Here is the truth. There is no concrete way to prove that there is only one person out there for you. Ask a million people and get a million different answers. But they are all just opinions. It is like believing in God. You make a choice to believe despite the lack of definitive evidence one way or the other.
That said, here is why I believe there is just one person out there for each of us and it begins with purpose.
God is intentional. You can look at every single …

Most of us were raised on fairy tales of some sort. They were what our mothers read to us before bed, and the first books we learned to read. They were stories told to give us hope or to scare us into good behavior. We believed them, until accumulated experience made us feel foolish for doing so. There is no boogey-man. And there are no magic beans.
I am sure that most little girls have grown up wishing for one fairy tale in particular to be true. A Cinderella story. The …

How is that we can have a prestigious job with great pay that supports our family and even allows the luxuries, but still be bored?
How is it that we can sit in a room surrounded by laughter and charming people and still feel uncomfortable?
How is it that we can slide into bed with the most beautiful girl and still feel less than satisfied when the passion has faded?
How many of us feel comfortable going to a restaurant by ourselves or to the movies alone? Maybe some of us will go, …

I wasn’t always a country fan. I hated it when I was younger. I used to think that you had to live in the Midwest and own a ranch to like country music. Then I met a pretty girl that loved it. You can imagine how that went. I let her change the station in the car. I listened to the double sided tapes of full on country music she made for me. She wrote letters to me full of sappy lines from her favorite country love songs and I …

How far would you go for the chance at true love? Would you give up your job, your home, your city? Would you make a fool of yourself? And would it be worth it at the end if he didn’t love you? If he turned and walked away and chose someone else instead?
Some women will do a lot for the chance at falling in love (some men too). I am not sure it is altogether a bad thing to do a lot for love. It is a measure of character …

Valentine’s Day: Tell him/her where you are going ahead of time and make sure you are dressed appropriately. So he’s not wearing jeans to Chez Yvonne or she’s not in black satin for the Wings & Things’ Light Beer Night. Choose a place that’s meaningful for both of you. The classics (wine, roses, chocolate and poetry) are a great default in case you have to stay home.
Birthdays: Typically celebrated at home, the date of his or her birth is the perfect (and least-expensive ) way for the two …

Japan is a story that almost never happened for me. My senior year of college was going by quickly. I had the credits I needed to graduate, and my attention was more focused on acquiring the one thing many young people go to Christian colleges to find: the perfect someone that one later says they knew it the first time they saw them. I had quite a few friends in this situation. I wanted to join their ranks, and quickly, for if college ended and I still didn’t have a …

I envy Kurt. He’s got something few men have. He’s got this eye for beauty. And then he’s got the ability to draw or paint what he sees, exactly what he sees.
I went for coffee with Kurt at a Starbucks. He brought his pencil and some paper. I brought a keyboard and my pda. We sat in a corner. Just two guys, our backs to the wall, inconspicuously watching. We wanted to prove a point.
