Hey y'all.
Just when I try to do a lighthearted post everything crashes in.
My best friend died Wednesday.
He and I have known each other since we were 13, about 1983, and been fast friends since almost day one. He's a Christian who loves God, and was devoted to God long before I was, although I thought I was back then and told people the same.
We loved the same music and he is an amazing singer and very good guitarist. His family, particularly his mom and dad, were like a second family to me. One of the bonds of friendship we shared was that we knew we could ask each other anything under the sun, and get not the happy answer, but the loving and honest answer, no matter what. He loved to cook as much as I do, but was a better cook than me. We even shared a love of aquariums.
He was a guy who people could be around and just sense something beautiful about him. I know that because they told me so on many occasions. Have you ever met one of those Christians who just exudes that loving spirit? That was him. He was also one of my two fishing partners. A fishing partner isn't easy to come by, because a fisherman only meets a few people he really wants with him when he's trying to catch fish. Maybe somebody who really pushes him, maybe somebody who just appreciates the air...whatever.
Both of my fishing partners, one of my brothers and now my best friend, are gone.
I know I'll see him again though, because he is saved. Would you please pray for the widow he leaves behind, and their 5 year old son who is now without his father?
Thanks.
