Academy — film acting Emmy — television acting Grammy — music performance Tony — stage performance Pulitzer — newspaper journalism Peabody — radio and television broadcasting Quill — best books But is there an award for the best blog post of the year? I nominate this one.

This is the very best message I have ever heard or read on the topic of dating/courtship/relationships. It’s rather long — a series of 3 – 30 minute talks. When you first listen, you might think it doesn’t apply to your situation, but I encourage you to listen to the very end.
