Dating

A buddy of mine recently met a girl online. The fact that they are attracted to each other is, of course, apparent even to the blind, deaf, dumb and intellectually disabled.

I have my misgivings. What do they know about each other, beyond a few shared IM conversations and emails? What if they are only attracted to each other's online persona's? How do I know she's not a Glenn Close wannabe?

Then Perspective made her presence felt, and reminded me that even I didn't know the people I've been with for a long time. Do we truly know the people we love? Does it even matter that we don't? In the end, is it not hope and faith that drive the first steps to love?

With that, I prayed for someone else for the first time in a while.

Today, God sent me a reminder that unselfish prayers tend to get listened to a lot more.

Go get 'em, Tiger. :)

LOL! That reminds me of a quote:

The general rule on about people on the Internet seems to be "Attractive, single, mentally stable. Choose two."

I do know, however, of two individuals who got together via the Internet. On the other hand, they are both psychos (and I do not mean that in the endearing sense).

How goes the martial arts and the car?

Hey Ben!

Both go wonderfully. Muscling up though my stamina still sucks. I gotta work some cardio into the routine. Car is slow like turtle at the moment because I can't push it. Will get better past the 3000 mark.
