A Couple of Good Books.
So the other day, I read the book 'I kissed dating goodbye', but Joshua Harris.
The book was good. Though it was redundant at times, it was necessary for people who are playing in the dating world.
However, it gave some great relationship advice later in the book, and how even courtship is often done improperly.
Marriage is more than romance. It's the closest friendship in existence. Without friendship, a relationship will fall all to pieces.
A romantic relationship involves two people who's primary reason for being friends is to focus on the other person, and how he/she can make them happy.
In a friendship, the two are standing side by side, looking towards a common goal between them. Because a husband and wife will be working together, they must have a common goal, and thus a strong friendship.
I think that was the greatest point of the book for me, but it does have a tremendous amount of other good points as well.
It's not a hard read, in fact, it took about two hours to knock'er out.
I would recommend it if you're interested in learning about relationships. It's got some solid information that complies and agrees with everything I've heard from other people who I've learned from.
The only thing that bothered me was the wrong version of the Bible.
So, today I spent the morning with Jack and Rita Daughrey, and David and April Humphrey. Good day. Good day.
It's cold outside. That 3.3 mile run felt like I only ran 100 yards, but I did it with lead weights on my feet, in the snow.
Sadly, we have no snow. Hey! If some of you up in Alaska have a little extra, would you ship it down here? That would be wonderful, if you could. ;-)
Have a great day!
