| Life is an interesting thing. I am constantly surprised by life and watching people live it. This is the season of weddings and working at a Biblical university means that there is a large portion of the student body getting married during their time here. I would imagine that all but 10% of the men in my graduating class were either married or engaged by graduation. At times this really bothered me, and when my student workers approach me about their relationships, which is somewhat inevitable, I always try to give them good advise. It isn't always easy, I am an observer of human nature and life, but I have not yet been on a date myself. So my advise doesn't necessarily have personal experience behind it.
I just read an interview from E-harmony with Steve Harvey, and it was something that I wish my school and church would talk about at an earlier stage in most of these students lives. His advise is biblically sound (for the most part, however the Bible does preach total abstinence before marriage not 90 days), and just very practical. I dearly wish I had this advise when I worked with Student Life.
So for now I will continue to observe and to understand, but I just thought this article was something that should be shared. It is hard for women my age in the church to find a spouse within the walls of the church. Most men my age are out "sowing their wild oats" and do not generally come back to the fold until a relationship brings them there. So many of my unmarried friends are disappointed with relationships but constantly longing for one. Maybe some of this advise might be good for them. | | |

We loved you, but are very pleased you are with the Lord.

| Interesting Author. Stephenie Meyers- Twilight series. Very interesting, a little high school, but that's fine since that is the target audience. 3 books, 3 days, very entertained.
Nothing else going on at the moment. Just a ton of reclassing at the library.

| I am sorry to have not written in so long, but I was forced to use another blog for school. I am now an official Librarian! I am also now an alumni of the University of Pittsburgh, scary thought. Oh, my. Now if only my brain would start to focus.

| Kentucky:
The owner of a golf course in
Kentucky was confused about paying an invoice,
so
he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.
He called her into his
office and said, "You graduated from the University of Kentucky
and I need some help. If I were
to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"
The secretary thought a
moment, and then replied, "Everything but my earrings."

Alabama :
A group of
Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the
day. That
night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the
weight of an eight-point buck.
"Where's
Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles
back up the trail,"
the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out
there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.
" A tough call," nodded the
hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
********************************************************************
Louisiana:
A senior
at Louisiana was overheard saying... "When the end of the world
comes, I hope to be in
Louisiana."
When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana
because
everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than
in the rest of the
civilized world.
****************************************************************
Mississippi:
The young man from Mississippi
came running into the store and said to his
buddy, "Bubba, somebody just
stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see
who it was?"
The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the
license number."
****************************************************************
Georgia:
A
Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-75.
The trooper asked, "Got any
ID?"
The
driver replied, "Bout whut?"
****************************************************************
South Carolina:
A man in South
Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the
road, and proceeded to put a
bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one
behind it. Then he got
back in the car to wait.
A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious
he turned
around and went back. He asked the fellow what the
problem was. The man replied, "I
have a flat tire."
The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"
The man responded, "When
you break down they tell you
to put flares in the front and flares in the back!
I never did
understand it neither."
********************************************************
You can say what you want about the South, but you
never hear of anyone retiring and moving North!
