(Sorry friends, for the delay in my response. I'm dropping the ball, here!)

Meredith, I always appreciate your perspective on your parents' divorce. This rings very true: "...even though life after divorce worked out for our family, it wasn’t fun getting to that place." It's just a refreshingly honest, balanced and realistic way to view a less-than-ideal life circumstance. Thanks.

Steve, that's wonderful that you haven't felt like God has somehow let you down through all of this! And you're right—it's always good to reserve the right to feel a bit peeved with God down the road. He seems to take it pretty well. :)

Trina, you are definitely good at seeing potential connections and finding organic, comfortable ways to nurture them into being. I like the "matchmaker" concept. So many possibilities!

Dave, I love how you put this: "It is a Journey: For the Travelers, Godspeed and learn well. For the Watchers, Listen and Love." As you can obviously tell, I've had some frustrating experiences with people who broadly share opinions without first getting any real information (let alone experience). Thanks for your sensitivity—always.
