Who’s Your Randy?
Randy knows everything about me. Especially the nasty stuff.
I like it like that.
He keeps me in check.
Last Wednesday I called him to ask a question and he responded with…
“This deserves an iChat”
And so we commenced with an iChat and the face to face time was invaluable.
Who’s your Randy??

RAIN IT DOWN
I’m in the process of finding a new one. I lost a good “Randy” after we went our separate ways from college. It’s been a few years.
Heather is mine, and thanks God for her!
I’m in between “randys” and it is disappointing. Once you’ve had that amazing relationship with someone, it’s hard to do life without it. I had it in high school and college, but like @Shawn just said, we went our separate ways and I miss it like crazy. My husband is there for me like that, but it’s different.
Hambrick is mine
Heh. My pastor is. Which um makes me shrink when I get, “we need to talk”. OY. If he didn’t love me so much tho I’d run and hide…
But it’s been great. I’ve grown a TON. Stinkin’ grateful really.
I’ve been praying for a “RANDY”.
That would be my wife and I’m not sure I want another
Welllll, I can’t be my own Randy but I am a Randy to others. My Randy’s are Eddie, Alan and Joe (not the plumber).
My best friend, Heather G.
I can’t even get the fiance to use Google Talk or iChat. I guess the telephone will have to do for this geek. :/
I have a Cindy… a awesome gurll who allows me to be transparent and authentic. Thank You Cindy B. Genius!!
My “Randy” is my friend Chris from California. Even though I have never met Chris in person his wisdom and encouragement have been invaluable to me.
LOL “randy” means something entirely in Australia…but my “tell it like it is” person is Eddy
looking for a Randy – I hope to find one at the new church I’ll be working at.
I’ve had many Randy’s in my life growing up.
I would say my “Randy” is a girl by the name of Katie McGrady out of California.
Not only does she hold me accountable and keep me in check when I’m an idiot.
She also one of the people who truly got me to find my passion in blogging/writing.

My “Randy” is Randy L. He was one of my student ministry volunteers back in the day.
Lee is mine and it is awesome to have a buddy like him in my life that holds me accountable
First of all, you guys are way too cool with the tech toys! I’ve never seen Randy from that angle at his desk…I’ve only been behind him – talking to the back of his head.
My Randy’s name is Sharyl, aka “My Spiritual Mama”. I get nothin’ but unconditional acceptance from her…and everyone needs someone like that! Glad you have Randy. (he’s good people)
The only reason I am still in ministry today is because of the “Randy” in my life. He works for lifechurch and his name is Andrew. Having someone that will shoot straight with me and knows me well enough to call me out when I need to be has been vital to my life.
I went without a “Randy” for the longest. It seriously was a hard season of life. However, my former “Randy” actually tracked me down about 5 months ago because he felt he needed to. Man was he right! Since then he has continued to pour into me and set me straight , just like good ole days. Thank God for Randys’.
My friend Lori. She has been through so much and is here for me now. She never, ever acts annoyed when I need to talk. She calls me everyday to see how I am doing.
I had another “Randy” named Christina when I went through some very tough times a few years ago. Both Lori and Christina are jewels.
My older sister, Stephanie.
She lives in Chicago, I live in So.Cal….and she is still, hands down, the best accountability ever. Her phone calls and honest questions can throw me back into check faster than anyone I know.
Invaluable is the correct word.
Hmm… I’m not sure if I have a Randy – maybe I’ll start accepting applications.
My ‘Randy’ is named Jim. He’s come along side me and poured into for about 6 months now and so many good things have come out of our relationship for both of us. It’s hard and often uncomfortable, but it’s totally worth it to have someone who will ask you the hard questions and even get on your nerves because they care so much about you and want to see you grow.
I have several Randy’s 1 is Gina Cox. she has been in my life found about 2 years now. She is tough….she loves me, and love is not defined by covering over my sins. She kicks my butt when i need it and tell me when i am being ridiculous. the other is Anne, she knows as much as Gina and sometimes more of the feelings behind it. she lives 3 or so hours away…most of our communication is over email, but it works for us. Having a “randy” in my life is huge for me….because i get that i cant do life without these people!
B.J. is my “Randy”
idk, my bff, jill?
In all seriousness, though…one of my best friends Rhema, even though our doorsteps are 720 miles apart right now. We were best friends in college (not that long ago). And another one of my best friends, Luci…also from school. Our doorsteps are 2.5 miles apart. It’s nice. =)
Well, Randy’s not really my Randy, because I don’t see him or talk to him often enough…..but I do love me some Randy!
I would say that mine goes to Rich Kirkpatrick. Awesome guy, started out as a “necessary mentor” for a class I was in and the current YP at my church didn’t know how to communicate with me so he had me talk to Rich. Rich and I developed a fantastic friendship and he eventually officiated my wedding and has been a great friend and mentor since.
I have a few Randy’s. They’re great to have. There are times, though, when I hord my “stuff” in and don’t tell anyone. I need to work on that.
Love your site.
Bless God. Serve Someone.
anne.
she tells me the things i don’t like to hear but need to.
that would be Craig Walker … like a Dad to me … we pray/fast each year together in Jan … when it’s time to fish or cut bait, he’s the guy I call for my last gut check.
For the Kingdom,

I’ve never had a Randy.
My “randy” is pat. (http://patamo.blogspot.com/)
He is more than a friend…he’s a brother to me.
Love ya’ man!
Kinda wish I had one. Not really so much.
I don’t have one, never have. I always pray and crave for a “Randy” especially since I am usually someone else’s.
