To My Special Friends
I can’t give solutions to all of life’s problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen, and together we can pray and search for answers.
I can’t change the past with all its heartaches and pain, or the future with its untold stories. But I can be there when you need me to care.
I can’t keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, or to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.
I can’t prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can’t give you boundaries which I have determined for you, but I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.
I can’t keep your heart from breaking and hurting, but I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can’t tell you who you are. I can only love you and be your friend.
Thank you, for being a special friend. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Enjoy your time with friends and family.

Friends
When I think of the holidays—I think of the few friends that has been there over the years. There is nothing like friends who can respect the change in others. I thank God for my true friends. Even though we’ve changed and we’re finding our own place in the world, we know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we’ll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we’re not all still friends. ~KP
Fleecing The Flock XI
Many of the sheep that presume that they walk on highlands become arrogant and continually look down on the sheep of God who they believe stayed in the lower pastures. They also refuse to believe that sheep in these lower pastures can have Spirit without the evidence of “unknown baaing” even though they themselves eat the fruit of the huge orchards grown in these pastures.
Fleecing The Flock X
Some wolves in sheep’s clothing teach the sheep that God is required to give them a hundred-fold increase for any wool that is sent to them. They are told they can even pledge future hair cuts and get the same hundred-fold blessing. These gullible sheep can be found kneeling in front of old TV’s at the local dump to establish a point of contact so these wolves can reach out and cut the wool off their backs.
