I recently received a handful of random texts and Facebook messages from one of my closest friends growing up. It’s been a long time since him and I have talked and even longer time since we actually saw each other, but I still consider this friend to very important to me simply because of all we did and discovered together. Everything from learning about punk rock to playing music and becoming rebellious. We walked away from God at the same time and begin searching for some sort of meaning in this crazy world. His recent texts and messages have been focused on the past and remembering those times growing up. Remembering the past – the good and the bad. You could say this post is about looking back and looking forward.
