The word friend is a very important word. It means someone who cares about you. It means someone who makes you laugh, and laughs at your stupidest joke (sometimes, haha). It means someone who cares about your problems, who comforts and prays for you when your problems are too much. It means someone to share times with, good and bad. It means someone who encourages you and builds you up, even if it means bringing correction and incite to you. This word has become especially important to me this year. I have so many Godly, wonderful, patient friends, a lot more than I deserve, and i have been taking them for granted. I am a proud, ignorant, stupid, self righteous person. And I am surrounded by so many cool people. And when I say cool, I mean Godly, friendly people. And I just want to say thanks to all of you. And I want to promise and ask for your prayer, cause I know you guys give it willingly, that I will grow in those areas I mentioned and that I would be a better friend. And I encourage you to go to a friend and share how they've blessed you this year. Thanks for rocking.
Jesus is awesome,
~Dave

Welcome
Thanks for visiting One Way Up webcast :)
If you have any questions, suggestions, advice or anything else please email onewayupcast@gmail.com
Thanks!
The Cast :)
What are we doing? Why One Way Up? We decided on the name One Way Up because there is only one way to get to heaven, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ. What we're doing is living for God as youths (as we will when we are adults!) and trying to reach out to people through this blog. We will cover many topics on the blog, and in One Way Up episodes. Each episode will have a theme such as Shine, Heroes, Family, Friends, Wisdom etc...Each episode we hope to have an interview with a pastor or author that we know to have them speak out on a topic.

Amen! Great Post Dave!
I have the same feeling about my friends. I have been so blessed with such wonderful friends that I don't deserve.
Thank you all so much for being such great friends!
In God's Grace,
~Kylie
and were so happy we have such a grateful friend as you, dave!
i feel the exact same way about my friends, and how i act toward them. :(
but we can all pray for each other, right? :)
you got it :)
Yeah!
I would like to add that I am only a decent friend (not an absolutely great one) because of Calvary and common grace.
"A friend is someone who loves Christ and provokes you to love Christ more, and someone who hates sin and provokes you to hate sin more." --D. Brewer
I have something to add to the list: No matter how many times you've messed things up for that person, or how many times you blow up in their face, they forgive you.
Great post, Dave! I am so blessed to have you as a friend!
