my bosom friend is hotter than your bosom friend

The day after Christmas, 2002, I had a sleepover planned with my new friend Mary from our high school youth group's freshmen girls' Bible study.

When I got to her house, we went upstairs to put my bag in her room, sat on her bed, and talked for over two hours. Then we got hungry, so we went downstairs and sat at her kitchen table with a big tin of Christmas cookies and talked for about two more hours. Then we decided we were sleepy, so went upstairs again, brushed our teeth, got in bed and talked until we fell asleep. Then we woke up, sat up in bed, and talked until Mary's mom came in to tell me my dad was there to pick me up.

And then we were best friends (literally... like after that day) and have been ever since.

And I really still totally objectively just think she's the coolest, cutest, most admirable person I know.

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
