I was awoken at 3am this morning by one of my friends who needed to talk.
We talked.
It was good.
I love my friends, both the ones IRL and Online. And blogging has opened up the world to even more people with whom I can interact, learn from, and be blessed by.
Several things got me thinking about these electronic opportunities to touch lives, but the most powerful was something that ended up in my Other Posts of Note yesterday: Yet another fantastic post by Mary Grace (at least, I thought so).
Call me overly sentimental, emotional, sappy, or whatever, but I feel like giving you-all a great big internet hug:
<big hug>
Thanks for being my friend, and I am honored to be counted among yours.

Yay for Mary Grace and her heart for adoption as well as inviting more people to pray for you and Brittany!
Blessings,

Oh Luke, I missed that post by Mary Grace. It was wonderful. My heart and prayers go out to you and yours as you wait.
I agree, Luke!!! I am so blessed by the things I have learned by these "NOT IRL" friends!!!
I, too, have been blessed incredibly by the people I've never met IRL, but who have comforted me, challenged me, and made me think. Thanks for being one of them. Hugs back at 'ya.
Love this it is so true!
I don't have any emaginary friends. They live in my computer and so are totally real.
Tammy, totally! <smile>
Karen, thank you so much!
Kim, yep. Almost daily. <smile>
Mary Grace, you're welcome! And thanks <smile>.
Kelsey, thanks!
Heather, that's a very good point, and one of the reasons I don't like the term "emaginary": You're all far too real... and for that, I am grateful. <smile>
