chris

so over time i’ve learned how important it is to have good friends of the same sex.  earlier today my friend chris (hey chris if you’re reading) called me, and we just talked for maybe 30 minutes or so about life.  i told him that i missed his friendship.  being 2500 miles away and existing in different time zones can sometimes be a hindrance to conversation time.  chris might become really embarassed about this blog, but i’m going to brag about him for a little bit because….well just because i can.  afterall, this is my blog.

i look up to chris.  it’s almost ridiculous how much i love that guy.  through my friendship with him i’ve been challenged in so so so many different ways.  but what makes me appreciate my friendship with chris the most is his passion for god.  he has always encouraged me in my faith.  he’s given me insights about life that i’ve never thought about on my own.  he’s prayed for me.  he’s listened.  chris has modeled to me what jesus looks like on several different levels.  i’m beginning to understand the importance of having friends like chris, the importance of having friends that are deeply in love with god.  so chris, thanks man! i miss you and love you!
