church

I think we all should have close Christian friends, but not necessarily at our church (although it is nice, ideally, IMO),yet we should have people in our church with whom we are friendly and familiar, friends but not necessarily close ones. There are pros and cons to this, of course. And, by friend, we are not counting immediate families (okay, cousins and more distantly related people can count).

So let’s talk about what is and then you are free to comment on that or upon what you believe should be.
