I have a very bad habit of reading text messages and answering calls while I'm asleep. When I awake, I often don't remember the conversations or lack of that were had. It can be frustrating be. There's a biblical proverb that says, A man that has friends must show himself friendly (Proverbs 18:24).
I have a small group of people that I consider to be my friends. Some I've known since before elementary school. Others, I gained over the years through various jobs or social activities. I try my best to keep in touch and with technological advances such as Facebook, Twitter, mobile email and the like, it should not be that hard, right? Not exactly. There's something to be said about picking up the phone to call or having lunch with a friend. It strengthens the bond of friendships the way Twitter, Facebook, and emails cannot.
With that said, to my circle of friends, I will try to better with the calling, lunch dates, etc. I know we're all busy and it's so easy to get caught up in our own little worlds- work, family, church, volunteerism and the like- but we need friends and so we must remain friendly. Okay...back to busyness! Have a good one!
