Kate and Tom

There are ample reasons I consistently choose to sit in the rooting section for purely endeavored LOVE, even when its flower surprisingly blooms in the most unlikely of barren fields, or in the dead of winter.

I am actively resisting the bandwagon urge to choose cynicism when commenting on this one. The ever-bizarre Scientology aspect of it all nowithstanding, I believe that there continue to emerge incredible, lasting, loving relationships that defy the odds against them, and sincerely wish them the very best in their endeavor toward that goal. After all, it is these love stories that inspire us with their continued triumphs and perseverance through trials by fire, thereby refining and deepening commitment, love, and the power of the human heart. Who knows if this relationship will become worthy to be included in that elite group? Only time will tell, but I choose to put my money on the hope that it could be - knowing that love exists in unconventional packaging often and that NOTHING is larger or beyond the power of God to transform for His glory and purpose. Critical to me is the resistance with all my might the poisonous cynicism that is a far-too automatic response for the vast majority of us these days. It is far easier to be cynical than to be hopeful. But when has THAT criteria ever daunted me? :)

Here's to hoping. And to believing in God, through whom all things are possible.
