Thank You For Being a Friend (Graces and Mercies, Tom)

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity
- Proverbs 17:17

We're getting a big blessing this weekend. One of my best friends and his lovely wife are visiting from Columbia, Missouri. Paul and I met (if my dim memory serves me) in preschool, and we have been friends ever since. Through grade school, junior high and high school, we saw each other daily, and at least once or twice a week through college. I moved to Minneapolis in 1993; Paul and I have made occasional attempts to catch up with one another since then, but this is a rare opportunity to really see what the past 15 years have done to each other.

That, and play some of the video games that we used to play in college, like Blades of Steel and Super Dodge-Ball...
