Old friends…

Despite being frenetically busy with school (tests, projects, homework, doom, gloom, etc), I was recently able to connect with a few old friends who I rarely see.

Really, really good times–encouraging, yet at the same time a deeper sense of affection that is only built through time.

Reminded me of the value of relationships; recently I heard a quote on the radio: “Relationships take priority over riches; people are more valuable than accomplishments.” While there is a balance here–accomplishments and riches do have value–it was an excellent reminder to me that sometimes hanging out with a friend is worth sacrificing a letter grade or opportunity to work.

BJ, Emily, and others… thanks for being my friends and making the effort to connect.

    Jeff,

    Good thoughts. Seeing the value in catching up with old friends, I have been using some of my free summer hours to do just that. It was nice to talk with you the other evening and see what’s going on in your life.

    Great blog! It’s really lookin’ good, and I appreciate what you say you intend to do with it..and not do. Know I’ll be keeping up-to-date here AMAP.

    God bless,

    Stephen
