A new friend

Well, this weekend, I had a new friend, Raelene, come over and just hang out. I think that it's the first time I've had a friend over in quite some time, Probably since Amanda came to town. I must admit that we get along great. She runs the book club in our ward. She and her husband just had their first baby and he's going to school in Claremont, getting his masters and PHD at the same time in Political Science. Infact, I was thinking after she left that it would be so much fun to introduce her to the gang. And then it hit me--so many of you have moved away and she won't have that opportunity. BOO! You know, it really is a rarity that we were all here together for the period of time we were. And so, my conclusion. . . The Lord puts us together in seasons of our lives. We have the chance to form bonds of friendship. We take it or leave it. And if we take it, those bonds can benefit us infinately.
