Since today is my best friend's birthday, I thought it would be most appropriate to write about friendship. Friendship is something I have long been very interested in, especially since a very close friend of mine moved out of state to pursue a homosexual lifestyle, and has wanted nothing to do with me since. This makes me sad. We were good friends, and I loved her like a sister. I wish we could still be friends. I can only guess she didn't value a purely platonic friendship. In a statement about how Christians can minister to homosexuals, John Piper said that we Christians should help homosexuals to rediscover healthy, non-erotic friendships with people of the same sex. In my quest to see what good friendships look like for other people, I am reading Friendship for Grown-Ups by Lisa Whelchel. It is one of the best books on friendship I've read (and I've read quite a few!) Lisa's book tells of her heartbreaks and joys in friendships. I can tell from some of her writing that she's read some of the same friendship books I have. Me, reading the same book as a celebrity! A celebrity having some of the same problems and questions I have!
Happy Birthday to my best friend (who is not Lisa Whelchel)!

Thank you amiga!
I would love to say "Happy Birthday" in Spanish, but I have a new keyboard, and I don't know how to do an up-side down exclamation mark or a tilde, and you know I'm too much of a perfectionist not to do it right(ly).
