It's becoming more and more clear to me the treasure that true friendship is. I don't mean those friendships where you merely go bowling and laugh all the time, although those are good. I'm talking about true friendships; the kind that challenge you and encourage you. I have been fortunate to make several friendships like that and last weekend was able to spend time enjoying them. It didn't hurt that I got to spend time with my friends listening to The David Crowder Band, Jeremy Camp, John Reuben, and tobymac either. However, I have found that it really doesn't matter where, when or how I get to spend time with my friends. It is a blessing to me simply to be around them. So, to Erin.....thank you for challenging me to grow and encouraging me to be me. My life is better because you're in it. Thanks for keeping it real.
And to Sarah....thank you for always being there for me and showing me what friendship means. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you! And oh yeah....thanks to Matty Lee for loving my girl the way that you do and giving me hope that there are a few good ones left out there (Write that book!). I love you guys!

For those of you....

Today, while I was driving in my car, I heard an interesting new development in the world that continues to make excuses for poor behavior.

For those of you who have ever been cut off in traffic and almost immediately began shouting profanities at someone who couldn't even hear you - this is for you.

For those of you who raise your voice and slam on the gas pedal when you are forced to strategically maneuver around someone driving ten miles under the speed limit - this is for you.

Sleep easy tonite knowing that these behaviors are no longer considered merely to be "road rage". They have now been officially labeled and you have been diagnosed.

May your suffering be minimal as you are forced to live with your, and I quote,
"Intermittent Rage Disorder"
