clowns

Went on a hike with a buddy today on a fine afternoon - not too hot, not too cold. I wasn't feeling that well, but that rarely stops me. It's funny when it's just the two of us hiking because he's a "hiker" and I'm a "stop and smell the roses." We had a great time just walking and talking. He shared some of his thoughts and concerns about praying with his wife, and again I was proud of him. THAT'S intimacy. This is why I don't even pray with a girlfriend until things are well established. It's an intimate step. Our culture has really done a number on the concept of intimacy. I'm quite proud and take great joy to be in a position to encourage and challenge my brothers in learning life's lessons.

I must also admit that I happily wasted a significant amount of time watching Scrubs clips on youtube. One after another. I don't understand how people can even BE that funny. I love it. Be careful, they'll get ya.

J.D.: Look, Elliot, I don't want to jinx this, but, how did that just happen?
Elliot: You were a clown for me. You were there when I needed you without me even having to ask.

Looking forward to sleep.
