| Rising fervor in the Middle EastIn the news today, Iran is testing mid-range missiles in the Persian Gulf.
Apparently it's for their defense. Such as is their nuclear program, which they claim is just going to be used for producing energy, in a region full of oil and gas.
Bush is again threatening war.
Apparently, a war in Afghanistan an a war in Iraq is not enough for him.

| ChoicePeople say smoking is a choice. But if you’re addicted to something, doesn’t that rule out choice?
No, because we all have the choice and the power to break that addiction. We also have the power to seek help to break that addiction.
As human beings, we are not powerless to fight temptation and addiction, whether they be or chemical or moral nature.
I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too! | | |
| Flirting with SinglenessI know a nice attractive girl that is single and looking. I'll bet there are loads of suitors fighting for the chance to date her. The only problem is that she's flirtatious with everybody. Her popularity soars, and her friends grow, but depth of relationships can suffer if not enough time is spent in a worthy place.
I guess that's the meaning of "settling down." To be able to move away from the party scene long enough to find a quality guy.

| Say what?My meaty brother, upon entering Sweet Tomatoes, a salad buffet- "Hey! Where's all the real food?!"
Me: "Hey, who wants to go to Club Sport (gym)?"
Jen, who likes to dance: "Did someone say club???" | | |
| Friends are Friends Forever?Many thoughts have been trespassing in my mind for this past week.
How do I live a life well lived? How can I help others along in the journey?
Are friends actually friends forever, or is it natural to welcome new ones into your life?
Over the weekend, I attended my high-school buddy and swim-mate's spectacular wedding.
Congrats to Chris and Steph! I had a great time, and I only wish that I could have helped out more.
 
Yesterday, I drove up to Berkeley to send off Pastor Manny and Sunny, my college spiritual counselors/ mentors.
They are living an exemplary life of faith, and are going to be moving to Texas to plant a new church. God is certainly meeting them there.
I was also happy to see all of my college buddies, with whom I have grown and matured in the faith. I really miss that group, where everyone has a radical vision and excitement for their life.
Now that I'm in the Southbay, I realize that I have friends spread out all over the place. It's hard, because I value each and every one of my friends.
One of my most valued treasures I learned in college was how to bond with my group of friends, and to grow deep and meaningful relationships.
During the wedding, the priest said that there are many types of love. He said that love without friendship is doomed to fail, and when applied to marriage, a marriage without friendship is doomed for divorce.
Conversely, a friendship with love is a beautiful thing. Through my experiences in this past week, the priest was right.
I'm still not sure about the questions above, but one thing I do know -- Friends, though separated, never lose their magic.
