> I currently live with my brother and a friend of mine that I have known for almost fourteen years. My closest friend is a man I have known for about ten years, and I still occasionally get together with two other guys who were a year ahead of me in high school, but I have known for about ten years as well.

Awwwww! This makes me feel all warm and gooey inside. Let's go eat maple syrup and play hockey.

> My closest friendship now has been maintained by the simple fact that we share the same faith, which has made us much closer.

That, and constant effort and encouragement from me. You call it "nagging" but what do you know? You never take me out anywhere anymore.

> And yes, without question, I would say that what effort I have put in has been worth it. Granted, that effort hasn't often been a lot, but I think that for some friendships, I would be willing to do a lot more.

Better start, too. Ingrate.
