Life's Best

Nine days since my last blog is long, too long. What I have been writing hasn't been complete enough, or public enough to put up on the blog. Here is an excerpt from my retelling of a great night last weekend. It was a Sunday, the rains came to Longmont, but it didn't put us indoors for one minute--another reason my friends are so great. That night ranks near the top in all the summer nights.

It was during this time (Sunday night) that it dawned on me again, what we have is so unique. We are not just friends, we are family. That sounds so terribly cliché, but it is true. When one of us has a problem WE fix it. We don’t leave people behind. The love is always there, and it will always be unconditional. We do what we want. We have our loving families. Sometimes things aren’t always perfect at home, but that has driven us more to make things right with our other family. Love, listening, thought, talking, and silence are the toppings on an already immense bond that we share, our love for and relationship with Jesus.

Whatever happens, wherever we go, however far we are from one another, we will always have one another. We will always have these summers. We will always have this time. The time that we had for each other, fellowship, love, memories, and life. As this summer comes to an end I know that it will be my last as I have known them. I will welcome change, and it is coming, but I have lived these most awesome months at home again and again wanting this fellowship to flourish, to expand to the far reaches of this country and this world. We know what has truly made our time together amazing, and we always need to share that love, and the love we have had for each other, with the next strangers we come into contact with.
