Love & Life

Love is a curious thing.  It can bring two people closer together or at times drive them apart.  I am currently finding out more about this weird thing we call love.  I'm not going to share all the details, yet I will say it is interesting to say the least.

So far it has been rough and painful, yet I'm moving forward as best I can in this relationship.   Some might say, "John, this relationship of yours does not count, it isn't real."  That might be true yet, considering a friend and I had a few knocking of the heads yet, we made up, doesn't that show that it isn't "fake?"  If it was, this relationship would be over in my opinion.

One thing regarding human love is that it can change, not be entirely real or fade vs. God's love is non-stop and has no bounds.  To me that is pretty cool considering some of the crap & bad stuff I have done.  

Still this relationship I have is different; I don't know what is or will be down the road nor am I shutting out my other friends.  I'm just sharing that I am learning/finding out more.  

Is this love thing singled out and nobody else?  No, otherwise I could not love Dad, Mom, or my brother.  Love is complex and has different meanings/layers just like our relationships.  One thing in communications class is that a relationship is like an onion.  Layers ranging from surface stuff i.e. how are you?  to the deep, inner core i.e. what is your deepest fear?  That kinda stuff.

I hope that helps and just gives ya something to chew on as you go through this week.

Have a good one all.  :)

New Star Trek Online Video!

WOOT!

I am so excited about this upcoming game; I will say this Star Trek game will probably be the one (only?) game I do my best to get on, and play my heart out in. I've included the new character creator trailer plus the Star Trek Online trailer itself so enjoy.

:D

Relationships

One wonders about life at times. I have found out (as many of you out there have) that any relationship is complex and can be challenging as well. The key thing about any relationship is that one must be diligent in working stuff out. Be it good or bad or something entirely in between. That is the key. If one forgets to do that, things will get funky that's for sure. I'm not even talking about marriages here, just the regular friends you have at work, church, school, etc.


One of my friends and had a long talk last night (chatting online if you wanna be picky :P ) about some stuff. What was going on between us/what each of us thought about our friendship. It was a good talk don't get me wrong and somewhat confusing. Though the key is we talked vs just one of us bailing out. Something stuck my nerve and I pinged my friend and said ok have fun/whatever and was gonna just log and go sleep. Yet, my friend said hold on wait/talk and we did for quite awhile. I'm glad my friend did that.


So, in closing if you are feeling funky about a relationship, just sit down over a cup of coffee and just talk. You'll be amazed at how just by talking, discussing, and thinking about what's going on how it will help you then and down the road. The bonus of course, it makes your relationship stronger. :)

Snow and Nature

Well, I am not a big fan of snow. Granted I use a snowblower to move it for a snow shovel as necessary, I still hate it with a passion. Why you might ask? I'm either clearing off the driveway or driving it in, neither of which is fun.

Now today I had to snow rake the roof to remove the snow that was piling up. It did go easier then normal due to the warm temperature outside today. Now as I was doing it I stopped and took a brake a bit while doing it. The folks have a big roof let me tell you! lol Anyways, I stopped once and just looked around and listened. It was funny due to it was quiet, mostly everything had some snow on it, and it was just cool. Usually I'm not one to do that (especially regarding snow). I guess I just had some time to relax while working, clear my mind, and appreciate the prettiness/beauty of nature.

I also had a thought regarding snow, how it says in the Bible that we'll be cleansed as white as now plus how it related to the seasons. Think of it, winter where stuff dies and the white snow covers it. Next is spring where there's green and new life comes back and kicking. Summer where the temperature warms and the sun is out making life/the plants/trees etc greener and more oomfy. Fall where the leaves change color (who we in life might change our hearts or thoughts about God) plus this is the time where the plant/trees etc get ready to shut down and some even might die. Then the cycle goes all over again. Some neat connections there don't ya think?


That's it for now everybody. Enjoy! :0
