What is a friend?

Dear Jimmy,

I had to edit a post of mine that had a typo in it. In it I had accidentally said that again you were misunderstood, when what I actually had wanted to convey is that you again have misunderstood. God bless you.

Here is something taken from a practical reflections passage from the * Imitation of Christ*:

…When the soul is wholly given to the senses, agitated by the passions, and entirely taken up with exterior things, it is itself incapable and unworthy of the operations of God. We should therefore resolve to think and to speak but little to creatures, and to love silence and retirement, to nourish our minds with God’s presence and our hearts with His love, and to do all for Him and in His sight, if we would become interior men, living in God, and for God, as every Christian should do who would be saved."
