Junk Bonds

As some of you may know, Junk Bonds ( in the finance world) are high-risk bonds that offer a high yield. Well, here is a thought about relationships: For some people forming any type of "bond" is high risk. For my self, when Adam and I lived in Tulsa we went through a time of hurt at a local church. We didn't go to church for about three years. Afraid of taking that "high risk" to be hurt again. But we did, we took the step and went somewhere new. At the new place, we took out some "Junk Bonds". For us it was "high risk" not knowing what kind of "yield" we may get. In the end the "high risk" paid off with "high yield".

The risk: Will we be accepted and not judged?
The yield: Lasting relationships that we still maintain today across the miles.

To MetroMom and MetroDad:
Thanks for making sure our "Junk Bonds" paid off. We will never be able to put into words the appreciation, love and respect that we have for you both.

    This post is comment-worthy. But I don't know what to say, other than I whole-heartedly agree. You can't find better or more honest friends, more passionate or more challenging leaders, more faithful or more efficient co-workers than these two. It's an honor to serve alongside them, whether it be in youth ministry or adult ministry or just doing life together. I guess I do know what to say.

    Thanks for the touching post... it's good to see ya blogging more regularly.
