Of course you were to young to tell him how much your friendship with him meant, but your actions no doubt spoke louder than words and gave him acceptance as well.

I had Catholic friends who stopped before the end of the Lords Prayer, and a few non Christian friends...how hard things were for them..and those of us that friended them. I'm troubled everytime I read on blogs or facebook that we must "get back" to values and recite the pledge every morning in school. And love it or leave it. Narrow minded people. Perhaps you could find your friend through facebook or doing some research on the net.<br /><br />Before the day is out, I might get around to adding another blog to the challenge...but don't know. Just learned how to do the hyper link I asked you about on one of your other blogs.<br /><br /><a href="http://homelessbridge.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">mycharityblog</a>Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-64975262570293234742013-04-01T08:40:14.979-07:002013-04-01T08:40:14.979-07:00Powerful post, Lee.
