IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

It was like a dream. It didn’t seem real.

There they were, standing in front of me, and I didn’t recognize them. I have known five out of the six, for almost forty years. I first met them in Stockton, California, where they still live. Yesterday we “ran into” each other in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Charlotte and I now live. We were standing in line waiting to buy tickets to the movies.

“Clif!” When I heard my name it was like waking up from a dream. I was looking into the face of my dear friend, Carol Smith. She was at the Scottsdale Fashion Square with her husband, Nick, and four other friends from the Central Church of Christ in Stockton, where they all worship.

It was a joy to see them—a surprise, but a joy!

Be careful. You never know who's watching.
