last night i found out that an old, great friend of mine passed away. it was a sudden thing.
all i can think about is that our last encounter together wasn't a positive one as it ended in a bitter argument in which i allowed my pride to come between us and divide us to the point where we have not talked in over a year.
i'm trying my hardest to pretend to be anything but devastated. i'm pretty terrible at that.
if you want to memorize the face of regret, do what i did: insist on having only your way in relationships that really matter; alienate those who love you most and defy their attempts at reconciliation until they admit their fault....don't seek reconciliation and forgiveness until they come begging for it so you can prove to them that they were in the wrong. insist on your way.
in other words, do the opposite of Philippians Chapter 2.
missing my friend, hating my pride,
bryce

Thinking of you in your sorrow Bryce, this is a hard thing. I pray that the LORD would sustain you and give you His Peace in the midst of this suffering.
These are the times when I am so Thankful for the Mercy of our Lord and I know what it is like to throw myself at His feet in great need. He loves you Bryce and knows your sorrow today, He knew it even before He created you. His love and mercy overflowed to you already then. I will pray for you dear brother.
But he said to me,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9
In Christ's Love,
