I have so many questions. No real answers. This happens to me all the time. More and more it seems. Part of me likes it, but the rest of me realizes that it drives me crazy.
I realize that it has been too long since I've had a close friend talk with me late into the night. I don't mean by e-mail or phone or any of that. I mean actual human flesh and bones. I am not even too particular as to who this friend should be. As long as we can be honest about our questions about faith and life and Christ and love together I'm fine. I don't even necessarily want to find "answers"...I just want to think through out loud some thoughts with another person.
If you want to be that person, let me know. I'll meet you halfway.

About Me
- Stephen
- My name is Stephen, and I am currently pursuing a doctorate in clinical psychology. My background is varied: I moved around as a child, went to Taylor University and Trinity International University for my schooling previous schooling, and have a deep passion for adolescents, families, wilderness therapy, and international travel. I'd like to do something that involves my passions for learning, counseling, traveling, and faith. I love to read, so you may find some book reviews here, as well as thoughts on Christianity and spirituality or a story from my life with my wife, Joy, and our dog, Colby Jack. Thanks for stopping by!

I'm sorry, what the h-e- double-hockey-sticks are you talking about!?! If you can't talk to your bride about this stuff already, then you need to resolve this, Yesterday. Your bride is going to be flesh of your flesh, you gotta be able to talk about everything. If not, don't think it's too late to reevaluate. People DON'T change. Trust me.
I really enjoyed reading your blog! and I totally know what you're talking about. It's just a longing to share life with someone and struggles and concerns, joys, fears, questions, all that good stuff!
I think the person who blogged before me may be over reacting a bit! You sure can find that type of bond with Joy but sharing with others is good too. Hope you're doing well! :)
Wow. No one reads my blog and then I write one little thing and there are three comments. It's interesting that they're all anonymous so I can't actually talk to anyone about what they wrote. I shall respond to the second one only. I actually do talk to my fiancee about everything, including the stuff that is currently on my mind and was on my mind when I wrote this. I understand that she will be "flesh of my flesh," but there is also something to be said for other friendships, especially male-male relationships. I believe one of God's greatest gifts to us is relationships, and certainly marriage is within that, but I don't think that's where it ends. I never said anything about Joy and hoping that she would change nor did I express any doubt that I couldn't talk to her about anything. If you would to dialogue, feel free to post again or email me. And if you wanna give a name, that's always appreciated too. Thanks for reading...
I read your blog.
I read your blog, but generally I dont' comment... ~Melia
