[__ Prayer __] and then there were none

i'll soon be 35. i got saved almost 7 years ago. i quickly lost 'friends,' which...honestly, they're good people, but they're weren't good (or real) 'friends,' so...its OK.

I had -1- friendly acquaintance left over from 'back then.' I'd known her since high school. and now...

she called one weekend, randomly. we talked for a good, long while. mostly about books, social stuff...good times. so...

i sent her a text, over 1 month ago. just 'hi, how are you?' kinda deal. 0 response. and I'm thinking...

yeah. then there were none. maybe its about time, anyway? i kind of think she stayed in touch out of pity....maybe feeling guilty, because i went crazy insane while we were 'friends,' and no one did anything....

but (over)analyzing doesn't accomplish anything, does it? maybe i'll hear from her. i kinda doubt it. kinda...sad. a dude contacted me...we used to get stoned together...

this was years ago. i quit talking to him once it dawned on me that he was the same, just...older. and i have been transformed, somewhat by 'schizophrenia,' but much more by Jesus. so i let it drop, that 'friendship.' maybe i shouldn't have?

im not sad or even...i dunno, im OK with this...maybe its better, the absolute -end- of what was, a sort of clean slate, socially? my long term friendly acquaintance is not local, btw.

ok. thanks.

It's better to have a few good friends (or even one) than having a bunch of lame friends,.. and you will always have a friend in Jesus. (and me)

thanks. and...you're correct, of course.

Hi, I will pray for you to meet new friends, hopefully mature Christians. I watch this one pastor on TV program (Lakewood Church maybe you heard of them) and he repeatedly had sermons on the fact that if someone walks out of your life, that means you don't need them, that they would just hinder your progress. It's difficult to lose a friend, trust me I know, but you are better off.
