I spent happy hour at Carlos O'Kelly's with a couple of longtime Christian friends, Mark and Iliana, tonight. We shared a couple drinks, appetizers, the US World Cup soccer win over Ghana and Christian fellowship.
They are the most openly comfortable Christian friends I have outside of my Bible study group.
In fact, Mark is perhaps the most fervent Christian I know - I admire his emotional ties to the Lord and his ways. He was one of the first people to tell me while I was depressed and searching for answers that this world is not our real home - heaven is - and that's why it can be tough living here at times for Christians.
And Iliana is one of the kindest people I've ever known, though she also can be quite the emotional spokesperson for God and his ways.
Kris missed this gathering as she was just getting back from her trip to Omaha. But Mark and Iliana are going to visit us tomorrow and it should be another nice get-together.
Praise the Lord for good friends!
