A Prayer to My Future Wife

Oh love of my life here on earth. Wait for me. Remain pure for me as I will remain pure for you. Oh dearest, I know that you are wonderful and beautiful and moral even though I haven't met you yet. Only God knows when and where I will meet you. I long for that day and the day I finally can take you home to be my wife. To live the precious life that Solomon told about and to live it with you. It will be so wonderful. Beyond comprehension. I would give my life for you, give my all. I will love you with all my heart. Only one thing I require is that, even though I know you will love me and be willing to give your life for me, you must love God more. Only if that love exists can our love be complete. No matter what we do, we know God will never forsake us and if we never forsake Him, then we can never forsake each other. Oh, my darling, my love, I long for you so, just as you long for me. Wait my dear, wait.

A Squirrelly Time

Okay so at work I was going to take out the trash to the huge dumpster. I looked down into it and there was a squirrel inside trying to get out. This has happened before, but this was the first time the squirrel couldn't get out. It tried to do a Jackie Chan thing by bouncing off of one wall of the dumpster and jumping out, but it missed every time by half a foot. After a dozen attempts it stopped and hid under a box. It didn't listen to my commands to get out of there, so I felt obligated to help it out. I got a long-handled broom and stuck it in there. I moved the box it was under out of the way and it attempted to jump out again and failed. It then just sat there. I yelled at it to jump on the handle and get out but it was stubborn so I bumped it with the broom until it got the idea. It then tried to shimmy up the pole like a bear up a tree but the broom was slippery and it slid down as much as it shimmied so I lifted up the broom and it slid within a couple inches of my hand but didn't move a muscle. I then brought the broom out of the dumpster and it still hung on. It continued hanging until I shook the broom. It then jumped off and raced up a tree. Funny huh?
