I'd never looked at my past in that light before.GliterallyScoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013868565165163552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23739297.post-1151723170727255872006-06-30T22:06:00.000-05:002006-06-30T22:06:00.000-05:00Joanna,You blogged on my site, so I thought I woul...Joanna,<BR/><BR/>You blogged on my site, so I thought I would return the favor. I hope that this will be taken in the spirit offered. It isn't that we didn't or don't really know who you are (although I will admit that there are parts of your life that we aren't privy to), it is that your past is irrevelant to the bonds of our friendships with you. The apostle Paul was no less a servant of Christ because he once persecuted the Church (indeed he was more a servant for it), and George Washington was no less a leader of men because he was a slave holder. I imagine that I speak for a great number of people in saying that my friendship with you is not weakened by knowing that *gasp* you struggle with sin. We all do. All I need to know is that you are compassionate and loving, a smiling face when I need a friend and someone who walks beside me when I am in the shadows, encouraging me to rise above them.<BR/><BR/>You are a good friend, Joanna, perhaps one of the best I've ever had, and I consider myself fortunate everyday that God has brought you into our lives. Nothing in the past, yours or mine, will change that fact.Phylemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914650199233655477noreply@blogger.com
