Friends

I’ve been blessed with many things in life, including these close, personal friends of mine: Lisa, Eric, Heidi, and Dan. I’ve had the great privilege of getting to know them; hearing their stories; discussing their hopes, dreams, and fears; laughing with them, singing with them, praying with them, and sometimes even crying with them.

God, thank you for these allies, and the chance to be a part of their lives.

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships."
