As many of you know, I work in a church office. Lots of interesting stuff goes on. <P>Anyway, the minister just came to the outer office and said that he was not looking forward to his next appointment. It's an individual pre-marital counseling appointment with a young woman (23 or 24 years old) who is getting married in three weeks. She says almost everything is planned, under control, and all is coming together well. <P>And he feels that the situation is such that he needs to talk her out of it.

No, you're right....not a job just anyone could do.<P>But I give him respect for being willing to be honest with her. How many divorces could have been avoided, had the pastor have been as honest.<P>What a good man.<P>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<P>Proverbs 25:11 "Like apples of gold in settings of silver, Is a word spoken in right circumstances."<BR>

Well, she left and I asked him if he'd had any luck. He said he listened to her and does feel more comfort with the situation than he felt earlier. <P>My response is that I hope she is not the Queen of Denial.<BR>
