Meet Christopher Henderson. Kit to his friends and admirers. Hendo to the jocks who worship him. Butt-head (or Topher) to me and my best friend. AKA, the dillweed of a human being. Meet Alexander Henderson. Ander to the people who put up with his skinny ass. Hendo Jr to the jocks sucking up to Topher. Best Friend Extraordinaire to me. AKA, the love of my life. Meet Addison MacGuire. Addy to whoever asks because (honestly) what kind of name is Addison? Addy Mac to anyone who sees her doing stupid sh*t. And well…me to me. AKA, the girl you don’t date because... Well, who knows. So, what happens when you take one tomboy, one best friend, and that best friend’s stupidly hot, popular older brother with a bad attitude? That’s right, you get a story worthy of a teen rom-com. Because, sometimes real life is a bitch. Sometimes the only guy to come between you and the love of your life is the one guy you weren’t supposed to fall in love with. But, how do you tell the difference between love, lust and friendship? Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.

Our society reveres education. Teaching the mechanics of knowledge, like math, English, and science occupies much of the public schools teaching time. But life is not about earning all the money you possibly can. How do you measure success? What is the purpose of life? These questions must be pondered before one stops wandering through life, and starts walking the path of life which leads to the greatest reward a person can possibly receive, the gift of eternal life. Matthew 6:19-21 is a directive of the Creator of life pointing us to the path of life we should be walking, and working for the treasure that will last for all eternity, laying up treasure in heaven. For where our treasure is, there will be our heart. Can you think of a greater reward in heaven, after meeting your Savior, than to welcome each member of your family into heaven when time on earth ends for each?
