I suppose I am somewhat selfish, but I wish Jesus wopuld sound the Last Trump (see 1st Thessalonians 4:15--17) and take us home NOW.
I am the last of my immediate family, and it gets REAL lonely; the church is structured for marrieds (preferably with children) and when you're a single guy at my age you get Those Looks ('What's wrong with him? Is he some kind of pervert? Why hasn't he gotten married already?") I can't help it that A: Nobody I ever wanted wanted me back, or that B: I never got well-enough off financially to attract a nice woman.
(It's a fact of life folks; people judge you at least in part by how much money you make/have/have accumulated and I just haven't accumulated a lot.)
By now I'm just too old, too ugly, and too broke to think of finding some nice lady and getting married. It gets REAL lonely, especially when holidays are coming up. So, I keep hoping that today will be that day. How I hope Jesus comes REAL soon.
