He’s attractive, wanted to be married and he had a job. In fact, he was a Pastor. He had plenty of attractive women interested in him. However, no one felt quite right. There was not one single women he wanted to ask to become his wife. Was something wrong with him? Was he just too picky? That is exactly what his close friends were saying. His 20’s came and went and so did his 30’s. Now, this not so young anymore Pastor, wondered whether he would ever feel “free” to marry anyone. During what may have been the 100th time of him seeking the Lord regarding marriage and the answer to the question, “who is my wife?” he finally received an answer. The answer was his old friend’s ex-wife with two teenage children. I am sure there was a celebration because he finally had an answer to his decades old question but after the celebration he had to think, wait… what?!
