Boys

I was talking to my little brother the other day, which is strange for me. Yeah we played when we were little, but I became a middle schooler I didn't want to associate with him, and when he became a high schooler he didn't want to associate with me. I used to savor the days when he woke up late for school and I had to drive him, because then he had to talk to me a let me know what was going on.
The other night he walked into my room for no reason and we talked. Really talked for an hour. It was awesome. I got my first real glimpse of the man he is turning into. I just wished he had a better relationship with God.

Last night after the services I got a chance to talk with two of the guys that I see all the time at church, but never really get to talk to, but want to. It was really nice to get to know them who they were, and how they were feeling about the way the church was headed.

Then today I spent about 4 hours with 5 guys. I consider one to one of my closest guy friends, and 2 to be part of our family, and the 4 a family member of the first. (were you able to follow that??)

I really don't spend all that much time with our guys, and it really made me appreciate the boys in my life even more. Before I just saw them as regular members of my church family, but now I feel like I can look to them as real brothers, especially since the relationship between me and my brother has gotten so much better in the past few weeks.

And that is my Easter miracle.
