That's exactly how I felt when YOU headed for the Texas Panhandle - leaving Dallas in your rearview mirror.

I DO know that feeling.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious to know what you're reading about friendship. Last fall, I spoke at a "Friends' Day" and decided to talk about, what else, friendship. In preparing for that, I was struck by the ways the Bible undermines or reorients common notions of friendship. I'd like to revisit those thoughts sometime.Frank Bellizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949066335378651585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10246373.post-56245860309784485552008-05-20T20:20:00.000-07:002008-05-20T20:20:00.000-07:00I'm sorry your friends are moving - that is so har...I'm sorry your friends are moving - that is so hard! <BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, your worship minister has quite the sense of humor based on comments here.Amy S.

Only God could have come up with something as blessed as the gift of a true friend. <BR/><BR/>It’s difficult to think about friendship and my mind not go to the awesome friendship God blessed David and Jonathan with…even though Jonathan knew he would not follow his father Saul as King, he still loved and supported David with his life. <BR/><BR/>As I read your post – and even now, my mind is racing with thoughts of the wonderful friends God has blessed me with, both now and growing up – I truly am blessed.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the reminder.<BR/><BR/>A few scripture that crossed my mind as I was writing…<BR/><BR/>Wounds from a friend can be trusted,<BR/>Proverbs 27:6<BR/><BR/>A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.<BR/>Proverbs 17:17<BR/><BR/>…there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<BR/>Proverbs 18:24<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend...jamie rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161240229587198168noreply@blogger.com
