Love Actually
I remember the days when Anthony was youth pastor and all our eyes were covered with the wool of the impressionable - especially when it came to relationships. I mainly watched from the sidelines and chewed on leftovers bits of hearsay but i do remember him ruling that whole arena with an iron fist. The logic was of course to remove as many distractions from a teenager's life so one could focus all energies toward the grand pursuit of God.
Otherworldly - the only word that comes to mind when i reminisce. I'm sure that equation has changed very much. Especially now that most of us can vividly describe the wonderful colors a moist tongue can paint. And that particularly, we are all witnesses to the awkward truth of life-long singlehood. Life is unfair and so is God. Life is unjust and so is....
Think i'll draw the line there because that simple isn't true. I may not know how to describe it yet but i'm sure there's a subtle difference. So maybe i'll merely wax lyrical about the erosion of our ideals. Shall i lament or celebrate? hmm... quite the brain teaser.
Two things that will tip the scale on either side:
1, The realisation you're only ever going to be a spiritual parent
2, You taste the delirious joys of intimacy
=) oh the terrible choices and decisions we are put through...
