THE ODD COUPLE

No, not me & HH. Although we have our moments and you may beg to differ.
No, it's HH and one of his friends, Cory. If they were girls, they would be BFF's for life. They hunt together when they can. They chat on the phone (occasionally - because after all they are not girls). If they are both off work during the week, you can bet they will get together to talk UFC or drums or hunting or whatever (I really don't know for sure- I am at work!) Last night they sat in my kitchen discussing some serious street ministry time Cory had just finished up with men form his church and then proceeded to move to the living room where they played hours of Street Fighter something another on the PS3. The complexity and depth of their relationship intrigues me.
Technically Cory is our friend. Actually he was my friend first. Ok - actually he was my student first. That is right- he's about 9 years our junior and a former student of mine. So you can imagine how weird it is to be hanging out with a kid who sat in my class. A former student who housed us for 5 months when our house caught fire - no questions asked. A former student who has previously served as the worship leader at my church- my worship leader.
HH is pretty redneck but can dress it up. Cory is pretty trendy, but can peak out that redneck every so often. They have a blast together and it is a ton of fun to watch. They act like 10 year-olds at times and it like teaching middle school, and then they dive into discussions about Christ and I sit in awe.
They bless each others lives though and that is what matters. The love Jesus, their families, and each other. Although HH would probably never say that out loud, Cory would & cry like a baby about it!
