I've always felt that true friends are the ones that tell you the truth, not what you want to hear. JMHO.
AMEN RUE...AAaaaaaaaaMEN!!!

I agree.
"Faithful are the wounds of a friend ..." Proverbs 27:6
LaRue, you are wise to acknowledge and share this with others who might benefit from it.
You're right, we don't need a cheering section when we do something wrong. We need a "friend" to tell us not to do it, or to stop doing it. It should to be done in the proper way of course, but nonetheless like b3wannab said, "true friends tell you the truth ..."
God bless you LaRue, and thank you for sharing ... :) BroAllan
Very good stuff LaRue. Someone once told me that the friends you make in college will be your best. That's actually true in my case. One of the things I appreciate the most about my association with these cats is that we're not afraid to let each other know when something isn't right. In fact, when we heard the words, "You're my boy, so I gotta tell ya...." we knew some form of correction was on the way.
It's really easy to hang with folks who tell you what you want to hear all the time, but it's essential to hang with folks who tell you what you need to hear.

Amazingly, I actually did read the whole thing. I can't believe it myself!
By the way, the royalty check should be sent to my address of record. Thanks. :D
COSIGN. BTW, reminds me of the convo we had on my wedding day, remember? ;) :)Oh great....*brushing through the cobwebs*...Not yet...getting there.

Think, before the ceremony.
Think, before the ceremony.You and LaRue both know I have a selectively good memory. :D Was this in the dressing/conference room? Was it on the phone? Funny, my visual image of the day is great. Still working on retrieving the audio. lol

Ummm... I bet you could get your answer quicker if you just call/PM/IM him. :-\That's a nice way of saying, "Stop hijacking my thread!!!" Sorry, sis. No jacking intended.
That way **lightbulb flickers on** we could get back to the subject at hand.... ;D

Thanks for reporting back to us. We were all anxious to find out whether you'd remember. Now that we know, we can exhale.I knew you were waiting with bated breath. Glad I could come through for you. Now, back to our recently (though unintentionally) hijacked thread.
Now... after Jonathan responds to your comment, any chance that can be the end of that?
to be 26 you sure spoke truth and wisdom. ;)I hear she's 27 now. Maybe that extra year brought extra insight.

This is confirmation for me! Thanks sis! Be blessed!
That's because I make a point of spending time with the seasoned saints... those old time mothers whose lips have never tasted alcohol or gossip, whose fingers have never touched tobacco or playing cards.... lol. :D
you are truly old school apostolic! now wave your hankerchief (sp) and shout glory! ;D
