Hey there! I thought that was a really cute post you put on face book. While I was there I looked at your face book friends list. How is it that you have so many? Why in the world would that one be your friend? Do you really even know them or is it like “just join the band wagon”? Those are some of the weirdest pictures. Why does that one guy have three different pages with his picture on them?
Anyway, I thought I might get some insight into the kind of person you are by knowing the people you hang with. You know, who you are friends with kind of tells what kind of friend you are. Like Jesus was always hanging around the temple and talking to religious people so you would know he loved religion. But then you read where he spent a lot more time with the bad apples of the barrel. So what does that make him? Anyway, let me help you out because I know a lot about some of these people.
Are you KIDDING me? Do you know what she said about you? And you still have her as a friend? How can you say such sweet things about her? I can tell you really need some help here. So how about if I offer you a little advice seeing as how I hear things which you don’t? (I have my sources…) So I listed out a few by number to make it easier to talk about them.
You don’t want #3 because they don’t live in the right neighborhood; #4 has that strange skin thing, you don’t want to take a chance on getting near that; #7 is not the kind of women a lady would want her husband hanging around; and oh yeah I almost forgot, #5 goes to that weird bar. Then there is that crippled up #9; and don’t you know #1 needs to be avoided, after all she is dying; #12 is just after your money; #13 is always talking about hungry folks but never seems to have any food either; #13 is just plain bad luck, I know he’s cute and all but stay away; #21 is two faced, they don’t want anyone else to know you know them; oh and watch out for #17 he will stab you in the back in a heartbeat. Where was I? Oh yeah, #15 has no idea how to handle her money; and I almost forgot #8 visited those criminals; #19 doesn’t even own their home; #22 has been in the psycho ward; #23 is always telling stories that aren’t quite real if you know what I mean; #25 is always asking for prayers for her “missions” trips, yeah right, who would go somewhere with so little to just benefit others without getting something for themselves? And I could go on and on and on.
Listen, I know what is best for you. You need to follow a good example. Yes I am talking about like Jesus. I know you think I am always bringing it up but I understand these things. After all Jesus visited the Samaritans, touched the lepers, forgave the adulteress, and turned water into wine. Then told the lame man to get up; raised the dead child; fed thousands of hungry; spoke to Nicodemus at night; loved the man that betrayed him. Blessed the one who anointed him; spoke well of John the Baptist; had no place to lay his head; healed the demonic; taught in parables; came to earth as a baby in a manger.
This is kind of example you need to follow, like I do. You need to be more like him when you choose your friends. After all if you are not a good example like this, how do you think all those low-lifes are going to have a chance to see what it takes to get to heaven? Love ya, hope this helps. I’ll be back to check on your friends list soon to make sure you cleaned it up.
