    I agree with everything you said, Zachary, except for the part about not drinking coffee. And since I’m older than you (66), all those extra years should give weight to the importance of caffeine in one’s life. I measure mine out so I won’t overdo, but oh, how I enjoy it!

    Okay, back to friendship–that pang when you are saying goodbye to someone you have bonded with has always been hard for me. Warm friendships are one of the greatest blessings God gives us. All I want to add is that I am finding out that I can be friends with God too. I mean, I can joke around, make side comments, watch a movie, meet for lunch–all the things I do with good friends–with Him too. And He doesn’t leave. Maybe this is kind of obvious when written down, but I think we tend to neglect it.

      Sorry to write yet again, but I failed to connect the above to writing. I’m trying to incorporate a real relationship with God in my stories, but it’s hard to avoid sounding like a Sunday School lesson–which I’m afraid I did in my previous comment. But how else can we have a story within a Christian world view? I’d welcome suggestions.

What do you think?
