Breaking Up By Text Message Is Wrong!

This week Carrie Underwood, the 2005 American Idol winner, split with her long-time boyfriend, Chace Crawford, by sending him a text message. Can you imagine! Are relationships of such little value that a simple text message is all that is needed to end them?

How can anyone see the hurt and pain in a person they purported to love by using a text message to end that relationship? What lessons can be learned about the failed relationship when you rely on a text message to end it? How can a person grow emotionally in his or her ability to sustain and enhance a loving relationship by using a text message to end it?

Relationships, even those that fail, are too important to be handled with the detachment of a text message or an email. Love and other human relationships are fragile and need to be handled with a gentle human touch, even when the love ends.

People who enter into a loving relationship and then value it so little as to dispose of it with a simple text message, have lost their opportunity to learn how to make love last and how to take responsibility for being in love. We can only remind them that some day the same can happen to them. Having the courage to end a relationship face-to-face is the only honest thing to do. To do less is to minimize the value of being in love and in the establishment of an intimate human relationship with another.

There is an old saying – “ What goes around, comes around.”

The Seasons of Baseball and Love

Spring has sprung! In the Spring, all things are possible, every team can win the Pennant, and love is born! In so many ways, Spring is a metaphor for love, and hope, and the boundless promise of the dawn of a new season. In so many ways, the game of baseball speaks to all of these. And lest you think we are baseball fans – we are!

First, do you remember that old familiar song, “Take me out to the ball game?” According to some reputable sources it is the third most sung song in America. One and two are “Happy Birthday” and “The Star Spangled Banner,” respectively. We can find no evidence to dispute this notion.

To find out how the seasons of baseball and love are intertwined read the full article.
