My kind of friends - written June 24, 2010 revised August 6, 2014

I love good people.  I love sweet, loving words spoken around me, as well as to me. I love to see folks who are happy and in a good mood.  I enjoy clean living and find joy in everyday things.  Don't expect ulterior motives or unspoken meanings, that's not part of who I am.  All my cards are on the table, with you, them, and myself: I am what I am. 

I hurt when someone I love is hurting, and even though I may be horribly inadequate, I try my best to  make it better. 

I love to be included and I would never exclude anyone else. I love to be loved, and I would never shun anyone else. 

I don't require you to be really smart or rich, the popular person, or the pretty girl, in order to be in my circle of friends.  You can have a big wart on your nose, poor clothes, a speech impediment and an I.Q. of 70 and we can still be friends, for I"m not perfect either!

I don't try to control everything and everyone around me.  I haven't learned yet to fully control my own tongue and carnal thinking but that is all that I try to control. 

My circle of friends are those that love the Lord and wear this temporal life loosely.   We're not enraged at politics.  We cast our vote for a kingdom that is not of this world.  We don't get caught up in fashions and fads.  We consider a person's spirit and disposition to be the most important thing they can wear.  And we don't care what type of job you have, great or small, it's just a means to an end. 

So give me the cheesy jokes & a heart of good intentions & I'll laugh heartily with love and affection built right in!   We'll talk, and laugh and have a wonderful time, just because  we are God's children, I love you, & I love to laugh.
