The Dating "Game"
So because
A: Today marks 99 days until my wedding
and
B: Because no one seems to like posts on bible verses that resemble exhortative sermons
and finally
C: Everyone loves to talk about dating
I am going to devote a couple of entries here to my story and the stories of others. I know there are many that do not agree with the "gcm-approved" dating method. So I would like to open this up so that you can share your or someone else's story that worked but may have completely circumscribed the aforementioned method.
So here goes.... (The cliff notes version)
(Start whiny violin - fade to fuzzy flashback)
Two years ago I found myself going to Leadership Training in Colorado for the 3rd time. I still am not sure why I went other then the fact that most of those I was leading went.
Through an act of God I convinced those in authority to let me be a band leader (commonly referred to as worship leader).
The powers that be gave to me a certain female singer from Wisconsin to be apart of this fledgling musical creation.
(Enter Christie Gibson stage left a medium to short quiet young woman of 22 with chin length chestnut hair, large flashing intelligent eyes, and a voice so beautiful that it could certainly calm a horde of pillaging Vikings.)
Needless to say that I was immediately captivated.
All I needed to do now was to finesse her with my charm, rugged good looks and boundless wit. Actually all it took was for me to make a humorous comment to one of the balding speakers about a certain obscure biblical passage in Kings referring to some youths a female bear and Elisha’s bald head.
So we spent the next 3 months worshiping God together every week. And trying not to act interested.
Cutting out a lot of great tidbits of needless fluff we find ourselves at LT closing ceremonies. Christie sneaks a picture of me drinking from pitcher and I try several times to nonchalantly request her email address so that we can keep in touch but I fail miserably and retreat mostly out of fear. It seems as if we are destine to never see each other again…
(To be continued)
