How Could Anyone Not Want This?
Being a tent making pastor during my days of seminary, I have found myself earning a living among mostly unregenerate people. As for the so called Christians, they tend to be a bit lax and nominal in their representation of Christ (I say this taking into account that my own representation is not perfect). Out of all of the affects of the fallen nature, the affect that leaves me the most perplexed is the one on relationships.....especially marriage.

As I have been preparing to pop the question to my precious Lal (Hindi for "Beloved"), I have found that certain coworkers of mine will slip in their radically depraved opinions like, "Screw marriage.......I say find them, use them, and leave them before they fall in love with you". It amazes me at how these guys can live with the desire for endless, empty flings; even when they are married they promote such fowl things. They live for the flings like there is no tomorrow, and when you tell them of something greater they chastise you for it. Looking upon the picture above, I can't help but wonder how anyone could not want what I have with my precious Lal? How could you not want a person who is willing to be vulnerable with you as you are vulnerable with them? How could you not want true intimacy (which means "Into Me See")? Seriously, Abba Maximos the Confessor was right when he said that people think they have what is good, when in reality they do not.

Very good.

Marriage is a great thing. Lisa and I have been married for 25 years. I love her more now than ever before.

Married life should be a great blessing for both husband and wife. I hope you have a wife even beter than I have (and I have a great wife).

In Christ,
Kenith

When do we get to meet her? I'm going to totally bother you about this because Josh says she's coming for a visit. You will know no peace from me until I get an answer. (One would think I'm excited and happy for you...)
