Don't you just have to laugh at how messy this business of finding a soulmate can be? I feel that I must laugh, lest I become overwhelmed by the depressing sense that us still-single singles are the object of some cruel cosmic joke played out in an eternal cycle of unholy trinities: so-and-so likes so-and-so who likes so-and-so, and so on and so forth. Laughing at least frees us from being the helpless object of the laughter of many capricious gods, even if the cost is laughing at ourselves. But such a sacrifice is liberating when one is laughing *with* the only God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) for this triune God has a very *good* sense of humor. Good, that is, for those of us who "get it" despite themselves. Somehow He is working all this mess out for good, and its end will be above all our hopes and expectations, partaking of his own blessed eternal union. Therein lies my inexplicably pregnant smile for us all. :-)

Passing Thoughts
This reminds me, you didn't answer my last email. But from this post, perhaps I can figure out the answer myself? Ah, but that can be dangerous--too easy to assume the wrong thing.
p.s. It is nice to see you've updated your blog :-)
