The Blessing of Friends

As 2008 begins, I find myself being very "blubbery" according to my daughter. I call it being sentimental.....she is so funny. I am so blessed to have a God that loves me, a family that I love and loves me back where everyone counts and everyone matters, and friends that have come into my life by chance, association, and out of intentional actions. I thought I would honor my friends by describing something I love about them. These are just a few of the special people in my life:

• Lindsay: for always being the positive seeking light for me and my fave Disney buddy!


• Jon: for being not only an awesome son, but also a great work mate as well.
• Ej: for being an awesome son and an example of what determination means.


• Bob: for always considering my feelings and for being a great example of "marriage" with Lori as it should be and for watching over me.


• Lori: for always caring about what is happening in my life and in my heart.


• Shanti: for being genuinely loving and supportive and a true Christian in every sense of the word.


• James: for being a great sense of humor but also showing strength as a man in this crazy world.


• Deb: for being a life long friend that no matter how little or much we see each other, she shows she cares all the time.


• Alison: for being a concerned friend and also wearing a great "boss" hat with the same drive as our friendship


• My teammates: Denise and Leigha who help drive me and support me in my job and in my faith


• Friends in general who lend value to my life: Jami, Lisa, Jeanna, Tony, Josh, (awesome friends and neighbors: Josh S., Mike, David) Pat and John, Chuck and Lorna, Joanne and Terri, Courtney, Scott, Josh, Allison, Brent, Patrick, Terri, Lamart (all from work) more to come!

These are just a few that I interact with either on a daily basis or who have made an impact on my journey.



I have many more that I will talk about in the Blessing of Experiences.



I am blessed!
