Dating...ONLINE!

Technology...it wasn't always around but now, some of us can't see life without it. I'm just 28 (I think), but I remember days when you would walk to the nearest house and ask to use the phone...and they would say yes. Now, if someone has a flat tire and a good samaritan tries to help, the person in need usually says, "I called for help already" (aka-get away from me you stranger...I know you plan on killing me). But then when it comes to meeting a special someone...where do you go? How do you meet them? The men who know me don't seem interested...so I guess online is the way to go!

Doesn't this seem strange and wrong?! I won't let someone help me with a flat tire or other various car problems because I'm afraid that they're psycho...but I will cruise online to find "my perfect match". Are we out of our minds!!!???!!! ...well, I guess we are, because I'm online, lol

Tips for you out there...paid sites...hit and miss...people make snap judgements on your profile and/or your picture...when people say they want to make friends first and then see where it goes...they mean that they are new to the site and they mistakenly believe that it works. Secondly, people lie...it's just that simple...go ahead and meet them anyway, but drive yourself and make sure a friend knows where you are. Third, be prepared to meet some real jerks...I shouldn't need to explain, I mean, your meeting a guy (girl, for you male readers) from the internet! Third, there are some REALLY good free sites out there...OK Cupid is one of them. Sites that you pay for are usually more fruitful in metropolitan areas because there are a larger percentage of people on those sites...if you're in a rural area...try something locally targeted. (Or, you know, you could take a stab at getting to know people in the community and let that guy look at your smoking engine) HAHA

So I woke up smiling...

Ever do that? I can't pinpoint the reason...but, I do remember the first words out of my mouth, "God, what do you have planned for me today?" I can guarantee you that I will be keeping an eye out today...are you excited? Cause I am! It's a super peaceful feeling to know the God who knows beginning to end and all the details in between...let me know if this confuses you.

Prayer

To pray or not to pray, that is the question. For whether it is better to plod on ones own or to acknowledge that, apart from God, one can accomplish nothing on his own. Oh, to die, to sleep...to die: yes, to die to one's self is ne'er simple...a life of me, a life of me. To sleep, to sleep away and pretend that all there is in life is me...

But what this, what if one were to realize at each moment's juncture that this life is not for one's self at all, but that ALL in life were for the glory of ONE...for the the glory of one from the beginning of time's ticking clock...ALL THINGS and EVERY MOMENT for that one...all the thousands of years...all the wars...all the lifetimes of each and every person...every instance working together to glorify that ONE! What a life of significance for the glory of the ONLY worthy one...
To pray, to pray; to pray for the understanding of all eyes to be openned to where true worth lies. To pray for my moments that cripple me to glorify that ONE. To pray for times of ease and gain to glorify that ONE. To pray for the honor of hearing the words "Well done, my good and faithful servant"!
