Friends...
I am just thinking about the importance of friends in my life, the ones that stand by no matter what. Friends that accept whatever insane thing is going on next. I am lucky to have a few of those.
Friends of friends, friends of Laurie's, friends of ours, friends of Katie and Tommy, compassionate friends, friends you know would do anything they possibly could to help. Friends that love without conditions. Friends that love from afar and you still know they are praying, as you are for them.
What a blessing they are. I had better go get ready for work and count my blessings.

The friendship that comes from your family is priceless
It only makes sence to give it back
"Friends are Friends forever if the Lord is Lord of them..." We may not see each other much, however, you are in my thoughts and prayers forever my friend.

i have thought of you sooo many times these past few days...never at a good time to call...i love you and i miss you and when i don't call i know God hears...
Hi-I dont even know if this will all fit-just wanted to share this:
For Katie, for you, for us all.
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. (and most importantly, HE still loves you)
Remember:If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
When i heard this song... i couldn't help but think of your family and Laurie... and i thought i would share it with you-
