Welcome Nimbus. I'm not much into anime or secret friends but it's okay with me if you like them. I can identify more with your love of your dog than the love of your god, so I guess that shows we must be two different people. Dogs are great but gods aren't my cup of tea.
I can't quite imagine what your sharing your love of Christ would look like in day to day conversation, but I anticipate it could get awkward. I don't currently have a secret friend but if I did I think I'd prefer it to be someone I knew when they were human like me who has died. A friend of mine in San Jose just died suddenly and unexpectedly. She had a lot of friends and many who will miss her more than I will. But I liked her a lot and it gives me a sense of what things are going to be like going forward with all the wonderful people you have known just evaporating overnight, if not this night then another just like it. Makes me realize that every day is like that and always has been from the time I was just a wee tyke and for all the people that have been born, lived and died before me. Some are coming on board, some are growing, some are grown and busy, some are older and some are done. All the ways that life can be are all there at the same time but we tend to stick to the part we're going through when we have things to do but when one we know evaporates it makes you remember "oh yeah that's life .. that's the deal". I kind of like thinking about life on its own terms without any sugar coating.
Whoa, where'd that come from? You still there? That's good. Guess you haven't evaporated yet so welcome!
