I have a habit of thinking of my friends as "those really cool people who are willing to spend time with me." It's a dumb way of thinking of the people I shamelessly adore, because it leads me to take those special relationships for granted. I was reminded by a dear one last week that some people don't tumble into the paths of quite so many extraordinary friends.
I've talked before about an important subset of friendship: prayer partners. I had them in high school, in college, and for a couple of short years after I moved to PA. I've been missing them for a long time now. I'm actively looking again, and if you'd like to offer a prayer on my behalf this week, it's that I find a new partner. (Of course, you're also welcome to lift a word of thanks for my other delightful friends. I'm certainly doing that.)
How about you? Are you seeking something that I can lift a prayer for?

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was."
