It takes two

This Thanksgiving was different than usual. It was good being back with family, and although I didn't get to see everyone I wanted this time there was still a salience of peace and joy that carried from that weekend. Perhaps it's because, as I was telling a friend on the way back to Ottawa, I really understood on a deeper level how God is so connected to this North American tradition. I'm thankful for so many things, and they all point to the one who created me in my mother's womb.

The moment it clicked, I couldn't stop fathoming how much everything is connected to him. I know this on an intellectual level, but to really let it sink into your soul is another thing entirely. You can't talk about anything without it relating it back to God, and I really like that. This is why coming up with a theme for this blog is so much easier than I initially thought.

No man is an island. I don't know who came up with that, but glad that they have. We were meant to be in relationship. Moving forward, that topic is what this blog will be about. It's about what matters most: life and love.

Something about me, I am an emotional being. I observe others in their time of love and ask myself the big questions. Sometimes I would take these questions to those who may know. Maybe I will pose these questions to you, the reader.

Now, I invite you to put your two cents in (because if I offer a penny for your thought, I'm still making a little money!); hopefully I learn something new. Now, you may be reading some posts and think who does this young good-looking dude think he is (in which case I would invite you to follow me on Twitter!). But really, I represent a very tiny fraction of a population I don't care to explain because I will not allow my Research Methods class to make its way into my personal life. So let's break it down:
- I'm in my early twenties. Which means I welcome those with more life experience to weigh in.
- I'm single. Which means I encourage people from any stage in their relationship (single, dating, engaged, married, happily married, etc.) to speak up!
- I'm male. Which means girls (or other dudes?) may see things differently than me, and that's great.
- I'm a follower of Christ. Which means my views on dating, marriage, relationships in general will always be seen from the heart of Jesus and his Word.

I do think the most important thing in this life is love. After all, God is love. So this is take-two - well technically take-three, and third time's the charm!
