Masks...

[kerflumoxed]

While walking today I saw a dear freind of mine. Awkward is not quite the right word to describe the encounter. Painful is more like it. It hurt that I don't know that person anymore. It hurt that I don't know what is going on in their life. It hurt that the reason I don't is becuase they feel they can't be around me anymore. It hurt that we

Problems? Jesu...... Ha Ha Ha Just Kiddin'. I bet that I ahd you Erin Nash. Consider this, when one is real with another (this is emplying that the other person or perhaps both of you are wearing masks) it shows that the other is indeed wearing a mask. By being real and being the very person God made you to be you expose the fakes and the imposters. However, being one shouldn't just be real to expose others. The point of being real is to aknowlegde and embrace who God amde us to be and by doing so (hopefully) there will become an arura about you that will help others to feel more relaxed and comfortable (by the love you have for God and them) and then maybe, just maybe they will remove their face coverings. Being real isn't easy because if it was. No one would be wearing a mask. Here's the funny thing, Jesus was real and we killed him for it.

P.S. Highly consider eading "Messy Spirituality" after I am done with Ron's copy here. I'll be done with it next week for youth group.

I believe that I know what you are referring to here, but I apologize if I misinterpret.

I was just thinking about this person yesterday, and it hurt so much I could hardly stand it. I think that the only thing we can do is pray--pray that God gives us wisdom and all of us minds that are open to his truth. I feel worse for her than for anyone around her, because she doesn't know what she's doing to herself.

We will have to continue this conversation elsewhere, because I hate being so vague...

yeah you know what its about. i was thinking some more about this and maybe, (its sad and doesn't seem quite right), but maybe it's not even a relationship to be fought for, maybe it is too far gone and all we can do is be "once dear friends." Maybe that is part of growing up and going our own directions...at least in this case...i don't know. We should go out for coffee on choir tour! I'M SO EXCITED FOR CHOIR TOUR!!!
