Even though today is Valentines Day, I treat this day as if it were any other day of the year. Ironically this is the only evening this week that I do not have a commitment of sorts, so just gonna chill out at home. I know for some single adults, this can be one of the most difficult days of the year. In fact, Feb 14 ranks number 3 (behind Christmas and Thanksgiving) for the amount of suicides committed by single adults.
I, however am not one of those. I'm at a good place in my life right now, and content. This day is also named after a Christian. (St. Valentine) Maybe someday I'll have a special "Valentine" in my life. It would also mean changing my lifestyle a bit.
In terms of church attendance, I'm kind of a "nomad", a sojourner who attends at 3 churches at different times. Willow Creek, Parkview church, and Community Christian Church. The latter 2 I attend on Saturdays, and save Willow Creek for Sunday mornings (both Barrington and downtown Chicago campuses).
Happy Valentines Day!
