Friendship
As I approach my last days in Muncie, I think about how the Lord has brought people in my life that have brought me joy along the journey.
A wise man named Aristotle categorized three types of friends. 1) friendships based on utility- like coworkers or business partners 2) friendships based on pleasure- like friends we enjoy partying with. 3) friends based on admiration for an others good character. The third friendships are more fulfilling, but rare. Such friends may be transitional-sharing the road we transverse for a period of time while making life's journey joyful. At times such friends may become written on our hearts. As sad as I am go see our paths diverge, I know that God will introduce me to new people on my journey.
