In the midst of summer...

Summer is here and in full force.  What happened to June?  It was lived, now it is in the past.  Friends, I gave on-line dating another round.  A close girl friend and I decided to give it another go one late evening (why does it always seem the sporadic decisions happen late at night?). So far I've been on one date and have been matched with a few friends.  I have found that when matched with your friends it can be quite hilarious, awkward, try the dating process, or it is never spoken of.  One attitude that has increased, is judgement. Can these dating sites make you even more pickier??  Or is it wrong to be picky?? Honestly, friends I don't think you can be too picky.  Now don't get me wrong I know that there is no perfect man out there, but a girl has to keep her standards.  I think what worries me is how I go about judging the profiles.  The match may not be for me but they are still a wonderfully created human.  I was convicted of this today as I was reading the devotional Jesus Calling - Enjoying Peace in His presence - by Sarah Young.  Open your heart as your read the entry for July 3. "My Children make a pastime of judging one another -and themselves.  But I am the only capable Judge, and I have acquitted you through My own blood.  Your acquittal came at the price of my unparalleled sacrifice.  That is why I am highly offended when I hear My children judge one another or indulge in self-hatred.  If you live close to Me and absorb My Word, the Holy Spirit will guide and correct you as needed. There is no condemnation for those who belong to me" (Luke 6:37; 2 Timothy 4:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 8:1).

I hope and pray that you all have a wonderful 4th of July!
