a quick thought

over the past few weeks, i've just been revisiting old memories and experiences from past relationships/pursuits and what that "soul searching" has resulted in is a curious question: what makes him/her the "one" over any other person? i mean, God's sovereignty aside (He will provide, of course), i feel that it's all a matter of effort and right timing. with the right time and right place, and just enough effort, anyone can be anyone's "one".. which would sour the idealistic image we hold about that "one" because of the fact that anyone can be that "one"... this nihilistic/existentialist thought should be liberating, but it actually depresses me haha.

other than that, i'm just waiting as we leave for missions to japan. i'll have my computer so this blog will probably be updated every now and then, if ever.

Yayuhh, Brian is back in black.

One of my religion professors told me that we could probably have a decent marriage with any one of 50 people on campus. Behind his statement was the same kind of reasoning you have in your post. Funny how much wisdom about marriage a celibate priest can have.
