Watched 'Return of the King' recently. It was a great movie and a befitting finale for a trilogy and the works of JRR Tolkien. All except dat some people complained dat it was too gay (especially the action between Samwise and Frodo) *Sighhh*Some ppl just need to grow up

However, that kind of fellowship existed even in the bible. 1 Samuel 18:1-4 speaks about 2 friends, David and Jonathan, who despite opposition developed a bond of friendship. So deep it was the Jonathan loved David as his own soul. (yea, they're not gay u know)

1 Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore. 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4 And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

Singleness is a time where you learn more to serve God and also a time of building meaningful friendships with ppl from both sexes. (heh, got that from some book I read in Canaanland today) Many times, we Christians think as long as we get attached (or hitched) with that someone, we're going to live happily ever after. But what happens if the feelings run out and you find yourself married to someone you can't relate to?

Building friendships with people of the same sex not only teaches us relationship skills, it also helps fill the gap/void that comes from a God given desire to be attached. Together comes giving, sacrifice and finally, loving your friend as much as you love your soul (I'm not gay u know, so you dun have to worry). It could only help us later on in life, even in marriage (what? You think you only stare at her the whole day round and say I love you and it's going to work?)

Now, anyone for a third round of Return of the King?
