I remember the joy of true friendship and remember those are more important than the ones that might disappoint us. We can't rid ourselves of the risk of disappointment, but we must never stop reaching out to be friends and also never stop being open enough for friendship. btw, Glynn -- "and it was then that I learned that he had angels protecting him, because he drove like a maniac. " You got me laughing... you have a way of slipping those in!

You are working every day to build people up in the faith. <br /><br />But, I hope the similarity ends at his death-defying driving. I've known a couple of spiritual athletes who put the fear of God in me when they were behind the steering wheel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-22925435152594452242011-09-15T18:14:19.160-05:002011-09-15T18:14:19.160-05:00i like the part of the story where he was hysteric...i like the part of the story where he was hysterical. that really makes me smile. it sounds like he was full of joy of the occasion.<br /><br />oh! and the scripture at the end of the story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-86667461676547079962011-09-15T16:43:18.638-05:002011-09-15T16:43:18.638-05:00What a beautiful story, Glynn.
