Prodigal Son

Today I had a 'prodigal son' type moment.

There's a person in my life, who was an idiot. They wrote me letters telling me that I was brainwashed and that the church wasn't right, and all of this other stuff, and we went our separate ways. We used to be good friends, and then he went bonkers, and so I didn't contact him and sort of let him be bonkers without me.

Today I ran into him at church.

I know that I should have been happy.
I know that I should have welcomed him back with open arms.
I know that I should have been super excited to have him back and have him realize that he was being a bit crazy.

I couldn't do it.
