As far as views for your leagues, they may be lower the less detailed you are with the related reports, I think, EC. But if you want to lessen the level of detail in the reports in hopes of being able to complete more seasons for it or them, you'll probably have to accept the chances that many readers around here may not continue to follow your leagues closely in the future. Or they may not start following them closely if they've not yet done so enough here. At least, that's what I think here, in any case.

On another front, God's hand has been on me for a very long time in my own life, for sure. If I remember correctly, I could actually have been gone from this world at least twice, in certain situations, before I was 15 years old, but thanks to God, and Mother in at least one case, I am still here, fortunately. God has preserved my life to this time, and I am immensely grateful for every day He allows me to live in His world that He created roughly six thousand or so years ago, more or less. And for the people in it, whether friend, relative, enemy, or whoever, whether I've ever met them face-to face in it or not, somehow, in truth.

There is someone I've loved for a very long time in my life, but she is not available to me, and hasn't been in my presence for a very long time, unfortunately. I do not know if I'll ever see her again in this life, either, for that matter. She's the only one I've ever really wanted to ever have as a potential wife in my life, but it is not possible for me, or at least not at this time, if ever, for it. Certain life circumstances prevented related things from potentially developing along those lines, but God has still been with me through it all, and I'm so grateful for that as well. I do hope, however, that if we ever do regain contact with each other, that I can at least be a friend to her, Lord willing and all, in a Godly manner and all. But chances aren't apparently all that good for us to potentially be able to meet each other again in this world, I think, or at least not at present, anyway.

There have been many difficult situations for me and mine in our lives, for sure. But I'm still reminded that in Isaiah 53, Isaiah says that Jesus is a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, among other things, but that He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, and has been wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by HIS stripes we are healed.

This chapter in Isaiah, among many others in the Bible, is very comforting to me in such times that I am feeling down and weak and all, and unsure about many things, for sure. It tells me that things will be better in the future than they may be at any time, if I keep trusting in Him and believing in Him, as I have in my life since before I was ten years old, if memory serves me correctly. It means that as long as I cling to Him, and His ways, to the best of my ability, I shall ultimately be made perfect through Him and His work in my life, even though I am still not perfect myself due to my inherent sin nature.

I look ever forwards to the day when I can actually see my Saviour face-to-face, fully redeemed, and made perfect and immortal for all eternity yet to come. But that day is not yet here, so I still have a purpose to fulfill in my life as long as He allows me to remain in this world of His before my eventual departure from it. I may not know it fully at this time, if ever, in this life. But I still know He has a plan for me as far as the rest of it here in it, just the same, for sure. Until that time of departure arrives for me here, though, I certainly will endeavor constantly to do His will as best as I can and all, according to His leading and all, whenever I can. CD out.
