Learning to enjoy people's presence more, not just the talking. Think God also wants me to learn this truth - to be still and know that He is God... He will be exalted in the heavens and the earth.

And yet, there's this joy of being able to laugh so much about something so seemingly banal and mundane - a secret shared between two friends, like how we laugh about silly posters... and silly timings and silly jokes and silly quarrels.

Shared experiences. Lord, aren't these experiences dear and so sweet? Gold dust in a flowing stream. Honey found in the rock. Precious moments from the dim recesses of memory.
