Lost Friends

Happy indeed is the man
who follows not the counsel of the wicked;
nor lingers in the way of sinners
nor sits in the company of scorners,
but whose delight is the law of the Lord
and who ponders his law day and night.
-from Psalm 1

I was just reading a book by Napoleon Hill entitled "Think and Grow Rich" (available on Google Books that anyone who likes reading this should read) that has more to do with heavenly riches than what a first glance suggests. In that he discusses how those that are exposed to crime, for example, become more tolerant of crime at first and eventually become criminals themselves. This is true of whatever you expose yourself to, so be sure to surround yourself with good people. This could be tough when you reunite with old friends whose faith journey seems to have taken a different than yours - farther from God rather than closer. Yesterday, I was fortunate to attend a Catholic Underground Event where a number of people my age came together to praise God. It was great.
