currently...

had dinner with my friends michele and chris this past weekend. michele reminded me that it feels good to be known. chris reminded me that i can be morally republican and socially democrat. (independent?) love love love them.

a new coffee shop opened close to my house. want them to hire me for 2 days a week. it is the cutest place you'll ever see.

church on sunday pushed my buttons. this is the latest class being offered: "finding the right partner: this course will explore issues of the head and heart when it comes to choosing a spouse. the first half of the course deals with "head knowledge" and explains the importance of building safe relationships while knowing what to look for in a dating partner. it also deals with key areas to explore in a partner in order to have an accurate understanding of what that person would be like in a long term relationship. the second half of the course deals with issues of "heart knowledge"- the dynamics of trust, reliance, commitment and sexuality".

don't get me wrong, i think this could be useful and beneficial to some people. perhaps even me! but there is a whole group of people who are being left out: the single people. instead of viewing them as second class citizens, why isn't a course on being single, whole and happy being offered? tell me, do you really believe that one could actually be single, whole AND happy (AND christian)? ultimately, i believe these courses would be more beneficial if offered in conjunction with one another. thoughts?

*thanks to westmont's tuesdays with morals program for the idea of "single, whole and happy"
