Children and adults vary in many ways. One important way is that adults rarely let someone "new" into their circle of friends and children are always looking for "new" friends. It might be because the "new" friend have diffrent/cooler toys or that he/she has a swimming pool. Most adults, on the other hand, have alot invested in friendships, feel they are hard work, and just don't "pick up friends" like kids pick up players for the neighborhood baseball game.
I used to think I didn't have many adult friends, but now I realize I have many adults I am happy to call "friends". There are my work friends; my neighborhood friends; my friends from elementary school, junior high, and high school. I also have great friends at church and a few of "the girls" hang out talking before Wednesday night service solving everyone's problems.
Thanks to Facebook I have reconnected with old friends I haven't seen or heard from in years. It is great to be able to see pictures of their families, hear about their daily adventures, and pray for them when needed.
Today, I was looking at a friend's Facebook page at a picture she posted of her son's new haircut.
