I met with Allen this morning for coffee and fellowship, where we talked about Christianity and the arts, crossover bands, the valley of death, and "The Sopranos." Come to think of it, we didn't bring up politics once - which only proves to me the irrelevance of party lines within friendships and fellowship.
I'm alone now, writing on a solitary table, my coffee, my watch, and my cell phone to the left of me. On my right is another table, completely vacant except for two straws, remnants of an earlier meeting between two other people who sacrificed their sleep for a dialogue. I missed three calls during my conversation with Allen, from three different people: a friend I talk to often but never see, a friend that I haven't talked to or seen in over a year, and my financial advisor (and no, that's no a veiled reference to my wife).
I am loved, and I am grateful for that. It's not that I feel validated or important, but sitting here now, alone, I realize that there are many that are lonely. I feel loved by my God, who has given me favor in the eyes of a few, who care enough to meet with me, or to call me, or to check in on my website. I'm not going to bust into song or click my heels in the air, but I wear that in my countenance. I am struck at the simple satisfaction that can come from sharing some of my time with others, and the small sacrifices they make to do the same.
Thank you. I hope that after visiting, you feel the same way.

Jesse,
Great catching up today at lunch. Glad that our schedules were able to line up so we could get together. I know its more my schedule (need/desire to workout at lunch) that makes it difficult to do lunch. Glad to hear that you are staying busy and enjoying the new gig. Until next time…
Nice.
It was a great start to my day. Thank you. Now, let’s see how many System Of A Down tracks I can find.
Hey guy, Sorry I missed you, hope you got my email. Lets hook up another time.
God has given you favor in the eyes of many, not few. You are special.
Yup and some “Moore” friends who think you are special and are praying…
C.
P.S.Keep writing!
