Rain falls outside while inside this cozy apartment the gurgle of a coffee pot attempts without success to drown out the distant rolls of thunder.
I have to work tonight as well as tomorrow night, but perhaps monday I will be able to see a good friend. Who knows?
Friends. My heart aches for my friends. Some are hurting badly right now with loss of house, loss of jobs, even loss of trust. Some friends are hurting and they do not know it. Truly Soren Kirkegaard says that true despair drives us closer to God, yet most people do not know that they are in despair.
The loss of friends still hurts even now. Goodbye and God be with them. I pray His mercies on them and His grace for they are misguided. Some think they follow Him when in reality they follow a shadow puppet the world has set up. Similar to, yet not quite God. They pray in church, they sing in church, they witness, they read their Bible, yet the god they worship is not my God. The god they follow is one of ascetisism and 'cheap grace'. The god they follow says they are cleaned of all unrighteousness, therefore go and live well. My God says "My blood has cleansed you of all unrighteousness, therefore go and live through my strength for yours is not enough." They worship the cross while I worship the God who deigned to give us the cross.
I miss some friends who have moved on. God is with you, and I will see you again someday when my purpose here is finished.
I had some who I thought were good friends and I had some who were friends that I didnt think of that way. I wish you well. Maybe someday we will cross paths.
I guess the rain makes me moody. I better go prep for work tonight.
