Wanted: Christian guy who doesn뭪 live with his mother

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7274295/

Kristin Billerbeck puts a religious spin on chick lit with her story of a single girl뭩 quest for love, marriage and meaning. Here뭩 an excerpt

"We're live in Silicon Valley at the celebrated wedding of Ashley Wilkes Stockingdale to the world's most eligible bachelor, John Folger, heir to the coffee fortune. Not since JFK Jr. have the world's single women mourned a wedding as today, but Ashley is the woman who stole his heart ...

And she hasn't forgotten her roots; when asked if Franklin Graham might perform the ceremony, Ashley declined, choosing her beloved pastor instead.

My mother told me that no man wanted to marry a lawyer. "You're too educated," she'd say. Like I was supposed to dumb myself down for Mr. Right. I laughed at such a ridiculous concept. After all, I'd dated plenty in college, but I waited on real romance because I knew there was someone out there who would make my feet tingle and my brain fog.

"Saturday night we're going to the local Starbucks for a talent night. If anyone wants to sign up, please see me after Sunday school."

Max is tall and radiates this vibrant love for the Lord. Just by the way he looks at his wife � all googly-eyed, like a lovesick teenager � makes you appreciate him. And maybe covet just a little bit.

Max's wife, Kelly, is a beautiful, blond, doe-eyed princess. Sweeter than caramel, there is no mistaking why Kelly is married. She was the girl in high school we all wished we could be, with the right clothes and the stylish haircut. I can't imagine Kelly ever not knowing how to look.

2. I'm with you

That is offensive on so many levels. No wonder America is in such grave trouble nowadays.

I must say, the phrase "vibrating with love for the Lord" brings to mind Dildo Reilly with a messiah complex....!!!

This has nothing to do with the thread topic I just wanted to record it for posterity's sake. I wonder whose it is.

6. Because God hates you

and you don't have a publishing house that will publish almost anything you happen to hammer out on a keyboard and throngs of the devoted to buy whatever they are told....oh you also don't have a major network that will promote it for free.
