Friends or Folly?



  • All of my friends and I are crazy.Thats what keeps us sane! (unknown)

  • Beauty and folly are old companions. ~ Benjamin Franklin

  • "Silly is you in a natural state, and serious is something you have to do until you can get silly again.” Mike Meyers quotes

  • Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.~ Fr. Jerome Cummings

  • “The key to a good relationship is the key. Give me back the key.” Ronnie Edwards

  • "Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen." Rainer Maria Rilke

  • “Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.” unknown author
What do you think?  Are you crazy for having friends or just crazy with your friends?

Either way, there is a price for friendships that none of us know when we begin. I choose to continue to find comfort in the things I don't know and enjoy the friends that make me laugh and cry. But I must tell you that I am more comforted by friends who look you square in the face and tell you want they think the truth is no matter how ugly, then cry with you and sit with you while you think of a way to move forward. Those are the kind of friends I would like to think Paul and Silas were to each other. (From the New Testament) As Paul and Peter were clearly when Paul interrupted a sermon to lovingly point out the inaccuracy in what Peter had begun teaching. The two (I believe) had a choice....errupt in a fist fight, or remember who they both loved and why they were friends fighting the same cause.

For whatever pain my friend, you may cause to me, be decent enough to stick around and see me through it and you will be the one I learn the most from.
