I know that publicly shades of me show up in the friend he mentions in the beginning of this essay. I think this friend he mentions lives in all of us. He or she has to.
But I like to notice when people actually care about what they're doing/learning enough to talk with and help someone else, not just to show how much "knowledge" they have of what they're learning only.
I'm comfortable with where I am with God personally, but I know that where I stand with Him publicly matters too..at least I know that much and that I want to/am working on it.
More importantly though, this piece reminds me of the questions and concerns I find when observing, hearing, listening and talking to a few people that I know.
Great read.
A Donald Miller essay.
