More Patience, More Grasshoppah!

Seriously. No phone call all day long. What's wrong with men?

It's not like I haven't been here before. But my requirement is a guy who wants to go out with me bad enough to make an effort to talk with me.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

I really needed to get a grip.

My grip today came in the form of Joe, who, out of the blue, gave me some very sage and very biblical advice. After communicating the business we needed to do, he said something which made me believe that he was dissing his marriage. Something like "I wish I could be happy, but I've got four kids, so I'm not going anywhere..."

Of course, I kinda freaked out because I didn't want to start down that road again. So I mentioned how important it is for us to seek counseling, work toward similar goals, and be good parents to the children.

Joe said "Look at Adam... His dad was perfect and Adam still was a weak and ordinary human being." That made me smile, because I'd never thought of it that way.

Forty-five minutes later, we finished talking, he gave me tons of dating advice, I gave him tons of "what not to do in a marriage" advice, and then said goodbye.

Thanks Jesus, for Duckies!
