A reflection on Psalm 123
Before we get started, please read my previous article, here; To my fellow Catholics: Not all Protestants are the same, check out my latest on Locals, here; Coffee and Christianity: Episode 97: Taking a wife, and please, if you'd like to help me out, go here; Help with medical bills
Hey Chick-Fil-a! I think we've actually met before. But, I saw your profile on (unnamed Catholic dating site), and, I noticed a lot of things about you that I think we can talk about.
I saw that your mom died when you were in your early 20s. My father died when I was nine years old.
I can tell by your pictures, that you seem to have some type of disability. That's okay, I'm autistic.
(And, you're still very pretty).
I've also noticed that you agree to all Church teachings which are listed.
As someone who is pro-life and has a very negative opinion of contraception, I'm glad to see. Those are non negotiable.
Another thing that interests me is that you are a fiction writer, that's awesome!
I'm not much of one, as I have trouble coming up with names, but, I have written some short stories.
I also read that you've been a CCD teacher and that you want to be a wife and a mother. As someone who's always wanted to be a father and a husband, I have a lot of respect for that.
I would love to send you a message, but, I don't have a premium account, and I don't know when you were last on.
$10/month is a pretty big investment for something I might only use once.
Having said that, if, by some miracle, you see this, don't be afraid to talk to me (if you have a premium account, please send a message)! I think we'll get along.
You can find me most weekends at St. Mary Help of Christians in Aiken. I'm not too far from you. If you're ever in Aiken, look for the long haired hippie guy with a limp and a moustache (I do intend on shaving my beard, I'm not a hippie, I just look like one).
Well, I have to wrap this up, as someone who very much believes this point of dating is marriage, I leave you with this,
“Then the man said, “This Is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh; and she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man”.
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh”. (Genesis 2:23-24)
“And now, it is not because of lust that I am taking this sister of mine, but with sincerity. Grand that she and I may find mercy that we may grow old together.” And they said together “Amen, Amen”. Then they went to sleep for the night”. (Tobit 8:7-9).
Sincerely, Adam Charles Hovey.
