Poem by Chris Bunton
What is a friend to me?
Well it’s none of those
SOB’s
If you know what I mean.
A friend invites me places,
They want me to come.
Not as a charity.
But, because they enjoy me.
A friend doesn’t,
tell me what to do.
They don’t play stupid,
Tough love games.
My friends mind,
Their own business.
And I mind my own.
They don’t cross lines.
My friends laugh,
When I’m inappropriate.
They don’t call me out,
And I don’t call them out.
I don’t have to lie,
To my real friends.
They never ask,
And can handle the truth.
In case you wondered,
I don’t have many friends.
I toss them away
When they cross me.
And they always cross me.

The Burden Of Prayer
Sometimes we have a burden I’m not a very good Christian. I’m just not. If you followed me around everyday with a camera. You’d be like, “What’s wrong with this guy?” God saves us despite our sinfulness. He works to change us. Trust me. I’m better than I used to be. I say this because…
