Friends

I met a minister friend for breakfast this morning to get caught up with one another. He
and his wife just returned from taking a trip to Chicago for a few days. Since I went to
Seminary in Naperville, I am well acquaited with Chicago. Another minister friend and
I used to go to Chicago during Lent just to hear great preaching and have time together.
I don't understand why Paul and his wife didn't invite me along as their tour guide.
Paul and I laughed at amost anything anyone of us had to say since we both needed a
break so we don't get broken with the stress and strains of life. It's great therapy for
both of us. Since Bob couldn't be with us we talked about him. It was almsot all good!
At one point I got choked up and alomost spewed coffee on the table. He did ask me
if I was ok. I told him if he would pay the bill I'd be just fine. I'm just fine. Thanks Paul.
After we ate I went to the Mall to walk awhile. Whike there someone sneaked up on me
started scratching my back. I knew who it was before he spoke and I looked to see if
it was Louis. It was. Such a nice guy! Then he kept walking on his way. I would of gone
with him but after all the coffee at breakfast I had to go see John!
I'm back home and trying to stay cool on a very hot day. I've already been refreshed by
two friends who help me along life's journey. I hope I help them as much as they help me.
