I got to hang out with some of my "old Friends" today and it was different. these weren't like "super close" friends of mine or anything, but they were friends. Hanging with them was so different.

I have grown up alot recently. this doean't mean i'm perfect, but i have changed, for the better. not my friends though. they have changed, but for the worse. they have poor laguange, bad relationships, and zero regard for other people. and once again, when i mentioned i was a pastor, they cleaned up thier act for me.

(sigh) I sometimes wonder about people...
