There is a big difference bet...So very true Pastor! There is a big difference between a friend and an aquaintance. You are right - friends are always there. They are willing to go the extra mile. Over the years Ed & I have had many aquaintances but only a few people that we counted as intimate friends. When you open yourself up to what it takes to be a friend you also open yourself up to the potential for deep hurts as well. I guess that's just part of it and fortunately doesn't happen often. But the rewards are far greater and sooo worth the effort. Looking forward to spending time with you and Debi tonight. Though our friendship goes back only 9 years, we hope to be sharing stories 30 years from now! See you later friend! <br /> Pat SiversonPat Siversonnoreply@blogger.com
