Confusion

Life, and more specifically, people can be very confusing. I really don't understand people, nor their thoughts, muchless the motivation behind their thoughts. Take for example a friend from church. She is about 24 or so. I have been talking to her and getting to know her because I am thrilled to finally have someone my age at church. The topic of dating in general (not US dating, just dating as Christians) has come up.

She mentioned that she has recently come out of a relationship and that any guy she "dates" right now really doesn't have much of a chance with her because the pains of the relationship are still fresh. I can TOTALLY relate. Anyone that knows about what happened to me last spring can attest to that. Anyway, I have this weekend off. So I called this girl up to see if she wanted to hang out, maybe go to a movie, go bowling, just do SOMETHING to get out of the house. She tells me that she can't this weekend because she is going out of town with this guy she has been dating. Mind you two weeks ago was when she told me that she just couldn't date anyone. Now this puts me in an awkward position because she really doesn't know me very well (nor I her) so it's not like we are great friends. So now I feel kind of odd about seeing if she wants to hang out because she is dating someone. Puts me in kind of a precarious position. Oh well.

I have had a couple of incidents of people of the female gender saying one thing and totally acting the opposite way lately but I will not bore you with the details. I swear the older I get, the harder and harder it is to understand women and their ways of thinking.

Other than that, life is great. I am enjoying my first weekend off in ages. No work related stress at all. I will just try to relax and sleep as much as I can since I am still not totally over being sick. All in all, life is good.

Y'all give me some suggestions as to what to write about. I want to keep this blog interesting. Remember though it is a work in progress.

I leave you today with my favorite Bible verse. It is a good summation of the meaning of life in my opinion. Galatian 1:10 says "For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondervant of Christ." That verse speaks volumes to me. God Bless--Greg
