at the well.

this last weekend pastor kirk finished a series entitled "soulmates".  things to look for in a spouse, spiritually, emotionally, etc. etc.  it was a great series.  i learned things that i wish i could have heard about 8 months ago, but so goes life.

he spoke of meeting your spouse at the"well" (church), which being a believer in Christ that's where you should meet them.  there is no better place.  for me though, i'm afraid i will have to find someone from another "well".  here's why......several years ago i heard a statement from some of the women at our church and recently (a month ago) heard the statement again.  and yes, i know exactly the ones who said these words... 

 "there are no good guys/men left at harvest" 

now, the first time i heard this i was single and took great offense to this.  the second time i heard this i had just come out of a divorce and, well, took offense again.  so riddle me this.  if this is the pretentious and tawdry attitude of the women of the church.  why should, would, could myself or any of the other single men there want to ask any of the women out?  it's almost as if they have already made up there minds about the men before ever getting to know them (i could go on a longer rant on this subject but i won't).  

before i was married there was several singles that would hang out on the weekends.  sometimes even during the week.  we would talk, play stupid games, just have fun with one another.  so how is it that none of those people ever dated?  maybe the guys didn't ask enough (or at all), maybe the girls need to pull there noses from out of the air......who knows.  i think they would be pleasantly surprised if they would see what was right in front of them. 

if God so chooses for me to be with one of those women then so be it.  there's really only one that i'm curious about but she intimidates the crap out of me and has done so since i met her.  the weird thing is i don't intimidate easily......hmm.   i like to think that i'm ready to date again but even trying to get close to someone is somewhat awkward right now.   i'm just going to wait for Gods timing.  looking back, i may have rushed the first one.......oops.

so it begins

i'm not a blogger.  i don't even consider myself a writer.  i think i rant more than anything.  i guess maybe it's just good to get things off your chest somehow....  i use to write in journals, but going back through them, all the post were petty and juvenile.  hopefully these post, few and far between, will be a bit more constructive.  that's all i have right now.
