Here lately I've been going through this sort of Spiritual reformation that started with a dream. I had a long talk last night with a very good friend and I'm more amazed than I've ever been. You have to understand that
almost every single male I've ever met has been a total 100% piece of shit, and nowhere in their lives have I ever noticed any true hint of spirituality. So last night's conversation came as a bit of a shock to me. Leslie and I talked for hours about God, Spirituality, Dreams, Church and the like. It felt so great to talk to him about that. One of the things I value most about our friendship is the fact that we can talk for hours about anything, so to be able to talk to him about this without him passing judgement like SO many others do was such a relief. I don't like to talk about religion with anyone but my parents because even those closest to you have the tendency to judge your beliefs even when they know better. I'm of the personal opinion that no one should push their beliefs on me and I in turn will not push mine on them. When someone does that its one of the biggest turnoffs to religion I know. Since Leslie's going through such a hard time right now I've felt such a need to be there for him in any way I can. When things get tough the only thing you can do is ask God to scoop you up and trust that he will do what's right for you. He's been going to church with his sister in Mississippi the past few weeks and he brought back some tapes he's going copy for me. Spiritual friendships are such a blessing.
