Dear Discouraged Single Sister ~ How well I understand. Christian men in this part of God's Country seem to want to meet "church girls" wearing Birkenstocks who can keep up with their high maintenance, toy-based lifestyle and worldly interests.
I'm surrounded by Christian guys even my age who still run 30 miles routinely and train for marathons year round -- not to mention hiking, biking, horseback riding, skiing, and snowmobiling. The rest are ranchers.
I'm exhausted just typing the list. And I enjoy an active lifestyle!
Dear Abba . . . Please match my mature sisters to someone who is passionately interested in what YOU are doing and what YOU want US (as part of a WE) to be doing. We promise to live a sensible, healthy, 'fasted lifestyle' and to remain fit and appealing to our Godly future mate.

Please, Dear Abba, send us a grown up man who likes to read. We'd love to gaze across our morning latté at a man who is lost in a daily devotional.
After a day of labor that honors God, let us come together again to count our blessings or enjoy a prayer walk together. We might even engage in a thoughtful chat about John 4 verse five, six, seven . . . instead of pondering Peyton Manning's pass completion statistics . . .
Later, as we ask a blessing over a light early dinner with sweet'n'low instrumental music playing in the background . . . .
Well, I for one have quite possibly checked out and gone to heaven.
So please, Abba, could you arrange for some of my days to turn out like that with a confident, humorous, faithful man who would also enjoy some days like that?
In the Name of my Faithful Savior ~
{And some of God's Helpmates To Be said . . . .}
