“WATCH FOR POGO’S ABOUNDING SCHTICK In February of 1957, Rich earned his next leave to visit Gail. The news did the job of making Gail’s choice glad. She offered to meet him at the airport and watched curiously as he stepped off the plane wearing his casual blue airman suit. “Nonstop?” Gail asked. “Of course.” “How does one get off a nonstop flight, Mr. Air Force, if it doesn’t ever stop?” Rich stopped and looked Gail over. He didn’t get her joke. “You have luggage?” she asked. “Yes. One case. Over this direction.” He took her arm and led her down the corridor. “Have you ever lost your luggage?” “No. I haven’t flown commercially much.” “I hear you can sue the airlines if they lose your baggage.” “Oh?” “Yes, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll win your case.” Gail skipped in front of her boyfriend and laughed in his face. “What are you talking about, girl? I have no intention of suing the airlines.” Gail’s teasing ceased. Rich obviously had no sense of humor. At least not her kind. Sobered, she let him take the lead.”

“Singles are told to be content with where they are in life but also encouraged and pressured to move out of their current “situation” or “season.” Being told both of these can become a bit confusing.”

“Let’s encourage singles to enjoy this season in other ways than simply telling them it’s a gift. Because if we are being honest, marriage is a gift too and you can’t blame a girl for wanting it.”

“God’s story for someone’s life may look different than the “typical” story you are used to hearing, but that does not diminish the beauty and gift from God. It does not mean someone has lived life wrong. It means God has something else in store.”

“We might not be able to know what reality is about, but we can’t but be aware of the explicitness of facts. To get a better grip on the intricate nature of the truth and its ambiguity, we have got to scrutinize facts and find out about their codes. But, yet, we can’t ignore that reality is a very intriguing place, since facts may be construed, receive variant contexts and create alternate outcomes, which, in turn, might spark new realities, over again. ("Imbroglio" )”

“The best things you can do for your single friends is to listen, validate them, and encourage them never to lower their standards if what they desire lines up with what God says is best.”
