So, I just caught up with JH a bit through facebook…and I’m very touched by the conversation, and shocked.
My status when talking to him through it was something about massive amounts of alcohol being required. He asked me about that and asked if I was still a Christian outright. It was actually quite difficult to even begin to try to explain that I was not, and further why I was not.
His reaction has me feeling like I’ve somehow let down a friend honestly. Although, it somewhat sounds like he held me somewhat of a pedestal. He told me that often when he is talking to someone he would ask himself “what would Erica have said in this situation…”
Apparently though, it changed his life entirely.
Even though I’m not a Christian anymore, it does not change that I am incredibly proud of the man he’s become since that time.
