This always seams to be a big issue in dating, well at least it is for me. I’ve heard many times before from people, “why do you always insist on dating a guy who is of the same faith as you?”, and my answer is this:
In the dating world, isn’t having similar interests always high up there on our lists when it comes down to the opposite sex? If religion is very important to you, don’t you want a partner that shares your same beliefs? Well that’s what it is for me. I’m a strong Christian and love God very much; so yes, I do want to date a Christian guy. God and my Christian faith is VERY important to me and I want to date someone who shares that same belief as I do.
Call me picky or whatever you want; but I only have two big rules for me when it comes down to dating: 1: I would like the man I date to be a Christian, and 2: That he be older then me, but no more then lets say 7 years. That’s it. Now I’m not judge mental at all, I just believe if it’s an important part of your life, then you should share that with your partner.
So just as if you’re looking for your partner to also like sports, the outdoors, going to the movies ect. don’t you think God should be a part of that as well? I’ve seen many relationships with different faiths, and how they are always knocking heads with each other because they both believe in different religions; and unfortunately, they don‘t last very long. Now I have also seen where couples share the same religion, and the head knocking is quite low and they last a lot longer.
God wants us to have a loving relationship with our other half, AND with Him. He created us and what makes us unique and why we have these interests.
So that’s my thought for the day. Sláinte, and God bless! = )

Home Is Where The Heart Is
You’ve heard the expression “Home is where the heart is”; well it’s very true. Even though I was born and raised in VA, it’s not where my heart is. While walking down by Market Square tonight, I looked up and saw the clock tower and how the light was hitting it and the pink clouds set behind it. It reminded me of where I call home, and how much I miss it.
Up there, where there are more cows then people, you can be in the country and city all at once, where the people are polite and never in a rush because they stop to smell the roses and say hello as you walk by, one of the few places I know where it’s not uncommon for a moose to walk down Main St, and most importantly, that’s where my heart is.
You might me wondering by now where that is exactly. Well it’s about 540 miles North of Washington, DC in a little town known as Montpelier, VT. A lot of my family lives up there and I’ve even lived there for 9 months, and it’s one of the best places that I’ve ever been too. It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been there, and I’m planning a trip to go up real soon. If you’re ever in the area, you should stop by and have a cup of coffee and walk around town. It’s such a little hippie town, and everyone there is so down to earth and real. Not to mention it’s one of the prettiest states I’ve ever been to.
The maple farms, and wood smoke from the houses, the way the leaves look in the fall, the never ending snow in the winter, all the great places to go hiking and camping; it’s home to me. I mean, where else can you see Chris Thile sitting on a bench down town playing his mandolin and just hanging out? Just so many things that I love about that place, and how I miss it. Well I just thought that I would put that here before I’m off to bed for the night. Sláinte, and God bless! = )

And so it begins….
So the creation of my blog begins on this cold and rainy Friday night. So first let me just say hi, and thanks for reading. With that said, I wanted to create this blog and to write about things that are weighing on my mind. Very often, I will lie awake at night, and a thought will pop into my head. Maybe it was something I saw earlier that day, a conversation I had with a loved one or friend, or running to fast in the airport and almost splattered against the sliding doors (long story). ; - )
Whatever the thought might be, I want to jot it down before I forget. As it says in the header: “An old school point of view, living in a modern society”; that is just what I am, and what I like to write about. So without further ado, I give to you my first post of, The Rambling Brook. Sláinte, and God bless! = )
