On this evening, I was beckoned out by my good friend Bassline and went out to eat. He picked me up with his roommmate and we headed out to Uno's for just a night out. Eventually others joined the festivities and we just hung out.
There is no amazing story here. No special incidents, positive or negative. The story was just the experience itself. Five young black men at various stages of life, yet all pointing forward, just enjoying the company of each other. And we weren't on the down low.
These are the experiences the Lord has been sending more of. For these are the expereinces that only grown-ups can have. These events happen all the way from when kids are having sleepovers. In high school and college, they increase. But there's a different component when everyone is of age. In early years, the nights are fraught with silliness or looking for the young ladies. Now, however, we each chose to be there and not for any ulterior motive. I mean we have wives and fiancees and long term girlfriends. The time to be frivolous is pretty much over.
But it's nice to be responsible. And nice to let loose with like minded people.
