I’m glad
This afternoon, I went with the Fun Group to go see “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, and then we went out to Olive Garden, since there are no Greek restaurants in town.
The Fun Group is a group of secretaries (and their husbands, if they have them) who go out and do fun things. Our building is probably 60-80% secretarial staff. Its also 90% women. So, being a single, male, specialty staffer – they’ve adopted me.
I’m glad.
Its expensive for me. Most of these women have the income of their spouse to help these little outings. But its very valuable for me, too. It gives me a social connection… oh, I don’t know – its too late and I’m getting too tired to analyze the connections and the psychological stuff…
What matters is, that I’m glad. I’m glad. That’s really all I wanted to say about that.
The movie is good, too. Go see it with someone if you haven’t.
Like most shows about boy-girl relationships, it made me moody and sad somewhat. I could relate very much to the story, but I’m not Greek. *g* But, I had the company of some great friends, and by the time I got to the restaurant I was okay.
It also scared me, which surprised me. I remember when the wedding day scenes started – I kinda freaked. I think I’m afraid of committment? No, thats not quite it. Well, maybe its that I’m afraid of making a bad committment? *smile, sigh* I have time to wait for this, I think, if ever it comes.
When I called Nightingale tonight, she was IMing. So I IMed distractions to her while waiting for her to finish typing to a friend. Her friend asked her a question about “what is true love”, so I did a Google search on Agape Love.
I found several great links. The one I liked best was http://applesaucekids.com/Lessons/agape.htm. Check it out. Very good answer to the question.
I found it convicted me at one point….Where summarizing ICor13, it says “+ bears all things + believes the best of every person + its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything without weakening + it never fails.”
The “Its hopes are fadeless…” part — that really got me. I am wrestling very much right now with hope and love.
Thats all I’ve got to say for now about that.
God in three persons – Trynity.
Oh I know that God is a fabulous character and that he’s willing to accept us all. He’s actually had a close relationship with quite a few of my friends. I mean, I’m not a bad person or anything. I go to church and do the youth group thing, and I’m pretty active with three churches in my town. I’m just saying I haven’t talked in tongues with him or anything lol.

PS-I’m Greek, and that was an awesome movie. It really is a pity you haven’t got any good Greek restaurants in your town. The closest to my house is a half hour drive but…..gaaaah…..is it ever worth it!
