Clark Blakeman is a friend who will always be very important to me.  I haven’t seen in a couple of years, but I will always remember the friendship that we had while he was the youth pastor at CBF and I was on volunteer staff.  Clark and I met weekly for almost 10 years to keep each other accountable.  We made a trip to Mexico twice with the youth group, traveled to Atl with other youth group leaders for a conference.  And once in a while we just hung out, Clark was one of the friends who helped me get through college, by spending time with me and talking.    Thank you, Clark.  You are a true friend.
