The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

I know you won't mind me asking but could you send out a prayer request for a child. I came across it just a few minutes ago & I must ask those of my bloger buddies to sing in.
Thanks & bless yall

Paige, deepest prayers for that child. You never have to ask...just give me your prayer requests... :)
lol
Classic move...however very innovative and thus showing intelligence after all...as far as this on and off again friendship goes...this has to be emotionally exhausting you.
Daydreamer - it is. For her too, but then she's had then entire church blackballing her [for no good reason] so I can understand some of her actions. Guess who they're ignoring now that she's gone??? me.
And all I've done is refuse to give up on a friendship because I know that is what Jesus would do for me.
BTW, I don't think your brother was strange to do that--just pragmatic. He wanted the jeans and a stapler was handy.
