A very special thanksgiving
Thirty years ago tonight, shortly after midnight, I met someone who turned out to be my very best friend. I will be joining him at a party tonight in about one hour.
I just want to say a special thanks to God. I am very blessed.
The views expressed on this blog are solely those of the blogger and do not represent the positions of any group or organization with which he may be affiliated. As one who spent decades stuffing down his opinions and emotions, I am inclined to cut loose here, which I believe is healthy, honest, and part of the process of sanctification in the long run. Politics and spirituality mingle freely here, along with theatre reviews, photography, and passionate talk about food, literature, and the human journey. If anything written here offends you, please find other blogs to read. I am here to share, not to do battle.

As we are, to know you.
It is so neat to have a friend for 30 years.
That's a really sweet picture, too. There's a lot of love in it.
I didn't notice it right off because the overlay darkens the image, and because I was so taken by your words.
Happy New Year, friend and brother.
K, thanks.
D, yes. 30 years ago he didn't give me his phone number. Tonight he did. LOL
What a lovely post! To have a friend for 30 years is a treasure. I feel that way about my husband, although for about 24 of them we were apart!
Happy 2008 to you!
How grateful I am to make your acquaintance through this crazy blogoverse!
Peace and good things, blessings in abundance!
Mazel Tov. Here's to thirty more! Happy New Year, darlin'.
Paul, you are blessed. My best friends are my oldest friends. Except for y'all, of course.
