I Rest My Case

[mjmcmillan]

And this has what to do with you saying it's useless to pray to God and all He ever tells you is NO and yet you still go out and fornicate (your words not mine)?

I begin to think it is useless to make sense of something that is insensible. I also begin to think God knows what He is doing when he says "No" in a case like this. Hate to say it, but there it is.

Then again, sometimes it just all comes together and it seems you can do no wrong.

You are right. GOD has his way of doing things that does not make any sense to us.
When I was a child,while reading the Book of Exodus,I could not understand why GOD told Moses,to tell Pharaoh,"Let My People Go!"
Yet,GOD hardened Pharaoh's heart so Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go.
GOD has been good to me. I have been a success in many ares of my life.
The happiest time of my life is when I am traveling,performing(for secular productions as well as my church productions),and when I am at sporting events(go 49ers,five Super Bowl wins!!!!!)

By the way, last year,I was promised to be put on the day shift when an opening occured. When an opening occured late last year,I was not put on the day shift. Therefore,I am unable to do my Drama Ministry at my church because I still have to work the evening shift,which affects my social life as well. So,I missed doing Christmas last year,and Easter this year.

My romantic life is the only area of my life in which I FEEL that I have been cheated. For example. when I was in the U.S. Navy,EVERYTIME that I got my orders to be transfered to another base,THAT was when I would finally meet someone local who liked me. One lady at my church likes me. I asked her out for coffee a few weeks ago. We both liked each other's company. She said that she had a wonderful time. BUT...she told me that she will be leaving at the end of March. She is moving to Arizona.

That song by the Rolling Stones is so,so true. Part of the lyrics are:
"You CAN'T always get what you want
You CAN"T always get what you want
You CAN"T always get what you want
BUT if you try sometimes
you just might find
you get what you need"

Maybe God won't satisfy you in the area of your love life because then you wouldn't need Him anymore?

That could be a strong possibilty.

Yes,it is SO easy for me to believe that GOD delivered Daniel from the lion's den and parted the Red Sea for Moses. However,you would agree that women are much more complex than lions and large bodies of water.
Therefore,if a woman accepts me, who is my type,THAT would truly be a miracle.

describe your "type" again?

I am at work now.Therefore I cannot pull up from my home computer that has my previous attributes that I find attractive in a woman.

That being she must be a christian,smart,easy to hold a conversation with, without her "spacing out" on me. Someone who has a lot going for herself,artistic,kind,accepting,emtionally stable,slender to medium build,(I cannot tell you why because it would not be appropiate to post it on this forum),has a good sense of humor, smoke free,illeagal drug-free,well-traveled, sensual,affectionate,makes out with enthusiasm,and one who WANTS me and not NEED me. In other words,someone on the same intellectual and economic level as myself.

If we have a long term relationship,and I have to say "yes dear" to her,well.....she had BETTER be a smart woman that has her stuff together!
P.S. Hope Miles does not mind me borrowing his top 5 qualities that he is looking for in the opposite sex.
They are mine also.:

Pleasant to be around. We should enjoy each other's company.

- Intelligent. Not necessarily book smart or street smart, but understanding and insightful.

- Similar level of fitness. It would be nice to do things like go for walks and ride bikes(swim) together.

- Compatible values. The way she treats others, how she handles money, theological beliefs, personal ethics etc.

- I think she's pretty. She doesn't have to be a super model, but I should find her attractive.

No,no chips,I must cut back on carbs in order to lose weight.

I suppose some sort of list is necessary. Not too long, but probably a little longer than "has a pulse, fogs the mirror".
