Community is good

Last Friday night Beth and I left the hospital realizing how good it is to be among friends who care for another. It was the third night in a row we’d been at CMC with other close friends praying over Wade and Ferris’ little girls, Liana and Adleigh. That night we also celebrated the birth of a monster baby (10.2 lbs), affectionately named Evan, to some of our closest friends, Eric and Nicole. They were right down the hall from each other, so around 12 of us shifted back and forth between their rooms, the cafe, and the hallway where we peered in at Evan Almighty.

I felt great. Life felt right. It made sense.

I heard old high school stories from my favorite storyteller. I laughed at witty Asian humor. I congratulated friends. I prayed more with friends. Hey, I even got 2 hotdogs for $2 on a Friday night special. What could be better?

What do you enjoy about your friends? Let us know.
