Dear Diary,

I have a favorite sermon that I listen to frequently. That is, other than Dad's. I suppose though that since that's not Dad's livelihood anymore, I'm allowed to have other favorites too. That was always the case when it was Dad's livelihood, too, but I never thought about it before...

Anyway, if there's any good that can come from teaching 6th grade Math at an innercity school two hours away for a good four days, it's that you might happen upon a morning radio show called 'Truth For Life' Broadcasts. And the speaker for such broadcasts is a Scotsman from Cleveland named Alistair Begg. He's even apparently a film actor as well. But he has an easy voice to listen to and tells stories well.

At any rate, he did a series on relationships at some point. It was a two-part broadcast on what to look for in a future husband or wife, and what not to look for. And I have saved that particular podcast on my iPod and return to it frequently. It's always a nice little dating 'pick-me-up.' I begin to feel again like I have made the right decisions along the way as to who not to marry and even who to pursue, should I decide to be on that end.

I wish it was readily available so I could say, 'Find that sermon and give it a listen. You won't regret it!' But as I recall, it's not always on his list of available podcasts. If you do happen to find it, it's simply titled 'Relationships A & B.'

Try searching it out tomorrow...
