Isn't it funny how life works. I mean you think you know someone, but you really don't. That is the way I feel sometimes. Even though I think I know someone the truth is I don't and then when I find out the truth it hits me like a brick thrown from a two story window. Actually the reason this came to mind was that yesterday we had Vespers (for all who don't know it is like a skit or play with music that is put on during some Sunday afternoons at BJU). It was about a girl who just wanted to give up. She at first thought her like was like Jobs and the Eudices, but she realized she was wrong on both accounts. Her life was more like the good Samaritan. She looked at her three friends in a new light realizing that one acted spiritual but in reality was just putting on a front. Her second friend she realized was as a fair weather friend, only there when good things were happening. Then her third friend came and told her exactly what she needed to hear. He was like the good Samaritan. The challenge at the end was which of these three friends are you. That really made me think you know sometimes I am like the "spiritual" person and sometimes I am that fair-weather friend, but I need to be more like the good Samaritan. It is not enough to say it but you actually have to go through with it. I don't know these are just a few thoughts I had from yesterday. Maybe it will make us all think what kind of friends we truly are.
