A friend is a possession we earn, not a gift.....The Lord has declared that those who serve him and keep his commandments are called his servants.

His friends are the ones he will take into his kingdom and with whom he will associate in an eternal inheritance.

My generation was secretive, brooding, ambitious, show-offy, and this generation is congenial. Totally. I imagine them walking around with GPS chips that notify them when a friend is in the vicinity, and their GPSes guide them to each other in clipped electronic lady voices and they sit down side by side in a coffee shop and text-message each other while checking their e-mail and hopping and skipping around Facebook to see who has posted pictures of their weekend.

If you truly care for them, then you want them to be who they are; that was why you liked them in the first place.
