| My walk with Christ and the events leading to my relationship with Christ have made for quite a journey. I was baptized in the Catholic Church as an infant but my parents stopped attending church when I was very little. My only exposure was when I visited my grandparents. Even then it was more out of family duty and obligation than anything else. By the time I entered my high school and college years, I realized that religious ritual was empty. I began seriously questioning my faith and whether or not I believed in the existence of a supreme being. I was not an atheist by any stretch but still skeptical nonetheless. |

| It came to my attention recently while I was visiting a Mosaic church that I was pretty uneducated in the aspects and origins of many holidays, St. Patrick’s Day included. The pastor began to elaborate on the historical figure known as Saint Patrick and as I listened, I made a mental note to look into the people and events behind this annual celebration for the future. |

| I felt very blessed by God on February 14th this year to have absolutely nobody to call my valentine. While this may sound harsh and insensitive, I assure you that there’s reason to my madness. I would enjoy having a significant other (massive understatement), but the fact that I didn’t have to pony up the dough to buy flowers and candy for someone could be construed as a positive…or at least I tell myself that to avoid feeling like a loser. I did send a Valentine’s Day card to my mother, but I suppose that doesn’t really count. |

| In Part 1 of this article, I explored dating from a single’s perspective. In Part 2, I’ll delve into the minds of married couples for their input on this subject. As far as married couples go, Rebecca hit the proverbial nail on the head. She said, “An integral part of a successful marriage is your faith. Believing in God, amplifies your faith an infinite number of times. Faith that the almighty can take care of the problems life throws at you makes all the difference in your attitude about life.” |

Chances are that you’ve probably been hearing more about mission trip opportunities since the start of the year. Maybe your church is sending a team to Kenya or helping with the ongoing recovery efforts from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Perhaps, your Pastor has been encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone this year and to do your part to help participate in fulfilling The Great Commission. Few would disagree that the thought of going abroad is an exciting idea. And, many would agree that a mission trip is an adventure waiting to happen that couples the goal of spreading the word with helping those in need. |
