SIGN OF THE TIMES
Posted by william on Aug 16th, 2009
On my way home from church I came to a corner with a flimsy sign asking GOT LOVE? in big letters. Then underneath it gave a singles website. Seemed like a strange vision, coming from church. I thought: Well, I’ve got God’s love, more or less. But that’s not in their ballpark. Then I thought Well, I’ve got something akin to love for a certain lady I admire from a distance. Again, not their idea of love.
An old Army buddy did a lot of dating out of single clubs, so I have a little bit of an idea of how that stuff goes. ‘Love’ doesn’t seem like the right word. Maybe ’struggle’ is closer. Or ‘hope’. But I suppose a certain amount of it turns out as love.
