"I am a part of all that I have met." ~Lord Alfred Tennyson
I have been getting posts/notes/e-mails from folks that I haven't heard from in quite some time. It's nice to hear from old friends. Now only if I can become more determined/disciplined to keep up communication and be a better friend.
Sometimes I get too insulated in my own life.
I forget that the friendships that I have forged along the way leave lasting marks.
Not that I am that impressionable.
(That's my attempt at making a self-deprecating remark.....I am way too obnoxious to be forgotten)
Anyway.....if there is anything that I have learned in the last week and a half.....it's who my friends are.
They are the ones that I cried with on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (we did a lot of crying).
They are the ones that I partook of some billiards and beer with......at 3 O'Clock in the pm no less!!
They are the ones that I think to take lunch to when they're sick. (For I am normally not that thoughtful!)
They are the ones to tell me what I need to do when I don't know what to do.....Thanks.
They are the ones that pray for me when I don't pray for myself.
I thank all of you......you are all a part of me, and I you.
I love you all and can't wait to be Home........

Yo Mike! Lisa and I terribly miss you and Kristin. I know I miss our awfully deep theological discussions (am I dreaming, or were they really deep? grin). Believe it or not, I miss the Compass, but mainly because of the friends there. You are a bright spot in my life, Michael, and I am glad we "bumped into" each other at work. I am also glad you are back on the blog. Welcome back, friend.
Evans,
I'll write you a longer e-mail, but wanted you to know how much we love and appreciate you guys! THRILLED that you tried to leave, but Waco pullllled you back in! :) One of the only memorable parts of Godfather 3. Talk soon. -Blair
I'm happy that you are back to blogging again but even happier that you and Kristen are coming back here. With love from us all here in Waco,
--Adam
