 Now I’m one of those people who has friends from all over campus. I’ve been involved at the Presbyterian Student Center, played on two club sports – Rugby and Water Polo, done all sorts of service with the Hispanic community, led stuff for the Honors Program, and recruited for Teach For America all over campus. So even though I go to a school with over 30,000 students, I almost always run into someone I know no matter where I am. For example, last week I started walking to the bus to go downtown, and a co-worker saw me, picked me up, and drove me. Then I sat to do my reading outside Walker’s Coffee and Pub and waved to friends as they walked by.
I love having all sorts of friends, but my friends at the Presbyterian Student Center are special. Each week we worship together, eat together, study the Bible together, read books together, and just generally hang out together. Here are a few of my favorite random moments with these friends: women’s bible study Esther All Semester, late night Q&A at the Spring Retreat 2007, Apples to Apples during game nights last fall, and picking through trash cans for recycling at Montreat in January (see pic). I don’t know if you’re starting to get the picture, but these are friends that I’ve done about everything with. They know who I am really well, which becomes really powerful when they challenge me to be a better Christian (and yes – I do think recycling is stewardship). Do you have friends like these? Share some of your good memories!
