Late Post With a Good Excuse

Tonight was pretty awesome. I got to visit with friends I haven’t seen in a while. We got caught up on lots of news and family life that we’d missed over the months that our busy lives kept us from getting together.

These are women I’ve known since our children were babies. We met at church and started a bible study group. It’s been over 17 years and we’re still managing to get together socially at least six times a year.

I am thankful for their friendship and support, their prayers and advice, their laughter and their tears. I am blessed to have friends who accept me for who I am, how I am, and the way I worship, and all of that is done without judgment. They are true Christians in my book, and I’m so glad to count them as my friends.

And they get to count an honest-to-Goddess lesbian Pagan as one of theirs!

  1. Being in the company of women should be a must for all women. I have two friends I have known since the third grade. When I see them and go home, I always feel like I'm renewed. Good for you ladies for keeping your priorities straight when "life" can get in the way and offer excuses.

  2. I'm really pleased you have these women to support you, Karen. And really, they are lucky to have you in their lives. It's a win-win situation!
