Dear Laz:
I can promise you that you are not the only one suffering loss with regards to relationships and just about everything else going on in this sad, sick, and depraved world.
Sometimes God gets rid of people in our lives for various reasons. I had to finally disavow of one of my 30 year friendships because the friend I once knew and loved refused to drop his 20 year old mentality when it came to life.
You have a lot of friends here - including me, even though we don’t converse much.
Jesus is a great divider of people. You either believe who He is or you don’t.
For those who love Him, we’re going to look back on this life as a minor inconvenience. And you’ll have friends who treat you better than family 100 times over who will truly love you - FOREVER!!
God Bless You FRIEND! And Happy New Year!
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
“20 year old mentality” - I had the same thing happen. A liberal friend, never married, never had kids, barely worked, etc. - has the same level of maturity from 30 years ago and still believes he knows better on everything and became rude about it too.
Fine, bye. I have too much going on in my life to deal with such nonsense.
