Let me say, that over the last 6 months or so, I have met some pretty cool people.  Not at the grocery store, not at a bar, not even at my church.  But right here online.  I was talking to Andrea about it last night, and I was telling her how amazing I thought it was.  I have met people who I really connect with.  People who really care and really share the same ideas as me. (For the most part…. hehe)  We can agree on a lot of things and for the ones we can’t, we can agree to disagree.

Right now, I’m just amped that I have a group of people who will hold me accountable.  Ask me serious questions about my relationship with Jesus Christ, and pray for me.  A group of people who can come to me and share their troubles and can ask me to pray for them, and a group of people who love God and love people as much as I try to.  The best part, a group of people who are broken, rough, people who don’t have all the answers, but live every day trying to better themselves.

It’s great.  I have a brotherhood.

It’s pretty insane.  So, anyway, today, I wanna say thank you guys.  It’s been a crazy bumpy road since we have all met, and you have all offered advice, prayers, and just… support.  It means a lot.  So… here’s to my ‘internet friends’.

    Internet friends can be a great thing. I can't begin to describe the impact that people I am friends with online have had on me. Not everyone can make friends online or bridge and distance gap with a bonding friendship. It really is cool to do so.

    I'm glad you're an internet friend as well as a “in real life” friend :)
