This Leopardess pauses for a moment to look directly at us. With her cub nearby, I'm sure she is interested to know if we are friend or foe.
He and his wife just got these two beautiful new puppies. They each gave one dog a name. I think she named her puppy Lloyd Dobbler. I can't remember what he named his puppy. Something clever — but it was a reference I didn't catch.
This is Jeff at 16 (I think), the best friend I ever had. I've known him since we were 12 (he's 4 days older than me, I thought that was so cool.) He was the sweetest, most caring person I'd ever known, and was there for me when I was otherwise completely alone. He was also the coolest guy I knew; a surfer, artist, poet, and just awesome person.
Jeff, I hope you see this and know how much your friendship meant to me. Please get in touch with me and let me know how you are! It's been so long...
While taking an afternoon nap in the tent, doggie wakes up and pops his head out. What he sees puzzles him. Friend or foe?
The Friend Factor
Do not be misled:
“Bad company corrupts good character.” ~1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)
Your close friends are some of the most important predictors of how successful you will be in life and in marriage. The Scripture from 1 Corinthians is a caution against being deceived by the lie that you can keep bad company and not be negatively affected.
At the University of Chicago, researchers found that couples who stayed together through adversity had friends who wanted them to stay together and had a low opinion of divorce. This proves what the Bible says. It also proves another point that might surprise many people—divorce runs in groups. So do adultery, drug and alcohol abuse, and many other behaviors.
The old saying, “misery loves company” is unfortunately true. It is common for divorce to break out in an office, company, neighborhood, family, or sometimes even in a church group. All it takes is one person going through a divorce and becoming bitter at a husband or wife. This person will look for someone to provide consolation and companionship. If you have a seed of discontent in your marriage, the next thing you know this person will be trying to build an offense between you and your spouse.
To succeed in marriage, you need friends who share your values and are committed to their marriages. There are no such things as perfect friends, even if they are very godly people you meet in church. However, perfection isn’t the issue. The issue is that you have a support group around you encouraging you to do the right thing as you also encourage them.
The last thing you need when you are going through tough times in marriage is someone encouraging you to do the wrong thing. You need wise counsel and prayer from a person of faith and character. Karen and I are blessed with good, godly friends. They have stood with each other through many years of mountaintops and valleys of life.
Don’t be deceived; bad company will corrupt your morals and your marriage. Break off unhealthy relationships and work to create healthy ones. The best place I know of to meet good friends is in a Bible-based church. The people there aren’t perfect any more than you are, but they are people who share your values and will be an essential support base for a successful marriage.
Talk It Out | Honestly evaluate your friendships and speak up about any concerns you have. If you identify that some of your friendships aren’t healthy for your marriage, make a commitment to seek out the kind of friends who share your values.
Walk It Out | Invite another couple over for dinner or go out to a movie together. Spend time cultivating friendships that have a positive effect on your marriage. God bless

A better friend was never had. BearCat was loved by all that met him. He was a unique and loving cat. Our lives were better for him being with us. He will be greatly missed. We love and miss you Bear baby!
Our dear sweet BearCat crossed the bridge today. He was my youngest son's best buddy and was dearly loved by my whole family. Bear has been with us since he was just 8 weeks old. He was more like a dog than a cat. He followed you around and stayed by your side. You could hold him like a baby on his back for as long as you wanted. He never tired of being with his people. He would let you know when it was bed time and would get mad if you ignored him. He was a gentle loving boy.
My son moved to Richmond in July and Bear went to live with him. Today my son called me in tears because he knew it was time to say goodbye to Bear. He drove him the 90 something miles to bring him home. We went to the Vet and Donald bravely passed him to the tech. The tech took him to the back to have the IV put in his old leg. As soon as the tech left the room Bear drew his last breath. The Vet came in devastated that Bear had passed without us being with him but my son was convinced that Bear had held on for him. He felt Bear crossed the bridge on his own terms. My son stood stoic while they put Bear in the box and then cried like a baby once we were in the car.
We brought Bear home with us and my son bravely dug a 3 foot hole and gave Bear the decent burial he deserved. He wanted him to be buried at the home he had spent his life in. My son grew up a lot today. He opened the box one last time before he laid Bear to rest. He gave his old buddy a kiss on the head. Then he said to me that something that is dead is not gross when you love them. May Bear rest in peace free from the pain of his old age.
