Friends

Last night my wife and I were able to spend some time with some friends we don't see near as much as we would like. I have to admit that when they arrived to pick us up I became a little giddy. A night out with friends for a good meal and some fun...without the kids. Woohoo! After we got home it hit me that we often use the excuse that life is too busy to do these kind of things but I think that is one of our biggest problems in America: we are too busy and we don't make the time for the things that are really important like family, friends, our relationship with Jesus Christ. I have spent a lot of time in 13 other countries throughout the world and one thing I noticed is that although life is often times much more difficult than it is here in the U.S. it is more simple and they make time for what truly matters.
