Today I spent a little time with a friend, Noah. My friendship with him is unlike any other in my life. He is a professional friend, and yet a profoundly deep friend. My meetings with him (several a year) always center on what we are each learning from the Lord, and learning in leadership. We are of similar age, though I'm a little older, and similar experiences in many ways. I particularly like that in our friendship their are no "off limits" areas of our lives. We live very transparently with each other and trust one another to ask about any red flags we see.
Today he told me that these traits are why he likes me, and that he doesn't have the same experience in other friendships; nor do I. This is probably because almost no one takes the time or the risk of having this type of friendship. I wish we could all have friendships like this...
