HOUSE PARTIES

Westside is trying to spark some house parties this month.

3-4 of them have popped up.

What's the big deal about a house party? Well, it gets people together. It gives people a chance to say hi, get to know someone new, or get to know someone better. We get to try some different food.

Meals and parties or sitting around tables or livings rooms have been the heart of families and communities for centuries. Stuff just happens when people hang out for an undetermined amount of time or an undetermined reason.

I think God has something to do with that.
I think God smiles when this happens.
He's created us for relationship, so relationship must give him joy in seeing his creation… relate.

I'll let you know how our party goes this Saturday.

CAUSE AND EFFECT: relationships

I've always had contact with young guys with questions and concerns about their future.
As a result, I've had almost equal contact with young women with the same questions.
Where these 2 genders cross is that usually the questions and concerns are about each other or how one's decisions or lifestyle has affected the other.

AM I TALKING IN PARABLES?

Examples:
One guy's lack of commitment is another girl's dilemma.
One girl's desire for security is another guy's fear.
One guy's desire for connection with little strings attached is another girl's confusion.
One girl's need for constant companionship is another guy's frustration.

I hope to try and explore some of these issues on my blog for anyone who needs to here it.

PLEASE COMMENT WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS - but be civil ;)
