just reconnected with a dear old friend of mine that has been going to school in Canada.  a sense of privilege swept over me to know that i know someone who lives there and is a dear friend of mine still. what grace!  i have done nothing to keep this friendship yet He sustains it to use as an encouragement.  His kind of encouragement pushes you forward. as i pondered upon this sense of privilege, i realize that's kind of the same with God.  what a privilege to have him go before me.  i have a friend in every inch of this world, who knows it well, who knows me well.

Whom shall I fear?
