I've got friends in low places....

Monty and Jessica King are our very dear friends here in Sugar Land. I'm pretty sure, aside from Patrick, that Jessica knows me better than anyone in the whole world. That kind of scares me, but I like it. We've walked together through some really dark times. It was a blessing to fight for her and listen to her while she was going through some things. And it was so wonderful to have her walk so closely to me through my dad dying and many other hard times.

She is certainly the best friend I've ever had. I didn't know how wonderful a friendship could be. We are open and honest with one another and share some very personal things. I will miss seeing her anytime I want and sitting down over a cup of coffee to talk about our lives. Here are some pictures of all of us from last Friday. We all hung out and had a great time...


There is a song by Watermark that makes me think of my sweet friend Jessica. It's called "More that you'll ever know". Here are some of the lyrics:

"Cause you've been more than a friend to me...you fight off my enemies for me, cause you have spoken the truth over my life. And you'll never know what it means to me, just to know you've been on your knees for me... Oh, you have blessed my life, more than you'll ever know...Yeah, yeah, yeah, more than you'll ever know... Yeah, yeah, yeah

You had faith when I had none. You prayed God would bring me a brand new song. When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing... and all the while I've been hoping that I'll do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me and that's the way it ought to be, yeah

You have carried me. You have taken on a burden that wasn't your own, yeah... may that blessing return to you, A hundredfold... oh oh yeah, a hundredfold"
