My thoughts on friends

How many of you were afraid of going to high school? Not me, I couldn’t wait. You have to understand I was a super awkward junior high kid. I was a big time nerd. I spent a lot of time taking apart and repairing anything I could. I also had a hunger for adventure. I spent my summers building elaborate tree forts and exploring the suburban wilderness.

Family...

A broken family seems as abnormal as
a robin with no call.
It's a spicy jalapeño pepper
flavorless and dull.

A broken family is as undesired as
a newborn's heart suddenly stopping still.
Or like the sun never rising
over a Tennessee hill.

A broken family sounds as sad as
an owl in the moonlight
or the sharp winter snow in
the gutter, no longer blinding white.

Looking at a lot of your pictures tonight I noticed a lot of differences, but one similarity I noticed on all of them was that you were in it. Whether you like it or not, you are stuck with your family forever. No matter how little you are home or want to be home, you are still in the picture.

So Monday night we talked about how lying, cheating, and stealing affects all of our lives. I want to share a scenario with you to get your thoughts.
