Rousseau was a flaming imbecile. I will not agree with his lifestyle, and I will continue to find issues with his inconsistent lifestyle/views.
I am distracted, and I do not want to be. We are talking large scale, not small.
I have been pouting all day about my singleness. I take a day like this every once in a while and just really feel like crying. The whole day. I picked the wrong day, or possibly the right one? People seemed to throw it back in my face a few times, the fact that I am single (because in my world, on these days, it is all about me...not anyone else). Then I went to Discovery at the BCM tonight. It was about relationships and what to do with yourself when you are single. It was taught by a 34 year old, single woman. She has been in 14 weddings. She has never been married. I wanted to cry, but the message was meant for me to hear. It didn't sound nice. I didn't want to listen, I wanted to leave...but really I wanted to stay. I wanted to yell about people not understanding, but I am pretty sure this woman understands more than any other. She has not resigned herself to being single the rest of her life, but she is content...not very, but relatively.
I am going to wrestle with this for a while.

Yeah me too.
I thought you might be interested in this sermon:
Can Jesus Be Trusted with Your Singleness?
This is Mitchell Dees, the youth pastor, from Redeemer (the church where Ricky Jones preaches now). This was preached during marriage sermon series, that will explain his first illustration.
Ricky preached a similar sermon when I was at State and it was very encouraging to me.
Sorry you have so many posts from me. I messed up on the link twice so I removed those other comments.
