Here I am in Southern California. I am teaching at Vanguard University this week. It has been fun meeting students and talking with new friends. My best friend, Darlene is back at home. I miss her. We have been best friends for almost forty years. That probably seems like a long time to you. We like to hold hands while watching movies and walk in the neighborhood together.
Darlene always seems to make me smile. She is loyal and kind and above all, loves Jesus with all of her heart. The Bible talks about friends. In one place it says that bad company corrupts good character. The friends you hang out with can challenge you to love God more or can drive you away from God. It is for this reason, you must choose your friends wisely. Spend time with people who will encourage you to live for God and do what is right.
My friend, Darlene is one of those people. She reads her Bible every day and loves to pray with me and for me. I am a better person and closer to God because of her friendship.
I must go now. It is raining and I am going to lunch. I'll be looking for a table of Jesus-loving people to share my lunch hour. Then in a couple of days, I will be back at home with my best friend, Darlene. Oh, did I mention she is also my wife?
Thanks for being such a great example of a godly couple and an Honorable Husband! I love you, Dad!
