemed into a much sought after end-game raiding guild. This has helped to bring in people that might not otherwise join, and who once join decide not to leave b\c of what this guild offers them. This guild owes you a debt of gratitude, and I for one thank you.
Sazul\Arakk - It has been awesome to play alongside anther married couple with the same classes as myself and my wife. You guys devote yourselves to whatever you set your hands to, helping to empower others, and proving yourselves to be assets to this guild. Thank you. *P.S. my uber-1337 tanking skillz are partially owed to Saz who helped teach me some things back in MC days*
Where(2)/Laraptor - Again a married couple that shares the same classes as me and my wife..WooT! Truly, it has been a pleasure serving alongside you both. You have always extended a warm hand to us and are always eager to help out your fellow guildmates. Your presence in the guild is of great magnitude and Redeemed is blessed to have you.
This is getting long and while I'd like to type a personal message to each and every one of you I am running out of room\time. It has been a long, incredible journey for which my imagination could never compete. God has enriched my life so much by allowing me to be a part of this guild. I have met the most awesome people, played a fantastic game and have been able to do these things with other believers. Each person in the guild holds a special place in my heart. I do hope to see as many of you as possible in another game in the future. My cell phone number is posted in the officer forums and I hereby give the officers permission to share it with any guild member that requests it. Feel free to call me for any reason. My prayers are with you all.

All of our best to you both, God bless.
