so me and tbV have been in a place of really trusting God for the future and for just general every day life and i haven't wanted to blog about a lot of it because when you start mentioning stuff and people start responding to 'save you from the crises' then it kinda cancels out a lot of the trust element... but i will say this. when you are trusting God and not having a [...]
okay, this made my day [and it had a lot of work to do] but Donald Miller of Blue Like Jazz fame finally jumps on the bandwagon and offers his brief but frank review of the book 'Love Wins' - an absolute gem and will hopefully settle any controversy once and for all. check it out here and pass it on.
i've been wanting to get some different perspectives on this whole dating thing and so i asked my friend Terran if he would be able to write something on the one aspect of dating. And he said no. Something about having two children and a job or something... BUT what he did do for me [he is a super busy dude and i suspected he wouldn't have time so this is great] is send me [...]
DoghouseDiaries brings out a new comic every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a lot of the time they are very funny - one of my regular visits which you can go visit here. But this one they completely nailed:
i want to briefly look at the whole concept of 'the One' which i used to refer to as my Neo girl ala the Matrix... is there that one specific person that God has hand picked for me to date and marry? and i think the answer is no! ...except when it is yes! hm? well i think it links to the concepts of general will and specific will. a lot of the stuff in [...]
Pearls before Swine is my favourite cartoon being drawn today - i REALLY loved [and related to] this one - you can see more and subscribe to the daily cartoons here [And if you enjoyed that then you will most likely enjoy what I think is one of the funniest-because-it-is-pretty-much-absolutely-true 'est cartoons on R.E.M. song lyrics]
...continuing on the journeying of looking at how we date and how we could do better at it... this specific thort is very couple specific so for those who need to hear it, you REALLY need to hear it, whereas there are probably a whole bunch of people who don't [but you know people who do!] but i do think it is a healthy thing to give a quick look to. so the moment happens, [...]
hokay so this is not so much a guest post as an article link but someone who has been reading and enjoying the dating series sent me this link to this dog whisperer episode [i have never seen dog whisperer, what, they run out of horses?] and it makes some pretty good points so worth a read... click your mouse on this place to read it...
and the search for revolutionary dating methodology continues... firstly some interesting thorts i read on my friend's blog linked to that whole 'Guys, Step up!' mentality of the girls. Girls, this is not an excuse, but provides some understanding of the guys place in this whole thing... "Telling a girl I liked her was about as difficult as trying to eat a tortoise whole. In my early 20s, internet-spawned relationships allowed me to keep this [...]
...and the discussion continues seeking out a Christ-following version of dating and relationships that is more effective than the model we have simply been borrowing from the world - beginning with a renewing of your mind and refusing to conform any longer to the pattern of this world. Somebody asked the question - what if we have already crossed the line physically with someone or some ones? There are two very important points to hear [...]
