People meeting peopleBy David Horne I could sit and watch it all day … people meeting people in public! I have a passion for coffee and one of my regular haunts is a Gloria Jeans cafe in middle of the local shopping centre. From here I can survey the mass of people going by as I sip my espresso. I love watching and listening to the interactions around me - the chance encounter, the organised meeting, the families out for a shoppping excursion, the lovers strolling hand in hand. I love to watch the way people interact with each other. The eye contact, the vocal patterns, the smile and animation that occurs irrelevant of culture or age. It makes me realise how gregarious and relation oriented we are. relationships are so central to us - we seek them, we cherish them, we are fulfilled by them. And its no wonder since God has made us this way. After all the very essence of God is relationship - Father, Son and Spirit in such a perfect relationship as to be called one. And its no wonder that humanity, who have been created in his image, should share this deep desire for relationship with each other. But its not just relationships with each other, God has also made us to have a relationship with him. Just as we find fulfilment, worth and purpose in our own most intimate relationships, so a real relationship with God, our creator, gives us utimate fulfilment, sense of worth and purpose.

Wow, I feel exactly the same. I’m always watching people, wherever I am, smiling if they see me. Sounds a bit stalkery but it’s not.. I just love people and I love to watch them. ...and then I wonder if anyone is watching me.. *shifty eyes* Great site this is David. I think I looked at it when I got home from KYCK but then forgot about it, but our Youth Leader pointed it out to us again the other day and I just suddenly remembered now and here I am, reading your blogs. *needs more reading time*
Yes…
