for my dearest bro in IJC

hey marcus,

so sorry i couldn't attend prom and completely pangseh-ed you and the team for the performance at prom. i really wanted to attend prom and rock the house with you, sam and wilson, really! i know you think this is an excuse or unreasonable way of putting it. and i know it's not fair to you or anyone else in the team, since the performance was set way before my church camp was set.

but my priority has been set too, way before i entered JC. i put God first over any other things, as much as i can. and because of that, sometimes i am placed in a tough position to choose and decide. i cherish the friendship and company i have with you these two years, but we all have our priorities and set of value system. i'm so sorry for being unreasonably absent when you were so looking forward to the prom and performance. i know you may not like the idea of people following God so closely and you may think badly about God. but i have a different opinion about God, and i hope you understand that there are some things in life i cherish that you may not understand yet.

you are right, "a promise between friends means never having to give a reason". i know i've given you a reason that you would perceive invalid. but a relationship between friends means respecting each other's values.

bro, i still love you man, and hope you understand.
making the decision between prom nite and my church camp was really not an easy one.
i sincerely apologize for my incoherence in decisions.

i pray one day, you will understand my views about God.


sincerely,
-dexter

PS: prom wont be the last time we meet with each other man, we can always come together anytime we're all free!
