Visit from a dear friend

My dear college friend Barby Pearson Mouring came to visit tonight. She's in Greenville for the week and this was our chance to play catch-up for a few hours. Her visit brought back wonderful memories. We were roommates one summer when we were both on summer staff and had a little more freedom than regular students. I remember sweet evenings of fellowship, wading through MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST and SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY together and comparing notes and insights. We also went on a mission trip to Haiti together during Christmas vacation one year. Those were times of great spiritual amazement, awakening, awe. (I'm not really trying to alliterate but it's just working that way.) :-)


And now we're both much further on the journey. She's married, has five children ages 22 down to 7, lives in Virginia, and is busy with her family, homeschooling, and her church. But it is a lovely time of refreshment to remember those good times from long ago with a wonderful Christian friend.
