So there's been a lot of chatter in the CTI circles about relationships. Who's going with who from what team, who finally proposed to who, which CTI couple from what year just had a baby, etc.

It's interesting to see people's reactions to these things. Most of the time, it's a mixture of "Wow. I never saw this coming." and "YAYYYYYY!!!!"

It's amazing to see what the news of a relationship change will do to someone's facebook wall the moment it goes "facebook official." Someone who has had relatively no chatter suddenly finds them self with 87 new notifications.

What I'm getting at is, why is our reaction not the same when someone comes to know the Lord? I mean, yes, we "celebrate" baptisms and confirmations... but why is it that most of the time, it comes off as a dull tedious task to get through?

The other thing that I noticed is the reaction of some of the single people. I've seen this happen a few times. When they hear of the relationship, they are usually left wondering why they're not in a relationship and wanting that.

Shouldn't the same happen when someone accepts the Lord? Shouldn't the world see the change and wonder what they're missing out on? Shouldn't the world want that relationship with the Lord?

Anyways, back to studying for finals.
