A Breath of Cold Air...
All I could think about this morning as I opened my door only to feel the cool wind ( about 49 degrees) blowing on my face was...God is so good. I know the weather is such a silly thing to base emotions or overall state of mind on..but I cant help it , that's how He made me, and when it's cold I can't help but feel close to him. :-)Here's a puzzler.......While at Grace and Marisa's tonight for our weekly Laguna Beach dates......a question arose in my mind due to a conversation that we had.....Is a Hug really just a Hug?...and How much can you Really Tell from a hug? Frontal or the classic clique' Christian approach, the Side Hug...what do these things really mean!? hahhaaha just some food for thought ;-)
Guy girl friendships are funny, esspecially in Christian circles. I've just seen a lot of evidence of this in talking with all of my female friends.....at one time or another have delt with this issue...I feel as though I could write a book on the subject, but that irrelevant. hahaha It just seems that there is always a lot unsaid......but there is almost always confusion, which sparks from a lot unsaid.....there is always a lot of overanalyzing, esspecially on the girls part, but sometimes on the boys part too i have found. It seems as though we as Christian college singles go through the Crush Cycle about once a day, which is pretty ridiculous...but we do it all the same. I get so lost in the idea of Crushes that I wonder if I will know how to distinguish when it's the real thing...... I'll leave that one up to Him :-)

My friend led a bible study with some high schoolers (one of them being my brother) that went through either "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" or "Not Even a Hint". Brent said at one point they actually practiced side hugs. Needless to say, they got really good at avoiding the frontal hugs.
The girls didn't even notice the switch up, unless another guy said something, in which case the girls were sometimes offended.
Mar~I'll let you know when it gets published =-) hahahahaa
Dan~I'm not quite sure where you were going with that....I wasnt dissing the side hugs at all or belittling them in anyway, but sometimes you just need a little more ;-)
Oh I wasn't making any sort of judgement. When Brent told me the story, I found it highly entertaining and I thought I'd share it with the WWW. Maybe if I make better use of the emoticons... :I
awe Dan hahahaha no i'm glad you commented, i just wanted you to know where i was coming from in writing that....if you were here i would side hug you right now ;-)
