cronies

crony: a close friend, especially of long standing

for some reason, i have been really thinking about my cronies. those people in my life that have been long standing friends and faithful comrades. i think about all the laughter, fun, discussion, roadtrips, music, and everything else that has been contained in this blog that i have mentioned. these ponderings are most likely not about my thoughts but about the people who elicit them. to all my cronies near and far, just know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. whether you are in AK, sitting in your apartment alone, or you are in TX with a wife and 1.5 kids, or maybe you are in Chicago, learning about marriage and seminary, in Winona Lake, putting your wife through school as you learn your dreams, in the ATL, dirtying up some dancing and youth ministry, in charlotte, starting a life with your new wife, in Hartford, trying to overcome the trials of life, in DC, praying and seeking, or maybe you are in Lynchburg, finishing your master's thesis, beginning a new dating relationship, learning where God is about to take you and the integrity you will need to make it,  trying to get into med school, newly married ready to graduate into missions, flying around drinking too much coffee, about to start a journey into non-college life after years of delay, newly engaged, or you have committed to a group of people to enjoy TV, food, and conversation about every topic imaginable. cronies, i love you all, near or far. you're always on my mind.
