at church

so, leeser and i were able to go to church today. i am not going to go off on any tangents, i need to get straight to the point. so, we have these little green prayer cards at our church. anyone can take one and write a concern or prayer they want to bring forward. the idea is that the congregation as a whole can hear the memebers' thoughts and also pray for whatever is on the card. usually they say things like, "Lord God, please send me patience and direction as I try to decide whether or not to accept a new job in New Mexico. I'm not sure whether to uproot my family. I need your guidance." or maybe more like, "Rachel Smith was recently in a car accident. As she recovers, let her see your love and comfort her and her family."

so, today i'm sitting there listening and this is what i hear, "Lord I know you are the ultimate lover of our souls, but I just need someone to hold me throughout the night."

what in the hell is that? is people of hope running a dating service? i have no idea who would think that is the appropriate use of a prayer card. i was actually a little bit offended. i couldn't believe it. i know i am judging the person that wrote that prayer card, but i can't help it. i can't understand why someone would say that out loud. nutbag. no, that isn't very christian of me, but you can't say you don't see where i'm coming from.
