to adam and amy...

...the couple we met at Barnes & Noble, of all places... two people we just bared our heart to, like we were fools, in desperate need of friends. And you know the amazing thing? You listened... you understood.
Maybe we are fools. But it just seemed like you are too... like your deepest pleasure is in being fools like us. Fools for Christ.
You've got our number. Maybe we'll never hear from you again.
But then again, maybe we will... because, although it was our night to need you, fools need each other sometimes, too.

Carrie, I don't know Adam and Amy, but this passage is simply touching. It touches the insecurities of feeling humanly vulnerable while also encompassing the great rewards of stepping out on a limb in need...and finding fulfillment. All that just because of a blurb to Adam and Amy, but it is so beautifully written, I just want to take that part about fools and put it in storage for later perusal. Love you lots, Michelle
