Scott's N-Cites

Friends

Friends are one of God's greatest gifts, and our lives have been enriched this week by some of the greatest people on earth. We had an awesome time with Randy, Connie & Jesse watching the Steelers win the big one and laughing our heads off at the commercials. Great time with great friends.
Monday we shared a meal and life with Chris, Sara & Macee. We've been friends for about nine years now and can say anything to each other without worrying how it will be taken. Great food, great conversation, great friends.
I ran into Deb today at the library and was totally fired up to see her doing a Bible study with a new friend of ours from Sri Lanka who is exploring Christianity. There they were, having church right in the public library! She left the library to hang our with some hurting teenagers and share God's love with them, too. Great example of God's love from a great friend.
I left the library (where I was studying for the real estate exam coming up) and went to particpate in a scripture study group with some pastor friends. This time on Tuesdays is always a highlight as I spend time in the Greatest Book with some of God's greatest servants. As usual, I was encouraged and challenged as I saw Jesus in the lives of friends with whom I share the greatest calling.
We spent the evening tonight with Dave & Beth, sharing what God is doing in our lives, reminiscing about old times and looking expectantly toward the future. Though we are worshiping with different congregations, we are part of the same Body and getting connected again was more than encouraging - it was life-giving. Great fellowship with great friends.

Today's N-Cite: When God said it was not good for man to be alone, I think he meant that to apply to much more than marriage. We really do need each other and I thank God for these and many more friends He has given us. Our lives are infinitely better because of all of you!
