The Golden Prayer

Sorry folks you get another one from the vault. I wish I could get some of your funny stories because I know that would up my pool of funny dating experiences/ funny things people say to you to help you in your dating life, but until that happens, I will continue to draw upon my own experiences that are diminishing as I use more and more of them. But here is a good one. Once when I was in college I had a roommate who made a goal to get married. She was very ambitious in her goal and at the end of April made her goal for August. Not just to get meet a guy but to meet a guy and get married in less that for months! Well I was a little skeptical about her goal but it made her happy and she went home for the summer with something to work towards. Well I think it was about the end of June or the beginning of July when she still hadn't found anyone, and then out of the blue when it seemed all was lost, she met him. The man of her dreams and they were engaged after like one date and one week of knowing each other. (I might be exaggerating a little but she really did pull off the August wedding). Of course this made her the expert on dating and if you just set a goal and pray about it, it will happen. We talked on the phone several times that summer and soon she was telling us how wonderfully her plan had worked and that we really should try it. One day, however, she offered me a remarkable service, a offering I will never forget, she said SHE would start to pray for me. Wow! Thanks! I thought, if you pray for me I might finally get married. You have the GOLDEN prayers, the ones that get answered whereas mine are just the mediocre, not really heard or answered kind, the ones that just get laughed at and thrown aside. I told her of course she could pray for me, (especially if she was going to use her magic prayers) Well now nearly seven years later I still have the traditional goal that THIS August will be the one and that golden prayer will finally be answered. I really did appreciate her concern and care for me I just really have enjoyed calling her prayer golden. We all want the one with golden prayers to pray for us right. I just should have been specific in telling her which years August....
