I was talking with my roommate today, about nothing in particular, when all of a sudden it hit me. It wasn't something that just all of a sudden came out of nowhere, because I had come to this realization before. However, it could have been the significance of the factor that finally weighed in within the walls of my heart.

How can someone do that? How can they forget the most important day of their life? For some people forgetting an anniversary, or something like that may seem important. Yet, I'm talking about something more; something bigger. Others may think the most important day of their life is when they graduated this college with this degree, but for a Christian that day is drastically changed to one that most people might not even notice. It is noticable when a person turns 16 because they are now legal to drive, or when a person gets married, as signified by the ring they wear.

But for the Christian, it is much different. True for some an outward change is noticed, however this is not always true. It is typically much more implicit, and you must be close to the person to notice the change.

By now, I'm sure it's clear to you fellow bloggers that I can't remember what day I was baptized. I can't tell you about my first "marriage" day. You do understand that your baptism is a wedding ceremony of sorts. Just like love in this humanly realm is a choice, so is love in the spiritual realm.

I can't wait for the day, to choose to love someone forever. I'm actually terrified of it, however I'm anxiously awaiting that fateful day. I know I will remember it after it happens. I know I'll be different in one way or another, and I know that people will be able to tell that I'm happy because of my situation.

I only wish I would have realized the importance of my first wedding day sooner. I know that when I was baptized it was important, and I knew what it was for, yet I know I was not changed or transformed in any way. I had not chosen to truly love Christ. For if I had, a change would have taken place, marking that day in my mind. As of right now, I don't even know what year of school I was in for sure. I can guess, but that is all it would be.

Welp, for those of you out there, choose to love your wife (if you have one), and choose to love your Christ (because you do have one). Be transformed by the awesome power of an unconditional love.

You know what really grinds my gears...

Tall people who sit in front of shorter people in chapel, or some social setting. I've been short for pretty much my entire life, and this has bugged me for most of those years. Now I don't get mad when there are no other seats, but I do get frusterated when seats are available elsewhere yet the tallest person in the chapel always decides to sit in front of the shortest person around. Why can't they just sit one or two seats over...it's not that big of a deal. Just scooch over a seat or two and everyone is still happy. Seriously though, they will be able to see no matter where they are, so what is the big deal and moving a few seats over.

Also it is annoying when they lean their head one way or another. I constantly find myself having to adjust to see around the tall person's big, fat head. It really is quite annoying.

So I have a plea for all you taller people out there. Will you look around and show some common courtesy? If you see one of your shorter brothers or sisters do the Christian thing and move over. It's really just common courtesy, but I'll play the Christian card if I have too. So please be kind and think of others before your own tall, selfish self.
