An Addendum to Burning Your Lists
I’ve gotten quite a few ‘outside of the wordcast world’ comments on this post - so I want to have and addendum to make a few things clearer. I’d like to restate my first point by adding a positive:
- Burn your lists AND listen to your friends: If you have close friends who are walking with God, you really don’t need a list. They will give you the list in their feedback, comments, probing questions, etc. The people who know you best will know whether your ’special friend’ is someone who will challenge you, is compatible, etc. Friends are great, lists aren’t. Friends make you mad because they tell you the truth - lists smile at you and reassure you of things about yourself that may not be true.
Also: If you absolutely MUST have list just keep it about values, NOT about personality, physical type, etc. - and like I said, ‘fiery christian’ covers 80% of the territory already.
Kyle, I love you.
