People

thanks to ben, i did have a fine run this morning. we got to jog for a bit, hear the band people practicing on the football field, see the abt's and the middlebrooks houses (ben hadn't seen them before), and then chat for a while. i love my friends that i'm able to keep in touch with and stay close to. isn't it sad when you graduate from highschool and realize it isn't feasible to stay in contact with everyone? sure, you can if you're super-human and madly dedicated. but seriously, if you don't make the effort, people drift away. this is not, by the way, the first time i've discovered this, nor is it likely the first time to have crossed your own mind. anyway, i was just thinking how much i appreciate and want ben's friendship. someone i've shared experiences with, who will hold me accountable to the things i profess are important (my life with christ), who also has similar interests. such as running like mad people around nacogdoches on saturday morning when any college student in the right mind would be asleep. since it's now time to head to the lake, i'm off and away. have a great weekend, all you wonderful people.
