To
all my friends. Cut to the chase. The wolves are at the door. No
dress rehearsal necessary. The best way to know a person in my
opinion is to look at their roots, current and past. Get to know
their friends, acquaintances, family, extended family, and, yes,
those who may give bad reports. Never forget that one’s worst
enemy when faced with discernment can prove to be one's best friend.
Of
course it helps to understand that friends who answer will speak
candidly from the heart. Be not concerned whatever about craven
cowardice or sullied interests.
Intimate
friends have integrity made of carbonite steel. Proceed confidently
into that good night.
One
should not be afraid and never walk on eggs. Ask the hardest
questions imaginable—those certain to destroy all hope if answered
in abysmal ways. Recognize that all are in and will do the will of
God.
Above
all, have fun. We are in for quite a ride. It is a serious mistake
to believe that God does not love laughter….and joyful tears.
