Relationships

So Tonight I am waiting in line for my tasty Quiznos sub. Lines at Kent State Quiznos are always so long and so often I have time to sit and ponder the wonder that is life around me. So as I'm pondering, I happen to over hear a conversation between two girls behind me that went something like this....."I've had it with getting screwed over by guys and always getting hurt. So I've decided to make a list of everything that I want in a guy, then every single guy that I meet or am interested in I will make sure that they meet every single criteria and if they don't then I won't give them the time of day. That way I won't get f'ed over by any more stupid guys." second girl, "that's a great idea." I thought to myself, no that is not a great idea. In fact that might be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard for a number of reasons. One: you won't ever find a guy to meet all your criteria, because if you think Mr. Right/perfect exists you are sadly mistaken. He does not. This is because all men are f'ed up people just like all women are. It's what happens when you rebel against God. Two: Thinking that a perfect guy will save you from heartache is horribly illogical. Even a perfect guy with the most perfect intentions can still hurt a girl, it happens all the time, trust me I know for experience. 3. Perfect guys, such as a guy that would meet the entire list of this girl's criteria are either a) taken or b) interested in girls who don't have lists telling them how perfect they are. Well anyways, to finish the story this girl just keeps going on and on behind me in line talking about how evil men are and how she needs to find the perfect guy to be happy and that she will never find him because men are scumbags (there was some serious, serious male bashing going on here). So I just keep listening and getting more and more annoyed at this girl, especially as she keeps bashing men. So finally I get so fed up I turn to her, and say, "I couldn't help but over hear your conversation and I just want to say that I hope that you find the guy that meets all your criteria, all 5 pages of it, and I hope that he breaks your heart. And then I hope that you find a guy that doesn't meet any of your criteria and he falls madly in love with you and sweeps you off your feet and loves you for the rest of your life." She just gave me the most bizarre look ever and stood speechless. I proceeded to order a regular turkey ranch and swiss and enjoy it immensely.

Congrats

Hey, just wanted to give a shout out to my pastor as their newly adopted baby was just born. Congrats guys. We're excited to have a new kid around the church.

Redemption

There is beauty in Redemption. A beauty that is often unexplainable. A beauty that warms my heart and chills my spine. This is because God is in redemption.
