| 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. |

| Flipping through the channels one evening, a frighteningly familiar sound comes from the TV: “Love, Exciting and new, Come aboard, They’re expecting you.” The Love Boat, I about had an apoplectic fit right on the spot. But the theme song did bring to mind a day that fills some Christians with dread; the day of amore, Valentine’s Day. This day is chock full of complicated issues for Christians. In this national spotlight of love, a GPS for the heart is in order. What do Christian women think of the dating scene, and conversely, the men? How do we as Christian singles navigate through the torrid waters of the “Dating Pool”? I for one, would like to know, wouldn’t you? We are all looking for an “Atlantis”. We are looking for a place where our questions can be answered, a place where we walk out wealthy in the knowledge of how to navigate the waters. In order to answer these and other questions, we as Christian singles must first figure out what we are looking for. |

When I was 17, the Los Angeles Times printed a front page news article entitled: “Strength in the Face of Adversity.” That article explored how I managed to overcome a nightmarish childhood and still made it into the prestigious school, U.C. Berkeley. During my time at Berkeley, I worked hard to maintain a 4.3 GPA while managing a busy schedule combining several jobs and a long list of extracurricular activities including Editor in Chief and President of the honors society. I won’t go into the details but, suffice it to say, the LA Times found it newsworthy that I had accomplished such accolades because my life had really been that bad.
