This last week I received a call from an "old" friend. 
See back in college I lived with 14 "young" men in a house by the UofM.  Most were in Campus Crusade for Christ.  (That story is a book not a blog).  What an awesome time that was.  I was born again and grew up as a Chrisitan in that house.   In the 2 1/2 years I lived there I met and shared HIS life with many young men.  As the years have past some have passed on, some became teachers, missionaries, pastors, scientist and recruiters.
The call I had last week came from a 605 # and I thought well South Dakota School of Mines, way out there.
It was Steve one of the guys who knew a fellow roommate from the house.  He had someone that needed advice on a job that he was recruiting for and heard I was in that industry.
Make a long story short.  It is amazing that being a friend who is united in Christ seems like it can be 5months, 5years, maybe 50years but it was like we had been hangin' out every Friday.  I told him about Cornstone and the Fast and how I was asking God to show me His Life and how I can do more for Him.   And you know it was just what I/we needed that day.  A word of encouragement from an "old Friend".
God IS Good
 
A foretaste of heaven, the grand reunion of all members of the Body.
