Today is BLACK WEDNESDAY - otherwise known as Valentine's Day. There is nothing wrong with the day itself (Other than the materialistic, money making stuff) - but to people who are single in life the day really SUCKS! Everywhere you turn at this time of year it is LOVE LOVE LOVE! Even TV is all romantic and mushy.
To the single people it is like a slap in the face! Seriously for people who really want to be in love and aren't it is terrible. I can't wait for this day to be over and it will be smooth sailing until Christmas. Well - except for my birthday this year. I would have been happy for this day to have been just skipped over.
Today I did celebrate V-Day with Dallas and my nieces and nephew. I took them to DQ for lunch and ice cream. But other than that I hate Valentine's Day. I used to love it as a kid - but it is a huge day that reminds you that you are alone and unloved. A day that many people I think would want to do without.

That's why I tend to focus on peace, justice and reconciliation during Black Wednesday. To focus also on loving enemies, those not like you, and the grieving and dying. It gets the holiday away from just dealing with friends and family. Jesus mentioned even that loving friends and family wasn't enough.
Hey Lori,
Thanks for the comments you have been leaving on my blogs! It sure is nice to hear from you!
As we know now, just Dion and I are coming to the city for the night of Mar 2. He has another meeting. Maybe we can hook up?! I'll call you ahead of time this time. :-)
