I miss my Nampa "Band of Brothers." The enclosed picture reminded me of the significance of friendship. The letter from Gary seen in the following, is an example of a true friend who will not only encourage but "Kick Butt" when appropriate. Gary's response came as a result of my posting of a week ago.
"For someone as wise as you are, you often miss the significance of the simple! If you were dealing with anyone else handling the volume of change and chaos that has passed through your life in the last 15 months, you would counsel then to go easy. But not with yourself—you somehow expect you should rise above being mortal and take a road beyond the rest of us.

"The simple fact of growing (or gaining through loss) is that it takes time to process, to grow into the new man as Christ reveals Himself in our inner being, as we recognize what He is showing us and accept that He is leading us beyond ourselves.
" Go easy on your judgment of the value of your journey no matter the course that God leads you on."
WHAT A SPECIAL FRIEND!
