Erased Memories

Yesterday my friend Chris went in to get his wisdom teeth pulled. The doctors overdosed his medications and he had a reaction to the drugs resulting in some memory loss. This letter is to Chris to remind him of the work that God has done in our lives.

Chris,
Remember the day's of our youth? We were rival enemies! Then we got older and realized how trivial our disagreements were and we agreed that we could still be friends and disagree...

Remember how we stayed in the same cabin both years at the Wilds? We had a great time together and learned so much from the services! Remember the van ride home? We spent 10 hours filling our minds and encouraging one-another with the One who loves us more than we could ever love Him!

We served together in the church...
We sang together... played guitar together...
We cried together... we laughed together...
We fought eachother... we forgave eachother...
We played football and gamecube together...
We planned our futures together...

Chris, if the memories we shared together are forever lost, we must not feel sorrow for what we have lost... we serve a God who want what is best for us and does not let anything happen to us with out first making sure it is best for us...

I say...

LET'S MAKE SOME NEW MEMORIES!

I love you and I'm praying for you man!

In Christ,
John
